SBS Medical Management Services
Unlike many healthcare consultants, Strategic Benefit Solutions provides services that actually help clients improve the health of their workforce. We believe a healthy workforce is a sound business strategy, so one of our core offerings is SBS Medical Management Services. The SBS Team employs a team of experts dedicated to supporting our clients, employees, and Plan members, insuring your healthcare benefit costs are calculated correctly.
Workplace Productivity & Wellness Audit - provides an assessment of workplace health risks and the cost of illness on productivity and direct medical costs. SBS will evaluate all options for improving the health and productivity of your workforce, including “free” carrier options, and third party vendors to determine your best solution. Our Medical team has 50+ years of experience working with hundreds of vendors. They are recognized experts in the health and productivity industry and are certified through Disease Management Purchasing Consortium. Listen to our medical director and wellness director weekly on their popular radio show, Good Health Is Good Business-the show focused on a healthy workforce as a competitive advantage (www.healthybusinessradio.com).
Workplace Wellness Implementation - we know, from experience, that successful implementation is the “heavy lifting” of any wellness initiative. SBS has a proven process that can provide the customization required to maximize the potential of any wellness platform chosen. Our full time wellness director helps organize your wellness committee, set agendas, mentors your wellness champion, and oversees the administration and measurement of programs, interventions and activities. Few consultancies get as involved in your health enhancement strategy as SBS.
Productivity Assessment - Using best-in-class calculators from IBI, SBS can do productivity analysis comparting your organization to similar organizations and determine how much absenteeism and lost productivity is actually costing your firm. Wouldn't you like to know the equivalent revenue you'd have to produce to equal a 10%, 30% or 50% improvement in your worker productivity? What does an improvement in productivity equate to as an increase in share price? SBS can tell you.
Member Advocacy – SBS clients have access to an employee advocacy service helping them better navigate the healthcare system. We provide a team of nurses, claim experts, and medical directors that can educate your members on Medicare questions, solve a claim problem, find a nursing home for your out-of-state in-laws, and answer most health related questions . Our goal is to take these burdens off your employee shoulders so they can get back to work.
High Cost Claimant Clinical Review and Consultation – SBS’s Medical Director can evaluate each large claimant and determine the risk of future claim costs. The ability to eliminate “lasering” or to eliminate members from the high cost claimant lists can greatly help with premium negotiation for both the fully insured and negotiations with Stop/Loss carriers. SBS evaluates claimants clinically providing a clinical premium renewal audit insuring your premium is exactly what it should be. Does your present broker do this? If not, you probably are paying a higher premium than necessary. Contact SBS for more information.
