Health plans strive to prevent illness and improve the health status of their members by designing wellness programs for employers. They offer nutrition and fitness services, weight-loss and control programs, depression management education, complementary check-ups and more. The return on investment from worksite wellness efforts is reported to be at least $3 for every $1 spent. And the return is greater when improved employee morale and productivity is factored in.

Wisconsin health plans reduce variation in health care by, for example, adopting treatment protocols, conducting studies and working with providers on improving care. Nationally, variation in health care results in up to 81,000 deaths and $3.9 billion in avoidable health care costs.

Wisconsin health plans’ collaboration in a diabetes care improvement project established a new standard of care for diabetes management. Treating diabetes consistent with recognized guidelines can reduce costs $691 per patient per year.
