Seniors and Technology: A Paradigm Shift Toward Digitalization
April 13th – 1-2pm ET
The holy grail for service operations is an environment that leverages technology to decrease costs while improving the customer experience. The common wisdom has been that interactive technology won’t be embraced – or used – by older customers, leaving LTC PHS operations largely behind in the trend toward 24/7/365 service centers that are supported by chatbots, portals and other AI robotics. Further, digitalization and the use of analytics can improve core claims functions – enhancing the customer experience while moving the claim curve to the left. The time has come to rethink the paradigm! Hear from experts in digitalization and its potential for transforming the LTC service and operations environments.
Speakers: Becky Freeman (Thrivent), Laura Moore (Moderator, Triplus) Christina Newbrough (The Helper Bees), Shannon Perschy (John Hancock)
How to Communicate with Policyholders
April 22nd – 12-1pm ET
Policyholder communications can be expensive. Lapse Designees and Privacy mails are required but is there value in other types of communications to policyholders? The panel will discuss how their companies approach policyholder communications and their rationale.
Speakers: Beth Acerbo (MetLife), Jodi Anatole (Moderator, Endeavour Consulting), Andy Freedman (Assured Allies), Jessica Loesing (Faegre Drinker), Sharon Reed (LTCG)
Win-Win Provider Partnerships
April 29th – 2-3pm ET
LTC carriers pay out over $11 billion per year in claims, directly or indirectly to care providers. Providers want to work with our industry, but how? Where do our interests align and diverge? In this session we need YOU to work with our provider panel to develop realistic partnership strategies.
Speakers: Mary Alexander (Home Instead Senior Care), Matt Capell (Moderator, LTCG)
Remote Work and Business As Usual
April 29th – 3-4pm ET
How do you manage key LTC functions in a COVID environment? Many employees and key functions are now working and taking place in home offices and dining room tables across the world. We are working anywhere but the office. What did we learn in the shift? What will those key functions look like in the coming months or years?
Speakers: Matt Capell (Moderator, LTCG), Paula Johnson (LTCG), Julie Kirby
