eHealth offers Medicare beneficiaries comprehensive support, including its new “LiveAdvise” tool, to help them enroll in 2025 Medicare coverage

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Starting on October 15, this year’s Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is widely expected to be the most dynamic in recent memory, but after a year of disciplined preparation, eHealth, Inc. (Nasdaq: EHTH) (eHealth.com) is ready to help beneficiaries review their options and identify and enroll in the right Medicare plan for their personal needs and budget.

A Year of Innovation

For the third consecutive year, eHealth is leveraging new technology and internal processes to support Medicare beneficiaries this AEP. The company is officially launching its “LiveAdvise” experience (formerly known as “Advisor in the Room”), allowing beneficiaries to navigate the shopping and enrollment process with a live agent by video, building personal relationships and bridging the gap between the online and in-person shopping experience. Additional technology improvements this AEP include:

“MatchMonitor,” a tool to simplify AEP for existing eHealth customers whose plans may be changing”AppTracker,” to keep customers informed of the status of their application every step of the wayIntuitive improvements to the customer experience, including enhanced usability and personalization across the ecommerce siteUp-front needs analysis tools to help beneficiaries focus on the plans that are best suited to their prioritiesImproved live agent chat and co-browsing functions

Building on a foundation of success

Last year eHealth successfully launched a new brand identity based on rigorous consumer research and testing, and a new company spokesperson, Eve, who embodies the company’s brand and represents the compassion and expertise eHealth customers deserve. This year eHealth is building on that foundation with new direct-response television ads, online ads, and other marketing content featuring Eve and showcasing real-life Medicare beneficiaries using eHealth to review their coverage options and save money on premiums and out-of-pocket costs. eHealth will also deploy an integrated marketing strategy across paid search, direct mail, email, search engine optimization, affiliate, and strategic partner channels. See Eve’s newest ad here.

A nimble, empowered organization

After last year’s Medicare AEP, eHealth made strategic adjustments in its business organization to empower leadership to more effectively pursue and achieve business goals while encouraging innovation and cooperation across teams. Throughout the spring and summer months the company also hired and trained new licensed in-house insurance agents and representatives to support AEP goals for 2024. To help ensure beneficiary satisfaction, eHealth’s phone agents will be supported by refined and expanded back-office support tools and a “100% Verification” standard for telephonic enrollments to ensure clarity for beneficiaries and higher-quality enrollments for carriers.

A team dedicated to customer care

Across the organization, eHealth employees are doing their part to make this AEP a success. Through company social channels, eHealth is highlighting the personal stories of licensed insurance agents and other employees with its “We are eHealth” campaign. Additionally, for the second year in a row the company’s “AEP Aces” initiative is encouraging employees who do not typically work directly with beneficiaries to undergo special training and volunteer as phone screeners during the busiest weeks of AEP.  eHealth employees are motivated to volunteer to help reduce hold times and assist with providing beneficiaries a great experience.

“Medicare beneficiaries could face a challenging AEP this year because of significant changes to their current plans, including out-of-pocket costs and core and supplemental benefits,” said eHealth CEO Fran Soistman. “We’ve focused all our efforts over the past several months to serve beneficiaries better and more effectively in finding the right Medicare coverage for their personal needs and budget. I am particularly proud of the united determination among our employees to make this a successful AEP, both for our customers and the company.”

PARIS, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It is with deep sadness that iM Global Partner (iMGP) announces the passing, one month ago, of our dear friend and colleague, Philippe Uzan.

 

 

Philippe’s exceptional career in asset management spanned more than 30 years and is marked by remarkable achievements in the organizations for which he worked and deep contributions to the industry as a whole. His passing is a tremendous loss to all who knew and worked with him.

Philippe joined iM Global Partner in February 2020 as Deputy CEO and CIO Global Asset Management, responsible for overseeing our financial strategies and products and designing value-added investment solutions for our clients across Europe and the United States.

His expertise spanned all asset classes, and he had a deep understanding of markets and their impact on investors and their investment needs. He was an eloquent man who contributed a number of papers and articles to the media, always with the intention of educating and making financial concepts more relatable. He has left an indelible mark on our organization and on the broader industry.

Prior to joining iM Global Partner, Philippe was latterly Chief Investment Officer at Edmond De Rothschild Asset Management, where he worked for 11 years and where he led the portfolio management teams, optimizing the synergies between analysis and portfolio management. He previously spent three years as Research and Global Asset Allocation Director, where he developed the portfolio management and research teams and modernized investment processes and the product range.

Philippe began his career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at Société Générale and held roles at AGF Asset Management (now part of Allianz Global Investors) and Natixis AM.

Throughout his career, Philippe’s outstanding intelligence, humility, and collaborative spirit earned him the respect and admiration of his peers.

Philippe Couvrecelle, Founder and CEO of iM Global Partner, expressed his heartfelt condolences: “It was with infinite sadness and pain that I learned of Philippe’s passing from a devastating illness. I had known Philippe closely for almost 20 years, as we worked together for Natixis, Edmond de Rothschild and iMGP. I pay immense tribute to his humanity, his sense of humor, his brilliant intelligence and his presence, which I will deeply miss. We had shared so much and still had so much to do together. In his memory, we will continue our path forward with strength, success and intensity, always preserving our values and our company culture to which he was so attached.

We will all miss Philippe enormously at iM Global Partner. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his warmth, generosity, kindness and his unwavering dedication to his colleagues and community. Our thoughts are with his wife and three children, his family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time.”
