AbstractNot only is health care and its attendant costs a number-one concern in the country at the present time, but different forms of government-sponsored health insurance for those who are uninsured are also being considered.
Companies may want to consider the opportunity to align seniors with specialized insurance packages that include vision and dental. The best way to reach seniors would be through direct mail efforts targeted to these households. Many seniors have become well versed in selecting their own insurers for Part D coverage, which is typically done through a personal call to the insurance company or agent. For this reason, there would be a certain comfort level among those 65+ to seek out insurers for this type of coverage. However, any communications through the internet may not resonate as this group is not reliant on the internet for information. Although Walmart, Target and Walgreens have new on-site programs that provide vision and dental services, seniors are the least interested of all in pursuing this channel.
