Hispanics have the highest uninsured rates of any racial or ethnic group within the United States. One in five Hispanics under the age of 65 report having no health insurance coverage. Nearly 10% of Hispanic children are uninsured.
A convergence of social factors contribute to this disparity, but the language barrier plays a singular and significant role. Seventy-two percent of Hispanics speak a language other than English at home; 30% say they’re not fluent in English.
Since most insurers’ websites and digital content are available exclusively in English, many Hispanics struggle to obtain insurance. That means they’re less likely to have had a healthcare visit within the past two years, are more likely to get sick, and are less satisfied with the amount of time spent with their doctors.
But health insurers can quickly turn this around. By translating their websites and member portals for Spanish-speaking residents, they can help close this longtime healthcare gap … and generate dramatic increases in member acquisition and retention in the process.
Five of the nation’s Top 10 health insurers use MotionPoint’s website and digital content translation solution to serve their Spanish-speaking members. They’ve told us our solution is the easiest, fastest and most effective way to connect with this valuable market segment online.
