Medicare Shopping and Switching Study

Publishes January 31, 2024 | Senior Market

Over the last 16 years, our Medicare Shopping and Switching Study has been the gold-standard industry report for senior consumerism during the AEP. Product managers, marketers, distributors, agencies, and consultants eagerly anticipate its publication because it traditionally signifies the start of next year’s decision making.

LOCAL MARKET ADD-ON STUDY AVAILABLE

Add on a local study – With a larger sample of seniors in a local market, the report illuminates unique characteristics of members in the area and how they deviate from the national data. This helps plan managers analyze results or tailor campaigns to the specific nuances of their local markets. This study is generally completed four to six weeks after the corresponding national study. Contact your Deft Research Client Services associate to assess the sample feasibility in your area.

MEDICARE MARKET ASSESSMENT

Obtain Deft’s Medicare Market Assessment for your service area and understand at the county, state or national level which product categories seniors are in and where they could move based on last year’s local switch data (where applicable).
