STUDY OVERVIEW

Go365 The study examined the value of wellness programs examined the value of wellness programs contributing to cost savings and happiness of long-term participants. They reviewed healthcare claims and utilization trends from approximately 135,000 fully insured employees continuously enrolled in both a Humana medical plan and Go365 wellness and rewards program over four plan years. This revealed that employees who are highly engaged in wellness programs long-term are inclined to have lower healthcare costs and report being satisfied with their health.

HOW HIGH-ENGAGED MEMBERS COMPARE TO LOW-ENGAGED MEMBERS

High-engaged members (Platinum/Gold Status) experienced an average of 24 percent lower claims costs, compared to low-engaged members (Blue/Bronze Status).
In large groups with 100+ associates, high-engaged members saved an average of $118 in healthcare claims per member per month, relative to low-engaged members.
High-engaged large group members had 2 percent more preventative care physician visits and lowered emergency room visits by 32 percent, compared to low-engaged members.
High-engaged members rated their overall health satisfaction as good to excellent, 5 percent more than low-engaged employees.

BOTTOM LINE

The results of the Go365 Fully Insured Outcomes Study found that consistent dedication and member engagement in Go365 can result in a significant reduction in healthcare claims. As the Go365 member’s Status threshold stepped up, claims savings increased proportionately.
