Employee productivity is directly tied to the health of your workforce. Here are four critical questions you should ask your health plan to maximize your health benefits and improve health, satisfaction, and productivity among employees.
Your health plan is an integral partner in managing your healthcare costs. Here’s how:
At Anthem, we offer all of these resources and more. We are focusing our efforts on expanding value-based care delivery and payment methodologies that focus on quality and outcomes instead of volume, and encouraging greater adoption of digital tools that expand access to care and provide members a more simplified and personalized healthcare experience. Combined, these factors have a significant effect on improving health, lowering costs, and encouraging members to take a more active role in their health.
Many health plans offer both in-person and virtual behavioral healthcare options and encourage members to choose in-network care providers for the lowest out-of-pocket costs. Here is where having access to a comprehensive network with a variety of care options is crucial because treatment that works well for one employee may not work as well for another. At Anthem, we have been working to bring new care providers into our network, including virtual, at-home, outpatient, and residential behavioral health providers to provide more options for care, particularly for specific illnesses or disorders.
Ask your health plan which tools and capabilities it offers to help your employees proactively manage their health. Tools such as remote patient monitoring and telehealth services can help manage chronic conditions, identify gaps in care, and deliver more convenient and cost-effective care. For example, Anthem’s mobile app, Sydney Health, includes a member’s benefits, health records, and care options in one place. Members can, for example, connect with a mental healthcare professional, access a symptom checker, click to chat live about what’s going on with their child’s illness, or track their nutrition intake all via one app.
Keeping your employees engaged in their overall health means a happier, stronger, and more productive workforce. Simplifying the experience for employees and offering member engagement programs and effective digital tools are key to encouraging them to access preventive care. For example, some members may want the convenience of a virtual plan to access care on their own time. Anthem offers Anthem Link Virtual First plans that integrate a digital health platform and virtual care options to give consumers the tools and functionality to be more actively involved in their health. Your health plan is your partner in promoting better health while helping to manage your healthcare dollars and keep care affordable. With nearly 90 years of local experience here in Connecticut and the resources of our national parent company, our team at Anthem can talk with you about how we can support you and your employees through our programs and more.
In good health,
Lou Gianquinto, President,
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut
