Overview
Employee healthcare benefits are becoming very complex. Many companies face the challenge of offering competitive medical benefits that encourage a healthy lifestyle while trying to contain costs.
Patient Advocates is redefining health care by helping employers foster a culture of wellness while empowering plan participants to make decisions based on their best value, just like they do in other areas of their lives. Put simply, we empower employers and plan participants to make decisions based on better care while reducing unnecessary spending.
Crafting the Right Plan
Most insurers provide off-the-shelf options that are easy for them to market but are not the best fit for all companies.
At Patient Advocates, we take a different approach. We recognize that every employer and its employees have their own needs, and our experienced team works to tailor health plans to reflect the demands and opportunities of individual organizations.
Patient Advocates will work closely with your group to design a health plan that meets your strategic financial goals, while providing optimal health care choices for plan participants. By offering incentives to use both centers of medical excellence and preventive care while managing chronic conditions, your health plan will outperform that of your competitors from a cost-containment standpoint while empowering your plan participants to make informed health care decisions.
Efficient Benefits Administration
Employers often can save significant amounts of money and run more effective health care plans by self-insuring their health plan.
To make this option work, however, the organization needs a partner who understands the complexities, pitfalls, and opportunities that characterize today’s health care system.

Because Patient Advocates both administers plans and provides wellness services, we have the unique ability to determine a return on investment for that program. These reports show you how quickly your investment in employee wellness starts to pay dividends.
