| If you could pass on this link as well, from Healthiest You(HY) - who provides groups with a cutting edge App which simplifies healthcare and simultaneously drives users towards less expensive care and medicine without limiting access to health coverage. This link gives you a good overview https://partner.healthiestyou.com/view/l.aspx?id=5665b764c75dbb14e8889969 |
| HY is a great paradigm busting app that will probably drivesavings to your members as well as the system faster, but Abacus is still a great long term program! |

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.
Rising healthcare 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 their clinical guidelines.
· ADA estimates that a person with Diabetes uses $13,700 in services per year
· Even if the diabetic population consists 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 the use of insurance company medical spending data.
Abacus is a trusted 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 programs focus 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 just one sample of a large employer client (manufacturer in OH) who we worked with to support their members with diabetes.
