Navigator Outreach to Churning Population (waiting for data on results of outreach)
10
Navigator-reported challenges to QHP enrollment
Smaller unenrolled population means mass media or large events may be less effective
Fewer “points of entry” that are common among the QHP population
Finding network partners for this population
Affordability (premiums and high deductibles)
Difficulty with plan selection
Lack of incentive to purchase inside the Exchange vs. directly on the outside market

Exchange Board Nominating Committee wants to better utilize the TACs

materials Provide input to strategic plan discussion
Draft strategies related to Outreach TAC
14
Use key partners to understand on-the-ground consumer gaps in knowledge Customer trends & feedback re: affordability and choice Includes customer support network as well as clinics, hospitals, providers, housing,
financial literacy, youth empowerment organizations Optimize health literacy efforts
WAHBE Strategic Plan Discussion Questions
15
What more can we do to help people understand the value of health insurance? How do we reach the right people with consumer education?
What can we do to make plan selection easier for consumers?
Are there natural points of entry for the QHP group that we are still missing?
Draft strategies related to Outreach TAC
16
Identify geographic areas and vulnerable populations Includes partnership with agencies, Navigators, tribal assisters, Brokers, issuers,
associations, refugee/immigrant agencies, community health clinics and others Track and report QHP new and renewal data by relevant demographics Examine loss of coverage and churn between QHP and Washington Apple Health Remaining uninsured including hardest-to-reach
Engage customer support channels Consistent and coordinated audience-specific messaging and materials Strengthen training materials Partner with Tribal Advisory Workgroup, American Indian Health Commission and other
regional and national tribal organizations
Use data to inform and shape future efforts Track equity metrics Convene issuers and health data experts for information sharing
WAHBE Strategic Plan Discussion Questions
17
What outreach strategies haven’t we tried yet?
Do we have all key outreach partners at the table?
Do we have enough information about the remaining and potential market?
Next Steps
