Hello,

I used this outreach method twice. The first time I used our printing business who purchases mailing list through the post office is one of our five counties. The printers used their bulk rate postage (as someone who was a rural carrier for the post office, I know that bulk mail is not returned to the sender if the resident is no longer at that address). I forgot that important piece of information when we ran the first mailing. I was surprised that no mail was returned.

The second time, I inquired about undelivered mail. Remembered the bulk mail return process and asked that the mail be stamped first class so I could monitor successful mail delivery.

This is what was returned. My experience is that is was not worth the cost.

Thanks

Pam

MIPPA listserv member,

Good morning!

We have received an inquiry from a fellow grantee asking if any programs had experience using mailing address information from a private company to try and reach out to Medicare beneficiaries? If your program has used private mailing lists, please respond to me or the list serv describing how your program used the list and your opinion if it was worth the cost.

To start the information sharing, know that the county SHIP/MIPPA program I worked with in Maryland, routinely purchased a private mailing list of individuals turning 65 in the county and sent out birthday post cards inviting the recipient to upcoming turning 65 webinars. Looking forward to hearing from the network.
