CDHP Communication Solutions

Need help introducing or promoting your consumer-driven health plan?

Whether you’re introducing a consumer-driven health plan (CDHP) for the first time, or simply trying to get buy-in for your plan, you know that the key to reaping a positive return is higher participation. And the key to reaping higher participation is communication. You also know (or at least suspect) that there are some basic truths standing in the way:

  1. People don’t like change — especially when it comes to changing their benefit plans. You need a plan to manage the change so people are able to approach benefit decision-making with an open mind.

  2. Consumer-driven health plans are hard to understand — made more challenging by the fact that 91 million Americans think they're functionally health illiterate.  The more you can do to help people understand how their benefit plans work, the better position they’ll be in to choose the one that’s right for them. 

  3. Health plan communications can only go so far — as far as employees are concerned, the most meaningful communications come from you, not from your health plan. To change behaviors and boost participation you need a proven, customized communication campaign.

You can get a fully customizable, turnkey CDHP communication campaign from Schauer Global Health’s Healthy Revolutions online library for a fraction of the cost of having one created for you. You pay less because you take our best-practice communication material and customize them for your organization. Here’s what you get (HRA and HSA versions available):

  • A sample change management communication plan.CDHP

  • Introductory memo announcing the change (manager/supervisor version and employee version).

  • A flyer with an overview of how an HRA or HSA works, with answers to frequently-asked questions.

  • A series of four print-ready posters to be used leading up to open enrollment. 

  • An online tutorial that walks people through the basics of an HRA or HSA (to be posted online or used in lunch and learn sessions).

  • PowerPoint slides that can be used in employee meetings to explain how an HRA or HSA works.

  • FAQs that can be posted online or handed out in employee meetings.

  • A series of articles, to be included in an employee newsletter or online, leading up to enrollment.
