Disease Management and Wellness: A Foundation for Cost Management (ET10)

Plan sponsors are fighting a losing battle against rising medical costs and must tackle the root causes of high costs, including unhealthy lifestyles and chronic illness. Cost shifting to employees is not the answer, but health management programs, such as disease management and wellness, offer a solid foundation for cost management.

Learn how:

• Well-designed and executed health management programs can reduce annual trends by up to 50%.
• Health status plays a crucial role in worker productivity.
• Integrated health and productivity programs, encompassing medical and drug plans, absence, disability, and workers’ compensation, can yield high return on investment (ROI).
• Value-based plan design, using evidence-based medicine, is gaining popularity.
• Data analytics can pinpoint opportunities and evaluate interventions over time.

This proactive presentation will provide new cost-management ideas followed by a stimulating pre-recorded question and answer period.
