Reduce Healthcare Costs With Workplace Healthcare Events

Organizations of all sizes have seen their health insurance costs rise over the past decade. The 2022 Kaiser Family Foundation Employer Health Benefits Survey showed that premiums for individual coverage rose 58 percent from 2010 to 2022, and family coverage premiums increased more than 63 percent in the same period. Employers are increasingly looking for new ways to support employee health while also minimizing insurance costs.

One driver of costs to employers is the prevalence of chronic but preventable health conditions. The CDC notes that angina pectoris (chest pain), high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart attacks are among the costliest conditions for US employers. Not only do those conditions push up health care expenses, but they also reduce workplace productivity. Health issues related to high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity cost US employers $36.4 billion a year due to missed days of work.

Preventative Care in the Workplace Leads to Risk Mitigation

Annual physicals that include bloodwork, blood pressure checks, and other biometric assessments can identify risk factors for many chronic conditions and allow individuals to make positive changes. Unfortunately, many people skip these exams due to lack of time or lack of convenient access to care.

Employers can increase access to and uptake of preventive healthcare by offering workplace health screenings. Screening events give workers convenient access to preventive care without driving up the number of insurance claims for doctor visits. Moreover, preventive services can detect health issues early and reduce the need for more complex care in the future.
