Intercare Helps Employers Learn How to Achieve Lower Health Care Costs While Improving Productivity

Company Hosts Seminar Focused on Unique Approach to Health Benefits Planning That Delivers ROI of 5:1

Intercare Insurance Solutions, a leader in innovative benefits consulting and services, today announced it hosted a breakfast seminar where employers learned about a unique approach to health benefits planning that delivers an ROI on health care dollars of approximately 5:1. David Hom, vice president of strategic initiatives for Pitney Bowes Inc., was the featured speaker at the invitation-only event. Hom’s presentation, Employer Investment in Health – An Emerging Strategy for Additional Stakeholders, focused on the most critical success factors of Pitney Bowes’ groundbreaking and innovative health benefits program.

“Employers of all sizes continue to face increasing employee health benefit costs and we believe that the Pitney Bowes’ approach to health benefits planning can help them meet this challenge head on,” said Mike Barone, president for Intercare. “We‘re thrilled we were able to offer this seminar to local employers so they could hear more about how one well-respected company is successfully managing health care costs while improving workforce productivity,” Barone continued. “This is just one of many ways we work with employers to help them design and implement health benefits programs that will support their financial and human resource goals.”

Today’s event was held at Ruth’s Chris in Del Mar, California and drew more than 70 employers from San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties. Attendees included human resources, benefits and finance executives as well as company presidents and CEOs from several prominent local companies. These employers collectively provide health care benefits for approximately 25,000 employees in and around San Diego. With the knowledge gained through this presentation, these individuals are more likely to be able to replicate the Pitney Bowes program and successful outcomes in their own organizations.

“Some of today’s most popular cost control strategies may actually be counter-productive to an organization’s efforts to managing health costs and productivity,” said Hom. “At Pitney Bowes, our value-based benefits design program is part of the culture of health we have created for our employees and their families,” said Hom. “By focusing on health and wellness vs. health care, we are saving lives, saving money, and creating value. We applaud Intercare for hosting this seminar and supporting opportunities where employers can learn from one another.”
