Importance of Simplicity in Insurance
Importance of Simplicity in Insurance
     Written by Administrator|Thursday, 22 December 2011 07:21

Authors Nicole Donnelly, Penny Lane, Joan Winchester and Christina Powell wrote that, "For people with partial literacy or technology skills, medical terminology and other technical words can make print and web communication difficult, if not impossible, to understand, Jargons and technical language also make it harder for consumers to enroll in and retain health insurance."
Read the sentences below and decide which one is easier to read and understand. It is a description sentence from a health Insurance policy.

Enroll America and the Maximus Center for Health Literacy has published these two sentences on "health literacy".

These sentences are trying to highlight the importance of clear explanation of how health insurance works will be to getting people to sign up for coverage.

The part of population that is expected to take the health coverage under the Affordable Care Act is mostly the one with lower income and also the less likely to have had health insurance in the history. They also have probably less level of health literacy and less knowledge of descriptions of health insurance policies and coverage options.

Are you insured?
he policy brief highlights should be clear and simple descriptions will be essential in order to make the most of enrollment in health insurance policies.

This chart shows the condition:


For such populations, thick booklets with unusual jargon describing the insurance policies offered by the Insurance companies under the law likely won't be of much use. The policy brief highlights should be clear and simple descriptions will be essential in order to make the most of enrollment in health insurance policies.
States are just now preparing to conduct health exchanges, for testing out the online marketplaces where persons will purchase coverage starting in 2014. Insurance policies and plans are at work on new four-page summaries of what they cover, a sort of nutrition label for health insurance required by the Affordable Care Act. The words they use and the health literacy level they write to will likely ripple, in terms of how many Americans purchase coverage and how many, confronted with the daunting process, give up. These judgments are, in the scheme of a $900 billion health overhaul, admittedly small ones. But they are among the building blocks being set in place right now that could determine the law's reach, how many Americans gain health insurance and actually understand what they're signing up for.
