Our solutions help deliver unique benefits to your business.

  • Our programs have been shown to reduce medical cost trend by 1-3% per year, using an actuarial measurement methodology based on the principles of the Disease Management Association of America (DMAA) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA). The program has additionally reduced hospitalizations by 24% in a population with chronic disease, and reduced surgeries appropriately for coached individuals. Research shows that the Shared Decision-Making® approach can reduce surgeries appropriately by as much as 20-40%1.   
  • We go beyond disease management to deliver a single, integrated care management program that simplifies administration and streamlines individual interaction with the healthcare system. This simplification can improve both manager and employee satisfaction.
  • Our whole person approach supports members across a broad spectrum of healthcare needs. By providing a service that is offered to all employees and their dependents, we deliver a total population solution that meets the needs of your organization and its employees.
  • Our member-centric program is based on a Shared Decision-Making® approach, developed by the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making, which was established by Drs. John Wennberg and Albert Mulley, Jr.
  • Our products and services are based on more than 30 years of objective, peer-reviewed research by Drs. John and David Wennberg and their colleagues on unwarranted variation in healthcare, which focuses on the overuse, underuse, and misuse of healthcare services.
  • Individuals get 24/7 access to specially trained Health Coaches; independent surveys show over 97% of coached individuals would recommend the program2.
