Insuring Growth explores the biggest challenges and opportunities facing health insurance leaders, focusing on what executives need to know now.
The Medicare Advantage (MA) market is crowded. Plans compete for attention, agents juggle endless options, and members struggle to find coverage that fits their needs. So, how do you stand out?
In Episode #5 of Insuring Growth, Jay Davis, Co-Founder and COO of Champion Health Plan, shared with e123 President Brendan McLoughlin how they are succeeding with Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs) for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and how it’s shaping their broader MA strategy.
Jay is back on Insuring Growth to share how they are applying their success from C-SNPs to create MA plans that stand out from the crowd. Champion has built its reputation on one simple but disruptive idea: engagement. Engagement with patients, physicians, specialists, agents and FMOs. Davis believes this relentless focus is not just a differentiator, but the future of sustainable growth in healthcare.
From building disease-specific networks to deploying a population health platform that connects members, caregivers, and providers with real-time data, Champion is tackling the most pressing matters facing health plans. They are successfully serving sicker populations with fewer resources, without compromising care. The answer isn’t cutting corners, it’s doubling down on relationships and building smarter, more connected systems.
The conversation also discusses where Medicare Advantage is headed. With mounting policy pressures, shifting reimbursement models, and the constant movement towards value-based care (VBC), Davis lays out why specialty networks and high-touch service are vital. As Champion expands its portfolio into broader MA offerings, the company is betting on connection, clarity, and trust.
For agents and FMOs, the takeaway is simple: engagement drives everything. As Davis puts it, “it’s complicated when you’re healthy, It’s impossible when you’re sick.”
