Health Literacy Education That Makes Benefits Make Sense

Healthcare 101: Turning Confusion Into Confident Choices

Premiums, deductibles, copays, HSAs, in-network, out-of-pocket maximums. For most employees and students, healthcare vocabulary reads like a foreign language — and confusion has real consequences: skipped care, surprise bills, and benefits that go unused. Stickball's healthcare literacy program changes that. Through interactive, simulation-based learning, we turn dense insurance jargon into clear, relatable decisions people can practice before real money and real health are on the line.

Why Health Literacy Education Matters

When people understand their coverage, they use it. Strong health literacy education leads to:

• Higher benefits enrollment and smarter plan selection
• Fewer surprise medical bills and less financial stress
• Better preventive care and healthier daily habits
• Lower confusion-driven calls to HR and benefits teams

Built for Employee Benefits Education

Stickball's employee benefits education modules let learners walk through realistic scenarios: comparing two plans for a growing family, deciding whether to use an HSA, or estimating the true cost of an ER visit versus urgent care. Because the experience is simulation-based, employees learn by doing — not by skimming a 40-page PDF.

• Interactive simulations that mirror real enrollment and care decisions
• Plain-language explainers for deductibles, copays, networks, and tax-advantaged accounts
• Healthy-choices content connecting daily habits to long-term wellbeing
• Multilingual and accessible delivery so every employee can participate
• Mobile-friendly access with no app to download
