Description:
UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee works with providers and local resources to give free diapers to Medicaid families for completing critical health actions such as well-child visits and immunizations. To promote the Diaper Connections™ Program, UnitedHealthcare works with Icario to develop and test outreach approaches to meet members where they are and pave the way for increased engagement. The results are positive for all involved: Babies are healthier, moms and kids receive the care and daily staples they need, UnitedHealthcare lowers costly claims related to diaper rash, and providers see more patients.
You’ll learn:
• How repeat provider-consumer engagement shows diapers make a difference in motivating parents toward desired behaviors
• How receiving diapers frees up funds for food and utilities, and even opens employment opportunities for families facing social and economic barriers
• How powerful incentives decrease no-show appointments and build strong bonds between providers and families
