Employee benefits are an important part of recruiting and retaining talent and most plan sponsors offer a range of benefits, including medical, pharmacy, behavioral health, dental, vision, disability and life. A common industry practice has been to offer each of these benefits as a standalone product, but this creates a disconnected picture of the whole person’s health and can lead to gaps in care and delays in diagnosis and treatment.
Recently, however, more employers are rethinking how they can package and integrate their benefits to make them not only more attractive, but work better and keep their employees healthier. Additionally, integration helps by simplifying the consumer experience, while reducing the cost of care.
