LAS VEGAS — After a 20-year-old employee died of an accidental drug overdose three years ago, GE knew they had to give their employees tools to combat the opioid epidemic.
Diana Han, chief medical officer and global medical director at GE, said the company adjusted its employee benefits to prevent and treat opioid addiction. GE partnered with the insurance company Anthem to roll out new benefits, which included physical therapy and other alternative treatments, Han said during a panel at SourceMedia’s Benefits Forum & Expo last week.
