Next up is to improve the overall interface from a UI/UX prospective:

Updates:
•  User has ability to change the zip code at any time during the experience
•  Broke service types out of drop down, using visual cues to make each scannable
•  Used a progressive reveal for each “step” in the process
•  Added microanimations to the reveal to guide user to next step
Value/Outcome:
Improvements to usability and accessibility, experience enhancements to increase utilization, optimize mobile UX patterns. The new features included: the ability to change the zip code at any time during the experience, iconography to add visual cues, and a progressive reveal with subtle microanimations for each “step.”
User Testing Member Benefits
Hypothesis: Benefits information is dense and overwhelming. When it is left to the member to take the time and energy to understand all their benefits, and how they need to apply them to their health needs, they are not motivated to do so. Labeling and descriptions are often written in clinical and insurance-driven language, which can make it harder to understand individual benefit value and value to utilization. 
Learning Objective:
 What changes can we make to existing organization and presentation of benefits information, ways to search and browse, and how we surface unused benefits that makes the experience more relevant and actionable
