Where are your health benefit dollars
going?
You probably know that 80% of healthcare
costs are the result of lifestyle-associated conditions such coronary
heart disease, gall bladder disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, adult-onset-diabetes, bronchial disorders, hypertension,
breast, lung and prostrate cancer, and on-the-job accidents.
Most likely, you also know that companies like Coors, Bank
of America and Travelers have shown that for every
dollar spent on lifestyle management and disease prevention, they
get a $3 - 5 return. Yet, 95% of health benefit expense is devoted
to treating only the effects, and not the cause of these problems.
This is why negative health habits like smoking, poor diet, alcohol
abuse, and stress continue to cost US companies $500 billion
each year. Habits causing symptoms such as healthcare
costs, absenteeism, lost productivity and negative employee morale.
Did you know...?
On average smokers are
absent 7 more days per year.
Overweight employees average
11% higher insurance claims.
Alcohol abuse is the #1
cause of lost productivity.
The challenge facing disease prevention is creating permanent
change.
