The challenge

Finding the right Medicare plan match

Medicare beneficiaries often have difficulty matching their needs to the right health insurance products—leading many to overpay for plans relative to the value they receive. Organizations trying to help them—whether commercial carriers, employers, call centers, or brokers—find it challenging to provide beneficiaries with the information they need to make the right decisions.

The solution

Fast, accurate Medicare plan guidance

Medicare Suggest uses an individual’s medical history to suggest the least expensive Medicare Advantage, Prescription Drug Plan, and Medicare Supplement insurance products based on their demographic factors, medical claims, and pharmacy claims. Using this data and a robust set of machine learning algorithms based on millions of lives, Medicare Suggest provides highly customized and accurate estimates for Medicare beneficiaries, including those transitioning from ACO, commercial, or employer-provided health insurance.
