Health Plan Member Satisfaction - Senior Management Imperative: How to Measure It and How to Fix It

Sept. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- MANASQUAN, NJ --  Senior managers from health insurance companies across the country are expected to participate in “Health Plan Member Satisfaction - Senior Management Imperative: How to Measure It and How to Fix It,” Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 1:30 pm EDT.

Prompted by the increased focus and attention on the current wave of studies and surveys that have found wide swings in levels of health plan member satisfaction, this special audio webcast is being sponsored by the Managed Care Information Center (MCIC).

Member satisfaction has become measurable and is now public knowledge. It is a key ingredient in national ratings programs.

Indeed, member satisfaction is an integral piece of a health plan management team’s performance ratings.

The status quo is changing. Health plan senior management cannot accept the current wide swings in levels of member satisfaction, observers say.

Among health plan leadership today member satisfaction is likely a key focus in this era of national emphasis on quality and satisfaction. But improving member satisfaction ratings is a challenge for health plan management. No health plan senior executive can accept poor ratings.
