Reduce Your Healthcare Costs - Join a Company with a Worksite Wellness Program

Company-sponsored wellness programs can return $3 or more for each $1 invested. Let's take this a quantum leap further and show how you can recoup as much as 50% on your direct healthcare costs, as well as obtain wellness programs' dramatic ROIs. Saving substantially on direct healthcare costs is possible for companies with one employee and companies with thousands of employees. It is straightforward, but takes some work.

Background

Health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket: from 20% to more than 100%, reflecting the high costs of the covered services. As such, a full 50% of business profits go to paying for healthcare costs versus only 7% 30 years ago.



A survey by ComPsych Corporation showed that 63% of workers surveyed say they have "high levels of stress, with extreme fatigue and feeling out of control," which is up 15 % from six months earlier. Why? Because of the heavy workload caused by business expansion after downsizing or new fears of downsizing.

Paul Zane Pilzer, master economist and author of The Wellness Revolution, noticed how unhealthy his general lecture audience was in 1996 (and still is), but how his wealthy crowd was getting fitter and healthier each year.

Discovering both the need and the opportunity, the well-to-do have discovered that wealth is not much without health. Thinking about that further, better health can lead to wealth.

We know that complementary healthcare services—such as acupuncture, chiropractic services, massage therapies, naturopathy and yoga—are excellent for most chronic and many acute conditions. They are also much less expensive when compared to conventional medical services.

Based on decades of studies and successful worksite wellness programs, greater understanding of complementary healthcare, higher availability of sophisticated health coaching, and advanced information systems, combining compatible and cross-supporting systems are now the key to maximum and long-term healthcare cost reductions.
