| Hello Kellee, | |||||||||||||||
| Thank you for taking my call today. The program I was referring to was is that of Abacus Health Solutions, who provides a proven cost saving Care Optimization Program for employees with Diabetes and high blood pressure among other conditions. The addition of these services will certainly add value to your members by saving “unnecessary” medical expenses. | |||||||||||||||
| Risinghealthcare costs have compelled municipal organizations and large employers to use programs like Abacus has run for the past two decades. Here are a few facts about the background to why diabetes Care Optimization is SO important: |
| ·14% of adult Americans have Diabetes | |||||||||||||||
| ·38% of adult Americans are pre-diabetic | |||||||||||||||
| ·Under 10% of Diabetics following theirclinical guidelines. |
| ·ADA estimates that a person withDiabetes uses $13,700 in services per year |
| ·Even if the diabetic populationconsists of as few as 5-10% of the employee population, they use at least 20-25% of annual medical spending |
| ·Abacus solutions are proven through theuse of insurance company medical spending data. |
| Abacus is atrusted third party organization to help your employees better manage their conditions and save the company money at the same time…without limiting access to services! |
| Abacus programsfocus on high risk plan members to improve their health and lower costs for both the employer and the employee. Abacus interventions drive members to their own Primary Care Physician to prevent and manage chronic conditions and facilitate proper care coordination within the healthcare system. Abacus creates sustainable, clinically appropriate interventions that generate tangible outcomes. |
| Below is justone sample of a large employer client (manufacturer in OH) who we worked with to support their members with diabetes. |
