Health is about more than doctor visits. People with Medicaid face many upstream challenges and barriers to care – getting a ride to the doctor or pharmacy, not having stable housing or employment, or having to choose between eating or paying the copay for their medication. We’re increasing our focus on drivers of health, the non-medical factors that influence a person’s overall health, access to care and quality of life.
Below are a few examples of Social Determinants of health communication pieces tailored for various markets.
While national resources exist to help with food insecurity, housing and other drivers of health, our state-based plans and community partners offer support right around the corner. Our Drivers of Health flyers round up the local resources and health plan benefits, like Community Resource Link or post-discharge meal delivery services, that are practical and easy for members to access. We created a template design, pulled in information applicable across markets, and distributed to each market writer to complete with their market’s custom resource information.
