Improve members’ understanding of their health plans with these resources

Only 40% of new members report having an excellent understanding of their health plan. Poor understanding can lead to unexpected surprises, such as delays in care, additional out-of-pocket costs and more.¹

The Getting Started Toolkit is a self-service, online resource that provides brokers and employers with information to share with employees to help them gain a better understanding of their health plans.

The Getting Started Toolkit is organized into 3 sections to guide employers on the best time to share important health plan information:

• Before the plan begins
• When the plan begins
• One to three months into the plan

Each section includes a variety of resources, including fliers, brochures, infographics and emails. It also includes information on preventive care, helping employees find a doctor, Virtual Visits, and how to find and estimate care costs. See all of the Toolkit resources in the At-A-Glance flier below.
