MedicareCompareUSA Announces Continued Growth in 2018
Through Medicare Helplines and Assisting Patients Impacted by Network Changes, Company Becomes an Indispensable Partner for Many Healthcare Providers
MedicareCompareUSA’s insurance helplines provide an important and often missing link between healthcare providers and consumers by focusing discussions on the Medicare plans accepted by the caller’s doctors and preferred hospital. Agents seamlessly educate consumers on plan options, including Medicare Advantage, Supplement and Prescription plans, and then support enrollment in the plan chosen, thus simplifying and streamlining what is often a very confusing and cumbersome process. Calls are currently fielded for all 50 states, and the new alliances forged by MedicareCompareUSA in 2018 offer additional resources to better serve their clients’ needs.
“The helplines are particularly beneficial to seniors just turning 65 who become inundated with conflicting marketing messages from competing plans,” says company Founder and CEO

In the last year, MCUSA also released innovative Medicare Advantage and Supplement enrollment and market-penetration tools on MedicareCompareUSA’s website. These industry-leading tools help hospital executives better manage their local Medicare population by providing a comprehensive picture of what their local population is purchasing relative to health insurance and what shifts are taking place in local market share for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans. The mapping tool is available free of charge to hospitals, health systems and physician organizations, and can be accessed at medicarecompareusa.com/providers.
“This knowledge is essential in anticipating stability in a given market and the potential impact of changing a provider’s Medicare insurer contractual relationships, as well as seeing where the greatest opportunities may exist for risk and shared savings, insurer partnership and plan sponsorship,” said Gauthier. “For healthcare providers that are strategically aligning themselves with specific Medicare Advantage plans or participating in a Medicare ACO, this information is especially important to measure the plans receptivity and changes in the marketplace.”
Gauthier says that MedicareCompareUSA is already working on many exciting enhancements that will be introduced throughout 2019, all of which are being designed to align with the changing buying habits of patients and to further position a hospital as the undisputed go-to resource for all insurance information and needs.
“Because MedicareCompareUSA is not owned or managed by any Medicare insurance company, we can serve as an unbiased Medicare insurance advocate that consumers can turn to with confidence,” he says. “As a result, we expect continued growth nationwide in the new year as hospitals, medical practices and clinics increasingly consider us an indispensable part of a proactive patient-communication and population-management strategy.”
