Wellness Can Help Lower Your Costs
Health care costs are spiraling out of control. Cost shifting and benefit redesign are NOT your only options. Wellness is the answer. A quality wellness program properly implemented has been proven to effectively:
- Reduce medical costs
- Reduce pharmaceutical claims
- Decrease absenteeism
- Increase employee productivity
- Improve moral
My Wellchoice+ believes the most effective way to lower claims costs is to prevent claims through overall health improvement. Wellness is about preventing high-risk individuals from developing chronic conditions that drive up higher costs. Significant, long-term savings will only occur when member health is actually improved.
A wellness program is a valuable add-on to existing employee benefits. We can help you promote the benefits of this lifestyle behavior modification program to all your employees. A properly implemented wellness program can significantly cut your health care costs as well as build employee satisfaction by showing them their employer cares about their health.
Do you have a wellness program in place? Does the program effectively reduce claims and address the needs of high-risk employees?
