We can run a medical weight loss program for an employer.

 

Are you looking for ways to reduce your employees' medical claims.  Obesity related diseases include but are not limited to:

 

  • Stroke (avg. cost:  $50,000 per employee)
  • Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease (avg. cost: $3,355 per employee)
  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (avg. cost:  $19,000 per employee)
  • Gout (avg. cost:  $6,571 per employee)
  • Osteoarthritis (avg. knee/hip replacement: $18,000 per employee)
  • Dyslipidemia/Heart Disease (avg. cost:  $39,000 per employee)
  • Gallbladder Disease (avg. cost:  $12,000 per employee)
  • Sleep Apnea (avg. cost:  $6,200)
  • Certain Cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)

Employers understand that having happy, healthier employees leads to less absenteeism but also to lower medical claims.

 

If an employer looks at their high claims cost from a previous year's insurance renewal, how many of the costs were overweight or obesity related.

 

In a 200 employee company, the health care costs are likely in the $2,000,000 per year range.  If by employees losing weight there could have been 5 less obesity related health claims, the employer could have saved between $100,000 to $250,000 in costs.

 

Annual medical insurance renewals are based on the past year’s claims.  Insurance renewal formulas are multiplicative; therefore by lowering the starting net paid claims figure, the savings on next year’s renewal is larger than simply the sum total of claims saved.

Our weight loss programs include a simple online program which focuses on patients' health goals.  The programs give patients the opportunity to make positive changes in their life through a food, exercise and nutrition plan.  Meeting patients demand for a better healthcare solution, our therapeutic lifestyle change programs meet those requirements.
