CBIZ WELLNESS SOLUTIONS

MAXIMIZING TTHE HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF YOUR EMPLOYEES Employers continue searching for ways to manage ever-increasing health care costs. Yet one basic fact too often is overlooked in the push to bring down health care spending: The best way to control expenditures is to avoid them in the first place.
CBIZ understands that genuine cost control goes much deeper than plan design, deductible levels or provider networks. Ultimately, its about developing and maintaining healthy employee populations and reducing the health problems that fuel claims and premium increases. Thats why weve created the most comprehensive health and wellness program on the market today. By implementing the CBIZ Wellness Solutions initiative, employers can restrain soaring costs and boost productivity.

Of the consulting firms we have worked with, CBIZ has demonstrated the greatest understanding of the fundamentals of zero trends and has shown the competency to move their clients along the health management continuum into becoming Champion Level companies.

But only CBIZ has moved the concept from theor y to reality by creating the first empirical, systematic approach for addressing the root causes of escalating benefit costs. Tools designed to fully engage employees in the management of their own health are at the heart of the CBIZ approach. percent increase from 2008 and the biggest GDP percentage gain in 50 years. By some estimates, one-third to one-half of all health care spending goes to unnecessary tests, treatments and physician visits. It is little wonder, then, that insurance premiums continue their inexorable rise, climbing an average of nearly 10 percent a year between 1970 and 2005. Regardless of what happens with federal reform efforts, it is clear that genuine cost reduction must begin at the patient and employer level. Only by embracing a new paradigm of prevention and focused, evidencebased inter vention can employers hope to flatten the spending cur ve. With the reasons for wellness so compelling, the issue most employers face is not whether to offer a wellness program but how best to implement it so as to fully engage employees and their dependents in personal wellness. What makes CBIZ the leader in this critical arena? In simplest terms, its our commitment to partnering with employers to develop and deploy a comprehensive approach to wellness, health and productivity. That means pursuing a multistage process to create a program that meets the specific needs of your organization and employees.

CBIZ is ahead of the market in its offering of innovative employee health and productivity solutions and continues to provide industry leadership.

Industry Leadership

Heres How It Works:

n Stage 1 - Organizational Assessment: CBIZ consultants begin with a brief survey to determine the current state of an employers existing health and productivity initiatives. The organizations commitment to pursuing lower health care costs and improving employee health status, the presence of existing health and productivity programs, and previous experiences and benefits all are quantified to create a baseline for future efforts. n Stage 2 - Data Analysis: We next examine a range of data sets, including demographic information, health risk assessments and claims histories, to develop a clear understanding of the factors that may be influencing health care spending. Basically, CBIZ looks at how and where costs are being generated. This detailed review of your current situation allows us to develop a customized strategy. n Stage 3 - Benefit Analysis: Once the data analysis is complete, were able to develop specific, targeted recommendations regarding interventions and the anticipated benefits to the company. This process provides a clear road map for moving forward with the design and implementation of a program that will yield measurable return on investment.

n Stage 4 - Benefit Design: A key component of our health and productivity approach is the development of a value-based benefit design that creates incentives for healthy lifestyle choices and disincentives for nonengagement. The objective is to foster employee stewardship for his or her own health. In conjunction with this process, we analyze existing offerings from multiple vendors to determine the plans and tools that most effectively match the companys needs. n Stage 5 - Implementation: A strategic health and productivity plan is codeveloped with the employer to delineate timelines and educational and communication goals. Components can include biometric screening, chronic disease management, health coaching and a host of other enterprise-wide wellness initiatives designed to encourage employee engagement and reduce unnecessar y expenditures. n Stage 6 - Review and Refinement: Periodic, ongoing reviews of employee health are used to assess progress toward goals and to allow for course corrections as the initiative matures.
