Medallia Launches Healthcare Payer Member Retention and Engagement Suite

Enables Payers to grow and retain members by delivering seamless and connected experiences.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – August 17, 2021  Medallia, Inc. (NYSE: MDLA), the global leader in customer and employee experience, today announced the launch of the Medallia Healthcare Payer Member Retention and Engagement Suite. The Healthcare Payer Member Retention and Engagement Suite enables insurers to engage members at key moments during the journey by gathering instantaneous feedback and insights across all channels, surfacing insights to the appropriate teams, and providing recommended actions for a better member experience.

“As it was for most businesses, the pandemic presented complex challenges for healthcare payers regarding coverage and access to care. Healthcare consumers are making decisions based on interactions with their insurers, in near real-time. This dynamic is forcing the industry to take a data-driven approach to engaging members at the right time, with the right message, via the right channel to create more valuable and trusting relationships, driving better long-term outcomes,” Steven Carleton, Vice President Customer Experience, Premera Blue Cross.

The new offering from Medallia addresses a number of payer use cases and needs, helping payers:

  • Improve engagement by listening, understanding, and responding to the needs of members 
  • Decrease churn by empowering teams to resolve friction in the journey and meet members in the moment 
  • Attract new members by delivering seamless and connected experiences with consumers 
  • Improve efficiencies and ease of doing business by optimizing digital communication channels 

“With increased competition in a price sensitive market, payers are finding new ways to differentiate themselves with consumers and members through improved experiences,” said Toni Land, Head of Clinical Healthcare Experience, Medallia. “Leveraging industry-leading experience management capabilities, Medallia partners with payers to help design and implement effective, scalable engagement programs with measurable outcomes.”

The solution includes: 

  • Real-time feedback mechanism for capturing member experiences throughout the entire journey, whether in app, digital or over the phone 
  • SMS communication to find an appropriate care provider, manage the claims process, and engage members pre and post encounters 
  • Text analytics to identify themes and trends across the specific member populations with the use of AI and machine learning
  • Video communication platform to prioritize high-risk members, address service recovery needs, and give members an opportunity to leave feedback throughout the process
  • Speech analytics to surface insights from every conversation, combine with other channels for a complete member view, and address pain points in real time 
  • Digital engagement and analytics solution to enrich real-time experiences by cutting through noise to  prioritize and address what matters most

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
