Consumer confusion plagues the healthcare insurance industry. According to the American Dental Association, 19 percent of U.S. adults have difficulty understanding health information. Other research shows that only a third of employees understand their benefits very well. Consumers are turning to social media for answers and over 40 percent say that the health information they find on social media influences their healthcare decisions. Plus, those that are 18 through 24 years old are likely to use social media for health related discussions.

“We’re excited about the MarCom Awards as they show that we are successfully engaging our consumers with content that appeals to them using social media tools that reach them where they are,” said Solstice’s Chief Operating Officer Carlos Ferrera. “I can’t think of another time in dental insurance history when creativity and clarity have been more important.” About Solstice
