Greenwald Research Announces Release of Medicare Broker Research
Greenwald Research, in partnership with the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance, announces the release of its latest Syndicated Study: Medicare Marketing & Distribution. This research program surveyed 508 Medicare brokers, 1,023 health care consumers between 64 and 68 years old and interviewed executives at 5 national FMOs. The research provides a 360-degree view of how Medicare is marketed and distributed today, including brand strengths and weaknesses among both consumers and brokers, drivers of loyalty and satisfaction, and opportunities for growth.
“Medicare is one of the fastest growing product lines of health insurance carriers today and the success of its distribution is of utmost importance to carriers and the industry,” said the study’s author, Edna Dretzka, Managing Director, Healthcare at Greenwald Research. “This study provides the first comprehensive look at who brokers are, how they select carriers and marketing organization partners, and what they need to succeed.”
Greenwald’s research program sheds light on important topics related to:
- Industry dynamics: past, present, and future
- Consumer and broker segments
- Carrier selection and rankings
- Key roles of carriers and field marketing organizations (FMOs)
- Key value of brokers to consumers
- Areas of opportunity for products and services
“This information provides important clarity to how Medicare is marketed and distributed today,” said Jesse Slome, Executive Director of the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance.
The results will be shared at the upcoming Medicare Supplement Industry Summit in Chicago, Illinois from September 8 through 10, 2021.
