In the world of corporate healthcare, traditional insurance plans are making way for more dynamic and cost-effective models. Apex Health is leading this transition, highlighting the advantages of self-funded plans. These plans allow employers to customize healthcare offerings, revolutionizing how they manage costs and improve employee well-being, ultimately benefiting both employees and the company.
The problems with traditional insurance models
Employers have historically been bound to the stringent structures of conventional healthcare plans. Unfortunately, these traditional healthcare plans often don’t address the unique health needs of employees. In these models, the distinct health requirements of employees and the level of care they desire tend to be disregarded. These one-size-fits-all plans lack customization, making it hard to save on healthcare costs.
The benefits of self-funded plans
Self-funded plans offer a different approach, where costs are directly linked to actual healthcare expenses rather than a set premium. Savings from promoting health and preventing illness positively impact the organization’s bottom line. Instead of sharing profits with insurers, these plans focus on smart healthcare expense management. This is where tools like Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Telehealth become crucial.
The Apex Health Advantage
Apex Health’s innovative strategies in a self-funded structure can significantly reduce emergency room visits. With Telehealth, employees get professional medical advice quickly, avoiding unnecessary and costly ER trips. Using data analysis and AI, Apex Health can identify health patterns and prevent issues, reducing the need for urgent care and improving overall employee health. This proactive approach is a cornerstone of self-funded plans, designed to reduce ER visits and elevate the overall state of employee health.
Strategic prescription management
Self-funding can lead to substantial savings (up to 90% for specific brands) on prescription drugs. Apex Health’s tailored prescription sourcing strategies offer cost efficiencies that benefit the company’s finances directly. We bring you strategic prescription management with our specialty drug management program, which includes Manufacturer Assistance Programs (MAP) and the International Pharmacy Program (IPP). This part of our service helps navigate the complexities of pharmaceutical sourcing, ensuring high-quality medications are accessible at much lower costs.
Balancing risk and control
Transitioning to a self-funded model allows companies to use stop-loss insurance to protect against catastrophic events. This insurance covers only the rare, high-cost incidents, while the employer manages day-to-day medical expenses. This setup ensures financial stability while maximizing control over healthcare costs.
