Is it possible to invest in your employees while also managing health costs? We say yes, but you don’t have to just take our word for it. This morning, we unveiled a new independent study conducted by Merative Health Insights among 61K Personify Health members – and the results are eye-opening. Engaged participants in our wellbeing program experienced a remarkable 14% decrease in healthcare costs year-over-year compared to industry benchmarks. They also showed lower pharmacy, inpatient, and outpatient costs. This analysis also uncovered the positive effects on overall health behaviors. Employees and spouses engaged in the program showed more favorable utilization patterns, including increased use of preventive services, decreased inpatient care, and improved mental health. With employer-sponsored health insurance costs on the rise, it's crucial for companies to proactively manage expenses while promoting better health. These findings offer hope in managing rising healthcare costs, equipping employers with insights for a healthier and more cost-effective future.
