Innovare Partners with eHealth – Medicare Made Easy

PDF VERSION: Innovare eHealth Press Release

[INNOVARE MEDICAL MEDIA HQ}, November 9, 2021 — Patient engagement leader Innovare Medical Media (Innovare) announced today that it has forged a new strategic partnership with leading online health insurance marketplace eHealth, Inc. to help consumers learn about Medicare coverage options and the value of Medicare Advantage plans.

Innovare Co-founder, Michael Ricciardi said, “Innovare has been on the forefront of connecting leading businesses with the ideal healthcare target audiences and we are happy our paths crossed with the strategic team at eHealth.  From our initial discussions it was evident that the Innovare Medical Media’s Nationwide hospital digital signage platform would be a good match for the education and awareness initiatives of eHealth, showcasing important content directly to a valuable audience – patients, family members and staff at the hospital.”

As a licensed online health insurance broker with over 20 years of experience, eHealth has helped millions of Americans review their coverage options, see which plans cover their preferred doctors and personal drug regimen, and enroll in the best plan for their personal needs and budget. There is no additional charge for eHealth’s services.  Consumers can visit ehealth.com/easy to find out just how easy it is to find plans in their area that include their preferred doctors and hospital networks.

Alan Jones, Vice President of Provider Partnerships at eHealth, commented, “The future of health care is consumer-first, built on trust and unbiased transparency. With Innovare we are finding new ways to empower patients and their families to make better care and coverage decisions.”

The feedback from the Innovare Hospital Placed Media Network has been very positive.

“In my experience working with patients and families at the hospital, all the changes in healthcare have made things confusing and they tend to have a lot of questions.  The eHealth creative running on the Innovare screens at our hospitals has helped create more awareness on Medicare enrollment and directs our patients and families to a resource that simplifies the process.” – Social Worker from Innovare Network Hospital

“With increasing healthcare costs and decreasing reimbursements, hospital leaders find the Innovare proprietary economic model a critical financial building block for the future,” Ricciardi added.

At ZERO cost to the hospitals, Innovare has already deployed over 350 digital phone charging stations across the country, a free benefit for patients, visitors and staff in hospital cafeterias and public areas. Paired with each charging station is a large digital screen which provides marketing messages for hospital initiatives and approved sponsors such as eHealth, along with colleges/universities, banks/credit unions, etc. Supported by its partners, Innovare has already contributed over $4.0 million back to its 150+ hospital partners.

Hospital Placed Media Continues to Grow

Out of Home (OOH) advertising spending took a tremendous hit in 2020 and is showing signs of recovery in 2021.  Climbing back but off to a slow start, OOH spending was down 30% in the first quarter compared to the previous year.

With a valuable target niche audience, Hospital Placed Media (HPM) is an OOH segment that weathered 2020, and is continuing to rapidly grow through the first six months of 2021.  Leading clients throughout Innovare’s HPM network have increased their spending and doubled down on the length of their campaigns.  Samantha Sampey, Media Sales Consultant at Innovare commented, “Right now, the top categories investing in HPM are colleges/universities, auto dealerships, banks/credit unions, real estate, insurance, and healthcare-related.  With the positioning of high-impact digital display technology, outfitted with cellphone charging capabilities, clients find the visibility to be ideal for reaching valuable demographics.”

Hospital Placed Media continues to be the fastest growing media platform in OOH, where leading local, regional, and national organizations wisely chose to invest their marketing resources to capture the most desired target audiences at the hospital.

Celebrating 150 Hospital Partners

Thanks to Northwell Health and their continued partnership as Innovare is excited to announce the launch of two more Northwell Health hospitals in NY including Queens and Long Island communities – Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital & Long Island Jewish Valley Stream Medical Center.  This brings Innovare’s total hospital partners to 151 Nationwide, including 27 hospitals in the state of New York.  Innovare, a family start up small-business, has seen dramatic growth from when they signed their first hospital in 2011!

Mike Ricciardi, Partner at Innovare, adds “Expanding this partnership with Northwell Health is a true honor and we look forward to bringing their local healthcare heroes, community members and leading businesses together!”

Michael Ricciardi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Innovare Medical Media

Innovare operates digital and static screens on 130 hospital campuses in 25 states.  The screens are primarily in  cafeterias, busy waiting areas, and the main lobby areas on hospital campuses.   The majority of the digital displays feature custom designed charging solutions to support patient experience on campus and create greater content visibility due to their placement.  Insider talked with Michael Ricciardi, Co-Founder and Managing Partner.

Tell us about what you do with hospitals?

Innovare creates a concession partnership with hospitals/health systems where our team is responsible for all the heavy lifting.  Innovare provides the display equipment, maintains all the technology, and shares a percentage of the revenue with the hospital.  Innovare has already contributed approximately $3.5M to our hospitals.  Also, at no cost, the hospital runs various marketing and communications content on the displays which accounts for approximately 20% of media loop.

Who advertises?

We have seen increased buys from colleges and universities who have been happy with increased enrollment in the programs promoted and greater website traffic to their sites.  This year, with many schools trying to increase awareness on distance learning and online availability, Innovare turned out to be a good niche to promote RN to BSN programs, as well as MSN and physician MBA programs.

We have clients from the automotive industry who offer discounts to healthcare professionals.  Innovare also works with banks, credit unions, financial advisors/wealth managers, insurance and real estate since there is success in the local/regional reach as the audience at a hospital is local (30 mi radius) with little waste.

How has covid impacted your company?

After a challenging 2020, our team is grateful to have managed through the year well and is looking forward to a new year of new opportunities.  It will be important to continue having fun as a team in 2021 as this past year made it difficult to be together and although we did our best, virtual culture is just is not the same.  In 2019, Innovare added 35 new hospitals, but last year, Innovare only launched 7.  Our goal is to launch 20 new hospitals in 2021.  Innovare is optimistic that our contributions to our hospitals will exceed $4M very soon.   In addition, we are excited to grow our sales team to support new opportunities and continue growing the the platform across the country.  The niche target demographics and affordable CPM have made our platform a good buy.

Ballad Health Recommends Innovare

Innovare Charging Solutions are a Hit with Patient Experience

“Patients and their family members have at least one thing in common – they want to know you CARE. In my role I typically hear from patients or their loved ones when there is a concern. However, with the pandemic, I have also been afforded the opportunity to welcome family

members as they come to visit and wish patients well as they exit after discharge. Being able to meet people in these capacities has helped me realize how much we take CONNECTIONS for granted.”

“A common request from patients and visitors is to have access to a charger that fits their specific device. Until recently, our facility did not have this resource. One of the most sad scenes, to me, is when a patient is discharged with nothing more than their patient belonging bag and a cell phone that contains all of their contacts’ numbers, yet they cannot access them because the battery needs charging. Now, when someone asks for a phone charger, I can proudly say “YES, we would be happy for you to use our Innovare charging station located in the cafeteria!” Offering a food voucher is an added bonus so they can have a snack or drink while they wait. With this resource, we are able to show we understand how important CONNECTIONS are and we CARE about you.”
