Health and Wellness

Avidyn Health

It’s logical—you save more money if you never spend it. The same applies to your health and that of your employees. If you knew you were at a high risk for developing a serious condition, you’d take steps to avoid it. If you could impact the health of your employees before they get sick, you would.

The Health and Wellness program from Avidyn Health helps you identify employees at risk for chronic disease. We target those high-risk employees and engage them to adopt healthier lifestyles.

In the first year of implementing our program, clients have seen positive changes among participants, increased exercise, improved diets and less depression.

If you have a stable employee base, we can significantly impact future rises in claim costs. If you have offered wellness programs or incentives before but have been unimpressed with their impact, we will show you objective data to support our programming. If you want to reward employees for good health behavior, we will track compliance with your incentive targets.

And we do it in a way that is enjoyable for your employees while placing accountability upon them.

Here’s how it works:
Our data shows that less than 10 percent of your employees incur 80 percent of your claims. Of claims over $10,000, our data shows 60 percent have preventable or modifiable components. By stratifying risk, Avidyn Health matches interventions to risk level and employee interest to change. All participating employees receive personalized health information through mail and Web applications.

What Makes Us Unique?

  • Information and counseling is geared to participant need, interest and cultural background
  • Interventions are delivered through one-on-one phone calls with qualified health staff at times convenient to the employee
  • Well-At-Work Targets (objective health indices) communicate your program expectations, resulting in high participation rates for program assessment and interventions
  • All major chronic disease conditions are addressed, using expert health specialists with appropriate backgrounds
  • Complete confidentiality—contact is only between participants and Avidyn Health staff

Savings are significant if implementation is proper—data from well-established population health management programs confirm that:

  • People with obesity incur 21 percent more claim costs than non-obese
  • People with high blood sugar incur 35 percent more claims than those within normal range
  • People with persistent depression incur 70 percent more expenditures than those who are not depressed
  • People with hypertension incur 12 percent more claims than those without
  • Uncontrolled stress leads to 45 percent higher claims than populations with managed stress levels

Incentives
Changing health behaviors takes time and effort, especially for those employees with significant risk. Employers can attain large savings through incentives for employees to take charge of their own health. Reducing barriers, such as co-pays and deductibles and offering appropriate financial reward maximizes employee interest and commitment.
