Delta s Healthy Rewards Program Administration Services
Helping You Navigate the Winding Road of Healthcare Reform The crisis is real. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, are steering healthcare costs over the cliff. It is estimated that healthcare costs for chronic disease treatment account for over 75% of health expenditures; an expense shared by employers and employees. These common and extremely costly diseases are often treatable, or completely preventable, when people pursue a healthy lifestyle. Cost Control Delta manages plan cost by encouraging health awareness and individual responsibility.
Administration Services INTRODUCING HEALTHY REWARDS Delta Health Systems has designed a new benefit plan that combines health-conscious programs with the administration needed to produce results. Healthy Rewards emphasizes and rewards impactful consumerism, raises health awareness, and meets the demands of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Key components of the plan are: Programs that provide a clinical benchmark and annual results for each member Care management tools to assist with positive behavior change The first step is an annual health evaluation for plan members. These can be conducted at employer sites or contracted lab facilities. The comprehensive evaluation includes the following: 34-36 blood panel Blood pressure test Abbreviated health risk assessment Participants receive a concise, easy-to-understand health report that outlines evaluation results, reviews potential health problems, and lists personalized strategies that promote better long-term health. Delta handles the administration of Healthy Rewards in conjunction with the client and broker. Delta will: Schedule, promote, and market the evaluations to plan members. Provide a participant report to the client within two weeks of the evaluation period s closure during year one. Provide a participant report within four weeks in year two and beyond.
Important Elements of Healthy Rewards PERSONAL HEALTH SCORE Participants receive a Personal Health Score that is calculated based on: Blood Pressure Glucose Tobacco Use LDL Cholesterol Triglycerides HIPAA- COMPLIANT GOALS The member s Personal Health Score is used to produce a 12-month, HIPAA-compliant personal health goal. The goal can be achieved through a combination of direct physician supervision and lifestyle changes. By meeting or exceeding goals, participants can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other conditions. CUSTOMIZABLE PROGRAMS Clients have the option to customize their own program with additional compliance levels, including: Mandatory care management engagement programs for at-risk members Preventive care compliance for all plan members over 18 years of age, including annual screenings and other clinical tests Customization also includes compliance for specific conditions that utilize evidence-based guidelines. For example, specific guidelines for diabetics include: Eye exam in last 12 months HbA1c test in last 12 months LDL test in last 12 months (18 75 yrs. old) (HEDIS) Lipid profile in last 12 months Influenza immunization Healthy Rewards incents members to participate by reducing their contribution levels up to 30% of the benefit value.
