Healthcare Consumerism: 3 Things Employees Know & Still Need to Know
Employees have dealt with a LOT over the last year - quarantine, working remotely, virtual school for children, changes to income and health concerns. Tons of adjustments have been made - and some have led to wins that will impact the future of healthcare consumerism.
Today, I'm sharing 3 facts employees now know, and 3 more facts they NEED to know...
1. They need more control of healthcare ?
In the last year, the healthcare consumerism gap was more striking than ever before vs. all other areas of life. Most employees didn’t know where to turn to get remote help from healthcare experts.
2. They love Telehealth ?
Millions of Americans engaged Telehealth for the first time and embraced it. It was safe, fast, and convenient – especially for those with $0 visit fees.
3. They need more help to navigate the system ?
Understanding their benefits and insurance, locating healthcare options, coordinating care, and sifting through medical bills is still an unbearable headache.
What employees need to know...
1. Advocacy experts will do the heavy lifting ?
Dedicated Health Pros simplify the healthcare journey by…
✅ finding QUALITY doctors, facilities and surgeons
✅ providing price comparisons BEFORE procedures
✅ reviewing and NEGOTIATING medical bills & more
Plus, it’s all customized to their specific insurance plan, needs, and preferences.
2. Telehealth will help BIG TIME ?
Just as employees are getting used to using it, most plans are reverting to co-pays. freshbenies is the best place for Telehealth: $0 visit fee, agnostic to the ever-changing carrier plans, and an engagement system that drives high usage. And our newest packages include much-needed Behavioral Telehealth.
3. freshbenies is home base ?
