•  Most users do not access the website –  “I didn’t look at it online, I didn’t need to, I thought that’s

what my provider was doing”

•  Provider engagement is very important –  “If I forget to send it in, after a couple of weeks, she calls

me.” –  “I stopped using it for my reasons, but no one ever called

and asked why I stopped so I never pursued it”
