Health Advocates Align for an Integrated Care Approach

Med-Vision Works with Health and Insurance Experts to Create a Continuum of Care

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Meaningful change in healthcare is no solo-act, according to the risk management and wellness strategists at Med-Vision, LLC, a Tampa firm responsible for employee health strategies for hospitals, businesses, and municipalities.

“Insurance companies, administrators, medical providers, and technologists must work side-by-side to improve employee healthcare”

“We believe in a continuum of care, and we align with healthcare administrators as well as insurance providers to promote quality,” said Connie Gee, vice president of Med-Vision.

Last month, Med-Vision was mentioned in an article in The Self-Insurer, titled “Predictive Modeling, Incentives are Keys to Effective Wellness Programs,” written by Kathleen Sullivan, RD, executive vice president of business development for First Service Administrators, Inc. (FSAI). FSAI is a third-party benefits administrator that collaborates with hospitals and industry experts to reduce employer healthcare costs. Among their solutions to halt a rise in chronic disease, Sullivan points to Med-Vision’s successes with wellness programs, including a 10-12 percent decrease in healthcare costs for a Florida school district.

Both FSAI and Med-Vision utilize HIPAA compliant, best-in-class data analytics technology to analyze claims and find wasted money in medical and pharmacy expenditures. Direct savings for FSAI and Med-Vision clients range from $10 to $50 per-employee each month, which positions employers for a 0% trend in increased healthcare costs through:

• Actionable strategies to reallocate savings and lower healthcare costs.

• Proactive interventions for employees identified as at-risk.

• Collaborations with insurance and healthcare providers to avoid high-cost claims.

• Customized wellness programs to increase productivity and manage disease.

As a business strategy, wellness creates an opportunity to protect an investment in human capital. To support wellness, many employer plan sponsors are coordinating with case managers and staffing on-site health facilities. This supports the integrated care approach aligning wellness, prescription compliance, disease management, and critical care.

“Insurance companies, administrators, medical providers, and technologists must work side-by-side to improve employee healthcare,” said Dan Ross, president of Med-Vision.

Founded in 2005, Med-Vision delivers healthcare planning, risk management, and wellness consulting to help employer groups achieve optimal employee health and productivity. Med-Vision caters to the needs of self-funded employer plan sponsors and currently impacts more than 75,000 health plan members.
