TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Insurance
Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIIQ) ("HIIQ" or "the Company"), a
leading cloud-based technology platform and distributor of
affordable health insurance, life insurance and supplemental plans,
is expanding its reach to Spanish-speaking consumers with the
launch of a Spanish language option for its MyBenefitsKeeper (MBK)
product.
Currently, there are limited options for Spanish-speaking
consumers to browse health insurance information in their native
language. Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. created its tailored
MBK Spanish language solution with this underserved community in
mind, giving members easy access to important health insurance plan
details.
"Research indicates that 40 to 50% of U.S. Spanish speakers with
limited English proficiency are uninsured," said Jan Dubauskas, HIIQ's Vice President &
Senior Counsel. "The launch of our Spanish language
MyBenefitsKeeper portal reinforces our customer-centric approach
and solidifies our commitment to creating specialized products that
meet the needs of all members we serve."
MBK is a technology resource that works with health insurance
carriers to manage billing and member access to health insurance
policy documents. The MBK online portal streamlines member data,
consolidating everything from benefits to bills and
payments.
The updated toolkit is live in both the Google and Apple stores.
Spanish-speaking consumers, including those shopping select plans
on sites such as AseguMed, can easily access policy renewal and
payment information, among other details, via the MBK
dashboard.
Current policyholders can visit the MyBenefitsKeeper login page
to sign in and select a preferred language to get the most from
their benefits: https://members.mybenefitskeeper.com/.
