The firm found that traditional fully funded healthcare plans didn’t fit with this culture. It needed solutions that were flexible, easy to use, and didn’t get in the way of employee productivity. Company management wanted their employees to focus on work, not overcoming the barriers (dealing with hard to work with carriers, navigating complicated networks and coverage plans, and more) typically associated with health insurance. The firm looked at partially self-funded insurance alternatives to help them: - Attract top-tier talent through health insurance benefits - Eliminate the number of hours employees waste talking to insurance carriers so they could focus on their jobs - Provide employees with great coverage options EVHC’s flexible partially self-funded plans The firm turned to EVHC, which offers highly customized and flexible partially self-funded insurance plans that allow employees to enjoy unparalleled coverage while providing companies with exceptional insurance benefits. EVHC provided the organization with: - A customizable plan that allows employees to use both in-network and out-of-network providers at little cost - Access to three of the nation’s four largest provider networks - 24/7 concierge-level customer service, including member education programs - Low individual deductibles - Greater price transparency - An easy-to-use HRIS platform for fast access to health insurance information, improving productivity and time savings - Insights into employee wellness across four categories (colorectal cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, flu vaccination, and breast cancer screening) Happier employees—and a competitive advantage The firm is now able to offer new and current employees with no hassle health insurance coverage that fits their culture and employees’ lifestyles. Many of the company’s employees are young, fresh out of college, and working hard at jobs they love. They don’t have time to worry about the hoops a fully funded provider will put them through. Now, they don’t have to. They can focus on being productive, driving business for the company, staying healthy, and enjoying the complimentary video games (and the firm’s many other great perks).
