TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIIQ), a leading cloud-based technology platform and distributor of affordable individual and family health insurance and supplemental plans, today announced that it will host an Analyst and Investor Day on Thursday, December 13, 2018 in New York City from 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

Members of the senior management team will join HIIQ President and CEO, Gavin Southwell, and CFO, Michael Hershberger, for the half day program which will feature key industry insights, as well as the company’s vision and strategy; including new products, new partners, a regulatory update, and an insight into open enrollment performance.

The Open Enrollment Period has been upon us for over two weeks, and the Trump administration recently reported that demand is down about 20% on Healthcare.gov, from last year.  Meanwhile President and CEO Gavin Southwell observed, “This year, the average age of our members enrolling on our straight to consumer site Agilehealthinsurance.com, decreased to a year younger than our average last year (from 39 to 38), suggesting that young people increasingly understand the need to be insured.”  Millennials have had a higher uninsured rate than most other demographic groups, so improvement there is an overall positive.
