Medicare Advantage HRA’s
Medicare HRA’s or health risk assessments are an optional series of questions that your client will answer pertaining to their health. What the HRA does is allow the carriers to know more about the client’s needs and better support them.
Medicare Advantage HRA’s: Preventative services
The HRA’s help the carriers match the clients to health and wellness services. The information the clients provide on the assessment will be used to create a personalized care plan for them. The assessment can be shared with their primary care provider and other health care providers as well.
To a patient completing a health risk assessment, it may just seem like a simple questionnaire. The HRA will ask questions about health conditions, lifestyle choices, mental health, and family health history. These questions are intended to identify potential risk factors that could be detrimental to the patient’s health.
However, the purpose behind this questionnaire is significant. Some of the benefits of the health risk assessment include Disease management, medication adherence, and preventative screenings.
These benefits such as preventative services are able to identify and manage risk factors and also reduce the number of chronic conditions. This will keep the patients healthier and also decrease the health care costs significantly.
Medicare Advantage HRA’s: How to start
As an agent, understanding how important this is for our clients you may ask what’s in it for me? Doing the HRA with your client will help build the relationship. The clients will have more trust in you knowing that you’re helping them get the best out of their health plans.
Aside from the satisfaction of helping your client, you will also get paid by most carriers for HRA. Our online enrollment platforms Connecture and SunFire will let you complete the HRA with your client right after you’ve sent in their application.
