Innovative Strategies to

Reduce Healthcare Costsand other

Value Added Benefits

Page 2: Presentation   All Benefits 10 10 10

Managing Healthcare Costs

• Employers continue to seek creative solutions to

reduce healthcare costs, decrease absenteeism

and increase productivity

• They have been forced to restructure their

benefit plans, often reducing benefits and raising

deductibles and co-pays

• This leaves some gaps in coverage and more

exposure for employees

• This also leaves some strategic opportunities

Proprietary and Confidential

Page 3: Presentation   All Benefits 10 10 10

Managing Healthcare Costs

• One creative solution that can fill in these gaps

and minimize exposure for employees is the

HealthPerx™ Card, which offers a range of

affordable healthcare benefits.

• These benefits offer the entire family thousands

of dollars in savings.

• At the same time it offers the employer those

creative solutions they seek - reduced

absenteeism, increased productivity and

decreased overall healthcare costs.

Health Care Reform and TeleHealth

Proprietary and Confidential

With over 22 million consumers entering the system,

healthcare demand will be high.

There is already a shortage of primary care

physicians.

The Consequences:

Individuals ignore symptoms and delay

treatment which can lead to more serious medical

complications

Individuals often leave work for minor issues

which results in loss of productivity and

unnecessary costs

Individuals overuse Urgent Care and ERs

TeleHealth can provide immediate access to

healthcare to every individual wherever they are,

whenever they need it, without any added cost.

The most efficient and cost effective method to deliver telemedicine is by phone.

Studies Show

Proprietary and Confidential

Physician telephone consults … have been proven to replace

45%-64% of doctor office visits and 15%-35% of hospital ER

visits. Source: TelaDoc 2007 Survey and Consult A Doctor Survey Results 2010

Costs can be reduced as the healthcare system moves from in-

person physical exams to virtual visits. The average ER visit is

$1024 and primary care office visit is $140. Source: BCBS 2007: Health

Cost Estimator

Patient satisfaction with telemedicine is high…due to

convenience, comfort , privacy…and the security of having 24-

hour access. Source: Us Department of Commerce, Office of Technology

The Challenge: Most telemedicine services require a co-pay.

This represents a significant barrier resulting in low usage

rates.

We have eliminated that barrier.
