What Are the Consumers’ Expectations?
• They Take Care Into Their Own Hands
• Millennials see themselves as responsible for their
own care and are less likely to rely on a health
system they are dissatisfied with.
• They Do Their Research
• Considering how many millennials don’t have a
dedicated PCP, it’s less surprising to hear that 38%
say they trust their peers more than their physician.
• They Want Up-Front Cost Estimates
• Price transparency is a hot topic in healthcare and
millennials are the generation most often attributed
as the purveyors of change.
• They Want Apps — And Lots Of Them
• While this may seem obvious, digital options for
patient engagement are a must for millennials.
• “Healthy” Means More Than “Not Sick”
• On average, millennials have a very different
definition of what health means compared to older
generations. In an Aetna survey, millennials were
twice as likely as boomers and Gen-Xers to
cite eating healthy and exercising as part of the
definition of overall health.
• Shopping for Healthcare Insurance
• Consumer behavior applies to “shopping” for health
insurance when it comes to millennials. When given
the choice, millennials prefer to shop online for
health insurance, with 55% focusing on cost when
selecting a health plan.
