The Future of Health, Wealth and AgeTech
Medicarians is nearly here! Medicarians is the only place to network and learn from thousands of experts across the senior health, wealth, and agetech ecosystems. Max is excited to participate as a Moderator for two panels during the event. Learn more about those sessions below and explore the full agenda here.
Added Benefit Selection With Utilization and Outcomes in Mind
Food delivery, fitness classes, home remodeling…it’s no wonder that many seniors are attracted to the ever-increasing added benefits in Medicare Advantage plans. But how can we make sure that added benefits actually deliver on their promise? How should plans evaluate which benefits truly improve health outcomes and drive down costs? How should benefits make their case, and help seniors learn about (and keep using) what they offer? We’ll tackle all these questions and more, helping seniors get the full benefit of their benefits.
Financial Security and Income Planning
What fun is it to age gracefully if you cannot afford it? When thinking about health, it is all too easy to ignore one very important type of health, financial health. It is not easy. More money solves many things, but more money is not necessarily a realistic option for the vast majority of the aging population. How can we elevate the topic of financial wellness in conversations about senior health? How can physical health and financial health be more intertwined? How can those serving one part of the equation help those working the other? What are the options, new ways of thinking, and/or new technologies that are now available that weren’t previously? Join this panel as we discuss the inextricable links between senior health AND wealth.
