Today, there are more opportunities than ever for insurers to better meet customer needs and build lasting relationships. Here's how to capitalize.
Health insurance may not be the first industry you think of when considering best-in-class customer service.
The entire health insurance industry is traditionally viewed as clunky, confusing, and not consumer friendly. Across the insurance spectrum health insurance has the lowest NPS across all other insurance at a mere 19%.
Let’s face it, consumers do not understand health insurance. In a world of premiums, deductibles and co-pays it can be utterly confusing, making customer service even more important to support a myriad of customer questions.
In the face of growing competition, this is the time for health insurers to re-evaluate their service offerings to compete with more nimble providers who have made their name on superior service.

Service matters more today because consumers are accustomed to the Amazons of the world -- easy and clear service that is resolved instantly.
