Client Challenges Today
The growing Medicare supplement market continues to present challenges to U.S. health insurance providers. The average net profit margin across the industry currently stands at 4%—a number driven down by slow and ineffective legacy systems, substantial sales and marketing expenditures, and high administration costs. Selling a fairly standardized product, Medicare supplement providers are forced to compete on a combination of price and quality of service. Given such demanding customer expectations, optimizing distribution channels and enhancing operational efficiency have emerged as the industry’s true sources of competitive advantage, separating the high performers from the crowd.
