Self-Funded Employers Can Ask Alfie About Health Planning Strategies and Employee Wellness

Med-Vision Recruits Animated Character to Help Employers Make Better Decisions About Health Plan Risk Management

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ready to start improving the quality of employee healthcare while simultaneously saving money? Med-Vision, LLC, a data-driven health and risk management strategy firm, is proud to offer self-funded employers a delightfully humorous, animated piece on how to regain control of healthcare costs: Ask Alfie About Med-Vision.

“Entertaining prospects with the Alfie character will differentiate Med-Vision’s services and will enhance my efforts in spreading awareness about the analytical tools and customized strategies Med-Vision provides self-insured employers”

Med-Vision has garnered the support of the animated character named “Alfie,” voiced by Jefferson C. Knott, author and national healthcare policy analyst. Knott, in conjunction with the production talents of Full Throttle Intermedia studio, created Alfie to be the comically witty voice for American healthcare consumers.

Donning a British accent, Alfie’s topics range from how to read prescription labels to asking for a second opinion on medical diagnoses. Alfie’s latest episode discusses his new job at Med-Vision and explains how Med-Vision’s experts help corporations to be more profitable through risk management and employee wellness.

“It makes sense for Alfie to support Med-Vision’s efforts to maximize corporate efficiency through employee wellness and better employee benefits planning,” said Knott. “We’re working to provide expert tips that can create meaningful improvements in organizations as well as in our health system.”

Med-Vision’s client relations team will be using the light-hearted animated character to explain details of Med-Vision’s services, including data-driven health planning, risk management, disease management, prescription drug compliance, and wellness programs.

Luke Ewalt, who was named head of business development for Med-Vision in July, stated he will be introducing Alfie as his “animated associate” during client meetings.

“Entertaining prospects with the Alfie character will differentiate Med-Vision’s services and will enhance my efforts in spreading awareness about the analytical tools and customized strategies Med-Vision provides self-insured employers,” said Ewalt.

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