Abstract: | For most employers, a small percent of the employee/participant population accounts for a large percent of health care costs. However, the population of this high-cost group changes from year to year. The fundamental problem is keeping employees out of the high-risk/high-cost segment, something plan design changes cannot address but that integrated health risk management (IHRM) can help achieve. This article explains how employers can implement an IHRM program to significantly lower health care costs to a degree unattainable through traditional cost-control strategies, while simultaneously raising workers' productivity and well-being. |
