Prepaid health

The plan is sold as care. It is lived as authorization, network, and appointment.

Prepaid health is not generic insurance and it is not a hospital. The member bought access to a network. The pain: slow enrollment, “is this doctor in network?”, authorizations by phone, and preventive care that never arrives because the sales CRM does not talk to clinical use.

Prepaid plans Corporate plans Provider networks Individual members

What is worth orchestrating

A member with a plan, providers, authorizations, and appointments. Sales, service, and network operate the same contract. The provider’s clinical system is not replaced; the member stops being treated as a ticket.

Real friction

Where the plan is fought

Prepaid is canceled when the member feels they paid for a fight. That happens in network, authorization, and first use — not in the brochure.

Corporate enrollment vs. real use

HR bought the plan. The employee does not know how to book an appointment or what is covered. The first contact is a complaint.

“Is it in network?” on WhatsApp

The member sends the doctor’s name. Someone looks it up in a spreadsheet. The answer arrives late or wrong.

Authorization as an ordeal

Call, wait, resend the order. In a perceived emergency, that process is the brand.

Preventive care that is not used

Included checkups nobody books. Prepaid pays without the member living it as value.

What to orchestrate first

Use cases that actually retain the member

The most useful: network + appointment. The most critical: authorization with status. The most profitable at 12 months: first-use onboarding.

First-use onboarding

When the plan activates, the member picks a primary-care physician or books the included checkup. Value is felt before the first complaint.

Why it works. Whoever uses the plan in the first 30 days renews differently. It is the cheapest retention journey.

Find a provider and book

Specialty, area, availability. The member books or asks the provider to call. It is not a PDF directory.

Why it works. Resolves 80% of service questions in a useful way, not with an FAQ.

Authorization with visible status

The member or the provider starts the authorization. They see received / in review / issued. A human joins on exceptions.

Why it works. Takes load off a saturated phone and the feeling of abandonment. It is the most “brand” case.

Corporate plans: HR and employee

Adds, drops, and employee questions do not only go through an account executive. The employee has a thread; HR sees the batch.

Why it works. B2B is lost when the end user does not know how to use what the company paid for.

Success case (format)

Prepaid: first use in 30 days

Illustrative journey. Not a named customer. A MEXA case is published with a name when there is a full journey and evidence that can be told honestly.

A prepaid plan stops waiting for the first complaint. Activation opens network, checkup, and an authorizations thread.

  1. Problem

    Plan sold, plan invisible

    New members did not know where to start. The call center filled with “is it covered?” Preventive care was not used.

  2. Strategy

    Activate the value, not just the membership card

    The onboarding journey is an appointment or a provider choice, not a PDF of the network.

  3. Experience

    The member operates the plan on their phone

    They search, book, upload an order. A human joins when the rule is not enough.

  4. Implementation

    Contracts, network, calendar, authorizations

    MEXA orchestrates. The coverage engine and the provider’s HIS stay in place.

  5. Result

    More first use, fewer “how does it work?” calls

    You see complete onboarding vs. early complaint. Corporate HR stops being the plan’s help desk.

Frequently asked questions

Does MEXA authorize procedures?

It does not replace the clinical or coverage engine. It makes the process visible and concentrates the evidence. The decision stays with the prepaid plan.

Does it mix with life or auto insurance?

They can live on the same platform with different journeys. Mixing auto FNOL with a medical authorization in the same bot is a bad experience. That is why this page exists separately.
