Common Business Problems Related to Healthcare

Employers are bearing the increased costs of employing an aging or older workforce.

How MedAdvocate can help.

By contracting with MedAdvocate, you can help all of your employees, young and old, become empowered and enthusiastic about disease prevention. For those employees who already have health issues, MedAdvocate can educate them on how to best manage those existing issues so they can feel better and be more productive despite their disease state. For those employees who are currently healthy, MedAdvocate and help you keep them that way through wellness education programs.

Sky-rocketing health insurance costs are forcing employers to cut benefits, which could result in costly employee turnover as employees seek jobs that provide better healthcare benefits.

According to Managed Healthcare Executive, October 1, 2008, the typical return on an employer’s investment in disease state management and preventive care ranges from 1.5 to 1 up to 2 to 1—meaning that for every $1 spent on disease management and prevention, an employer could see a $1.50 to $2.00 return in productivity and/or reduction in absenteeism. In addition, a healthier workforce translates into fewer healthcare claims, and fewer healthcare claims can result in lower healthcare benefit costs.

Employers spend 200% to 300% more on the indirect costs of employees’ poor health than they do on health benefits.

Through MedAdvocate’s customized prevention and screening programs with disease state management, employers could see increased productivity and a reduction in the use of sick days, absenteeism, and early retirement of valued, experienced, and loyal workers. Loss of experienced employees results in additional expenditures for new employee recruitment, hiring, and training.
