West Virginia has several affordable health plans available to local residents. In particular, the state mandates that every registered resident have a federally mandated health plan (Evaluation steps, 2021). One such program is TriTerm, a short-term health insurance program that provides coverage for up to 3 years. Evaluating the process of developing and implementing this plan helps to take a deeper look at the sides of the plan. TriTerm is aimed at a broad, solvent audience, and it was designed with stakeholders in mind, whether local communities, legislators, health care providers, or health care providers.
At the same time, the plan presents benefits in use (describes them thoroughly), solves client problems, and saves time. What differs markedly from the framework’s eleven steps is the provision of evidence. More specifically, step four points to the need to gather evidence to support value judgments. TriTerm uses some recommendations, calls to action, and advice that does not have a thorough scientific foundation, that is, are not correctly cited (TriTerm medical insurance FAQs, n.d.). The figure below shows one such example where an over-generalization has no supporting evidence.
In addition, one of the last steps is the need for feedback to adjust the plan and make timely changes. Articles on the official TriTerm website do not have feedback functions: they cannot be commented on or shared. In addition, there is no feedback form, which makes it difficult for stakeholders to interact with each other (Lew, 2018). Thus, this is what creates some disconnect between the framework and the TriTerm health plan for local West Virginia residents.
