Consider new approaches to address your heaviest claimants

The answer to higher healthcare spending isn't just about raising deductibles. This complicated issue involves looking at different solutions and investigating what is causing a rise in claims. Read on for a few strategies.   

A recent study found 84% of healthcare spending can be attributed to just 20% of users.  Many of these users have multiple chronic conditions, like diabetes and hypertension, and are are trying to manage primary physician visits, costs of prescriptions, and labs. But just raising deductibles, like 39% of businesses surveyed planned to do, doesn't address these people who are consistently reaching their deductible every year and need help managing their care. 

That's where programs like Condition Management come in. By closing gaps in care, you can proactively help these users manage their health and reduce costs for both you and the employee. Our team of trained medical staff delivers a personalized experience for each member, while our data-driven technology makes it easier for the user to manage their condition.
