Making medical and disability benefit plans more manageable

Article Abstract:

Effective managed care health systems must be able to offer a set of checks and balances while inspiring employees not only into acting in the firm's best interest but in their own best interests as well. To reduce the complexity of making routine decisions about employees' health coverage, six principles need to be pursued, including choosing clear coverage criteria, defining health outcomes via functional status, offering meaningful incentives to achieve health outcomes, and advocating for therapeutic jurisprudence. Meanwhile, beneficiaries and supervisors must be empowered into managing resources efficiently even as employees must be taught about health care benefits management to make these benefit plans more manageable.

Article Abstract:

Employer involvement can equitably address patient needs and reasonable costs.
