About Deft Research
The 2017 Medicare Shopping and Switching Study is the first report in Deft Research's annual SENIOR MARKET INSIGHT SERVICE. The research examines the Medicare shopping process as it unfolds over the 8-week Annual Election Period. Data for this year's study was collected in several unique ways including four bi-weekly quantitative diary surveys in which Medicare members were re-contacted in order to track their shopping behaviors over the entire AEP, as well as a post-AEP 'capstone' survey. This research design helped illuminate what consumers did, when they did it, what influenced their decisions, and which past experiences predicted their behaviors. The study results are based on 7,612 online survey responses from seniors between the ages of 66-85.
