According to a report from the Urban Institute, primary care offices across the country have seen up to 60-75% decline in volume.
For decades health plans have approached primary care engagement the same way: mass mailings, generic reminder calls, and crossing fingers that members show up.
Wellness visit rates stagnate. Quality measures plateau. And the members who need care most—those facing language barriers, transportation challenges, or digital illiteracy—remain unreached.
The era of one-size-fits-all outreach is over. The future of population health is radically personalized, and the outcomes prove it.
Personalization Isn't a Nice-to-Have—It's the Only Way Forward
Real personalization means meeting members where they are—literally and figuratively. And it means addressing not just what members need to do, but why they haven't and how to remove those barriers.
This is where Agentic AI transforms primary care engagement. Instead of batch-and-blast campaigns Blooming Health’s Care Enablement Workflows use intelligent automation to:
Communicate across 80+ languages and dialects through members' preferred channels—SMS, email, or voice calls
Identify and solve barriers to care in real-time, whether that's coordinating transportation, connecting members with trusted community organizations, or providing digital literacy support for portal activation
Personalize every touchpoint based on member history, preferences, and real-world circumstances
The result? Members don't just receive reminders, they receive pathways to care that actually work.
What Outcomes Look Like When Personalization Scales
Health plans using Blooming Health's Care Enablement Workflows are seeing measurable lifts across the metrics that matter most:
Preventive Care Compliance
Increased completion rates for Annual Wellness Visits, flu shots, colorectal cancer screenings, and mammograms
Higher percentages of members up-to-date on preventive screenings, directly improving HEDIS composite scores
Quality and Revenue Impact
Improved Star ratings through better performance on Medicare COA (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) measures
Enhanced RAF capture as more members complete comprehensive health risk assessments during AWVs
Meaningful revenue gains—even modest increases in AWV completion translate to thousands of dollars per member in risk adjustment and quality bonuses
Cost of Care Reduction
Fewer avoidable emergency department visits as members receive timely preventive care
Lower total cost of care through early intervention and better chronic condition management
Reduced administrative burden as automated workflows handle high-volume, low-complexity outreach
Member Experience
Higher portal activation and insurance card utilization rates
Better PCP alignment and selection, ensuring continuity of care
Improved health literacy and benefits understanding through tailored education campaigns
This approach is particularly powerful for the members traditional outreach misses entirely: those with limited English proficiency, low digital literacy, or complex social needs. These are often the same members driving disproportionate costs and representing the greatest opportunity for RAF capture and quality improvement.
Population Health Requires Personalization at Scale
The future of primary care outreach isn't louder generic messaging. It's smarter, more human-centered engagement powered by AI that actually understands what each member needs.
