The Challenge
A San Antonio school district with just over 2,000 employees was struggling under the weight of the rising cost of medical claims by their insured employees.
The Solution
We developed a custom-branded wellness program for the school district. Wellness programs, when developed with the organization and their employees in mind, can lead to a healthier workforce, which can reduce medical claims. The school district’s custom-developed wellness program included:
- Biometric Screenings
- Flu-Shot Clinics
- A Mammography Bus
- 5K Run/Walk
- Health Fair
- Disease Management
- On-site Health Coaching
The Results
The school district experienced a significant reduction in claims expenses over four years. When they began working with us in 2016, their claims expenses were over $12 million. In 2020, they dropped to right under $8 million. Likewise, their loss ratio dropped from 129.3% in 2016 to 89.3% in 2020.
- $4.4 million decrease in claims expenses over a 4-year period
- A 40% improvement in loss ratio over a 4-year period
