“When we were originally looking for a partner to help expand our Medicare channels, Connecture’s name quickly rose to the top of the list,” said Britt Travis, Molina Healthcare’s VP of Medicare Sales. “Their industry and regulatory expertise coupled with a unique combination of tech innovation and data-informed marketing strategies made them an ideal partner for Molina.”
