Sponsored: The Tools That Help Employees Make the Right Health Care Choices from Embold Health
What your employees don’t know about their doctors could hurt them—and your organization’s bottom line.
But some employers provide their workforce greater visibility into the quality of their health care options so workers can make selections based on objective standards and hard results. Offering tools to share data-driven, actionable insights about the appropriateness, effectiveness, and cost efficiency of available providers enables employees to find high-performing doctors who fit their personal needs and preferences.
When employees have no insight guiding them to high-quality providers, they and their employers pay the price. Receiving subpar or overpriced care can directly harm employees’ health and saddle them with exorbitant medical bills. It also hurts businesses, which lose an estimated $225.8 billion in productivity every year to employees needing medical leave.Employees don’t have to pick physicians the way they pick restaurants.
In 2013, the retail giant founded its Centers of Excellence program to give employees access to top specialists, with treatment and travel covered in most cases. One associate with chronic mild neck pain had seen a doctor who had referred him for surgery at a local clinic. But after the company sent him to a top spine specialist in another state, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, requiring different treatment. The patient avoided unnecessary surgery, and the company saved $30,000.
