Healthcare benefits are one of the most expensive employee costs. TeleMed2U can be a valuable partner in helping employees improve their health. And, healthier employees are more productive, safer, and have higher morale, better teamwork, and better attendance. For employers, it means lower costs for health benefits, workers’ compensation and disability management.
Most of an employer’s costs for employee healthcare are generated by just a few employees. On average, about 5% of employees generate more than half of health claims. Employees who have complex illnesses or chronic diseases/conditions generate the highest costs. Without regular follow-up with a healthcare provider or medical specialist, these illnesses can take a toll on attendance and productivity. Although everyone benefits from good health, by improving the health of your most health-impaired employees, healthcare costs decrease.
Disease management programs, such as those available through TeleMed2U’s unique digital technology, focus specialty care on employees who have a chronic disease(s). Poor disease management drives up your costs. Healthcare is complex and includes delays in seeing the appropriate specialist, and delays with paperwork, miscommunication, patient-compliance issues, and bad referrals. Delays in care increase risk of costly complications. By working with these high-cost employees to become healthier, employers can enjoy real savings.
Clinical research has documented the strong correlation between specialty care access and improved chronic disease management. The Society of Human Resource Management says that improving disease management programs can save $3.80 for every $1.00 spent by employers.
Driven by the covid-19 pandemic, and the ease and comfort of treatment, all types of patients have quickly embraced telemedicine. Beyond primary and emergency department treatment, one of telemedicine’s most successful uses is specialty medical care. This is the focus of TeleMed2U’s unique telemedicine programs.
