Strategies for Outreach
Conference Call

Statistics from
CMS Medicare Claims Data on the use of specific preventive services show that many people do not receive these important services. Many reasons might explain these findings, including lack of awareness, misinformation, or limited access or trust. The topic, Medicare-covered preventive services, presents an opportunity to reach new beneficiaries or to reach current clients with a new message. From outreach and education to counseling, small changes to your methods could impact many beneficiaries.
This call will provide an opportunity for SHIPs to share stories and discuss solutions to the following issues:
- How much do you know about Medicare-covered preventive services?
- When do you talk to clients about these services?
- What do you think is the role of SHIPs in educating beneficiaries about these services?
- What prevents you from talking about prevention?
- What potential opportunities can you identify to incorporate this message into your current work?
