For health plan leaders, growth is a strategic imperative. Yet managed care organizations (MCOs) cannot scale effectively when 10% to 25% of their members disenroll each year.

The good news: 30% to 50% of member churn is voluntary and preventable. But health plan leaders need to know where to look. Enter churn analytics. Health plans that capture and use churn data can re-engage at-risk members, drive satisfaction, and protect long-term growth. Here’s what’s at stake — and how to move from being a reactive organization to a proactive one.
