Are your employees well?

Have you ever heard the phrase “It’s better to be proactive, then reactive?” I’ve spent a lot of time trying to use this in both my clients and my life. Too often we as people wait till there is a problem before making a concerned effort to fix it. This is the same way our doctors and hospitals treat our patients, they fix the problem once there is one. They say to themselves, “If there’s not a symptom, there’s not a problem”.

Could you imagine if your mechanic told you “Your cars running fine, bring it in to me when it breaks down and I’ll fix it for you”. You would say he’s insane but we do that with our health care everyday. Unfortunately this is how most Medical plans work, “There’s no heart problem till a heart attack”, “No eating problem till there’s diabetes” etc.

This is another place where EMPLOYERS DROP THE BALL.

As a business, you can offer a wellness program to go along with your medical plan to keep your employees healthy and claim free.

Remember the equation: Health claims decrease = Health Insurance Renewals cheaper

You can customize a plan that makes sense for your employees that covers nutrition, smoking, weight loss etc.

Remember, it’s better to be proactive then reactive!
