It would seem likely that Medicare Advantage would start offering more digital health tools by 2030 simply because, like any other business, they need to keep up with the times as well. As the younger population ages, there will be more tech-savvy individuals aging into Medicare.
There is nothing set in stone guaranteeing there will be digital tools like apps. But everything is streaming that way. Many plans offer digital health tools like digital onboarding and communications through emails.
Many Healthcare companies are offering wellness apps, mental health apps, fitness and exercise. I can only see those opportunities increasing as the desire to keep our Seniors healthy and fit is so important.
Traditionally the majority of the insurance companies have some form of an app which functions as a ID card along with claims and benefits so you can see the history of medical services and what's been paid by the insurance companies I would think within reason the insurance companies will start to expand the apps and to other tools they can offer for weight loss, diabetes management, respiratory issues.
Most generally, there are already apps in place with Medicare Advantage plans. If you did not receive the information on how to sign up by mail or email, you can call the customer service number on your Advantage plan card.
Many Medicare Advantage plans have apps where you can access your information, rewards. If that is important for you I can guide you to the plans that provide an app.
