When was the last time an employee cried over their healthcare plan-- for a good reason?This is a note we received from an HR Director:“I just wanted to share with you the reaction I received when I provided Cheryl the news about her prescription…. She was in TEARS. She has been paying $70/month for this medication and could not afford it, so she has been breaking them in half to try and make them last! Which is NOT a good thing – she said her heart Dr. told her she can absolutely NOT do that. Cheryl’s ability to get her prescription for $5/month is a blessing.”So THANK YOU for what you guys do! It really makes a difference!Cheryl’s overpayment led to prescription non-compliance that could lead to complications with her health condition and additional healthcare spending—for her and her employer. Fixing the problem did not require turning a health plan upside down. In this case, we offered Cheryl the opportunity to share information that allowed us to help her with no employer involvement required.This is one example of how we build employer healthcare plans to maintain or improve employee health at the best possible cost. It’s even possible to reduce a company’s healthcare costs by 30% and then expect no annual renewal increases.While this sounds like Mission Impossible, it is not. Correct the inefficiencies and stop the excessive spending that ALREADY exist in your current health care plan and you are there. Heroics are not needed. But to achieve this, you have to make a decision to do something.You have a choice:1.
