Health Plans Deliver Poor Customer Experience

In the 2011 Temkin Experience Ratings, we examined the customer experience across 12 industries. For this post, we will take a closer look at the 10 health plans  in the ratings.

Health plans have an average rating of “Poor” and was the next to lowest ranked industry…

Let’s take closer look at the results for all of the individual health plans…

As you can see, TriCare leads the health plans and is the only plan to cross over into the “okay” rating. Medicare and Kaiser Peermanente are the only two in the “poor” rating. The remaining seven firms firms earned a “very poor” ratings.

Let’s take a look at the three components of the Temkin Experience Ratings…

TriCare  is the top-performing health plan when it comes to all three experience components and is the only firm to pass the line of goodness for its functional experience. The remaining health plans drop off rapidly; especially when it comes to the accessible component. Anthem falls well below the other health plans across all experience components.

The bottom line: Health plans, like TV service providers, need a customer experience overhaul
