Incentives = High Participation = High ROI

High participation. The outcomes of a population health management program -- and the return on investment -- depend on it.

Higher participation rates can change unhealthy behaviors and benefit individuals and organizations equally. Consider this statistic: 70 percent of all medical expenses can be avoided through early detection, life style changes and/or medication. IHS has found that this process is greatly enhanced by employers offering an incentive program as part of their efforts to reduce health care costs.

IHS custom designs its programs with a mix of incentives best matched to the sponsor’s business culture and resources to maximize voluntary enrollment and keep participants involved in ongoing health improvement.

IHS' incentive program is simple, requires no additional work from human resources and is fully HIPAA compliant. We guarantee very high employee participation (spouses also if employers choose to include them). Most preventative health programs have less than 40 percent participation. Our program averages above 85 percent with measurable results.

In 2008, the top performing organizations among our 1,200 clients spent on average $1,200 less per employee on annual healthcare costs, and presenteeism rates (employees at work but not performing) were 22 percent lower than non-program participants.

Best of all, we will guarantee that if you choose to use our incentive program, the entire cost of the program will be at no cost to your company.
