Proactive vision care has been linked to early detection of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. However, a new study from HCMS Group finds that stand-alone vision benefits can equate to nearly $100,000 in health care cost savings for large employers over a four-year span.
The health information data analytics and clinical prevention services company combed through data from more 120,000 enrolled employees and spouses from six large commercial clients. It found that savings per employee and savings per 1,000 employees over the studys four-year period amounted to a hefty nest egg for employers.
