    In this podcast, Kristin Corcoran, a Senior Consultant at The Lewin Group, facilitates a panel discussion with Lola Akintobi, a Consumer and Community Engagement Consultant for the Center for Consumer Engagement in Health Innovation at Community Catalyst, MaCayla Arsenault, a project manager at Central Oregon Health Council, Robyn Rohr, a Manager for Enterprise Consumer Experience at CareSource, Heather Reynolds, an Insight Lead for Enterprise Consumer Experience at CareSource, and Walt Malick, an Enrollee Advisory Committee Member for CareSource. During this discussion, panelists offer strategies and promising practices regarding Enrollee Advisory Committees. Effective 2023, any Medicare Advantage (MA) organization offering one or more Dual-Special Need Plans (D-SNPs) in a state must establish and maintain one or more enrollee advisory committee (EACs). EACs must serve the D-SNPs offered by the MA organization in that state to gather direct input on enrollee experiences. These podcasts, excerpted from a 2022 webinar, provide an overview of the EAC requirements, how health plans have engaged members in EACs, and how EAC members have impacted outcomes and created organizational change. Health plans that have been successfully running EACs share lessons learned and best practices for engaging members in plan governance through EACs, including recruiting and selecting members, collecting enrollee feedback, and disseminating feedback to appropriate departments.
