I am a researcher from L&M Policy Research. We have been contracted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to conduct an evaluation of the medical savings account option under Medicare.
In previous phases of the evaluation, L&M completed case studies of Medicare Advantage organizations offering the MSA plans and consumer research with Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in the MSA plans. We are currently conducting research with “information intermediaries,” including insurance agents/brokers, primary care physicians, and State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) counselors and staff. The aim of the current phase of the research is to gather information from individuals who explain the plans to Medicare beneficiaries, help them to enroll in the plans, and/or assist them in using the plan or addressing problems with the plans.
We are looking to conduct telephone focus groups with brokers who are selling MSA plans in the next two weeks. If you are interested or would like more information on our study, please email me.
