Just 35% of respondents reported that their health plan communicates with them about the state of their health and their health risks.

Key survey results are below:

Brennan Collins, vice president of product at HealthMine said, "Most plans are starting to personalize their communication to members beyond fees and coverage to topics that are directly relevant and meaningful to each person's health. As plans continue to improve communication to employees about personal risk identification, closing gaps in care and management of chronic disease, health plans will increase members' health intelligence and plans can realize greater business value."
