Members with complex health needs face major healthcare challenges
For most employers, 20% of their members with complex and chronic conditions drive 80% of healthcare costs. Many physicians lack the expertise to properly diagnose or treat members, leading to increased costs, risk of complications, and worse outcomes. Expert Medical Opinions guide them to high-quality care in a system rife with obstacles.
The costs of unnecessary medical care
On average, it’s estimated that 20-30% of overall medical care is not needed, including:
25% of tests |
22% of prescriptions |
11% of procedures |
For companies with self-funded healthcare plans, this directly affects their bottom line. The costs spill over into lost employee productivity and increased internal administration.
