There are many, many different types of medical ailment mailing lists available today. The biggest challenge with these lists is that the people who could benefit from them the most are not aware that they exist.
Where do these lists come from? This data is self-reported information so HIPAA regulations are not an issue. The information is typically collected via surveys at Health Fairs.
Exactly what types of lists are available? There are literally hundreds of lists available, but here are a few of the most commonly requested: Arthritis, Asthma, Back Pain, Bladder Control, Blindness/Visual Impairment, Cardiovascular Disease, Chronic Bronchitis, Diabetes Type 2, Dry Eyes, Hearing difficulty, Heartburn, Hemorrhoids, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Insomnia, Lactose Intolerance, Migraines, Morbid Obesity, Osteoporosis, Pain, Respiratory Ailments & Snoring. Sorry, there is no Swine Flu medical ailment mailing list available at this time.
What sort of restrictions are there associated with using these lists? Typically, before the list can be released, a sample of the mailing piece being used needs to be provided to the entity that compiled the list so they can verify that the mailing piece is not inappropriate or in poor taste. This is sensitive information and it’s important to maintain the integrity of the lists.
How do these lists save money? Medical ailment lists reach medical prospects with pinpoint accuracy. Because of the highly specific nature of the lists, they are typically a fraction of the size of a less focused geography or age-based list. A smaller list means much smaller costs associated with printing and postage. Additionally, a more targeted list almost always results in a substantially high response rate.
Who can benefit from using these lists? Medical specialists are an obvious choice; these lists can be used to attract new patients or for doctors who are conducting clinical trials of medications or other types of clinical research. Other examples include assisted living facilities and those who make or distribute durable medical equipment.
