New WellSpan Well at Work Programs Enhance Care and Reduce Costs for Employers and Consumers
August 05 2024 - 12:08PM
WellSpan’s Well at Work program, which is designed for employers
who want to offer access to healthcare for their employees, has
launched two new programs that will enhance care for consumers
across central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland while reducing
costs.
“We’re committed to providing our employer clients with a suite
of services in Well at Work that are easy to use and are equipped
to evolve as their workforce needs evolve,” said Jim Stuccio,
senior vice president of WellSpan Health’s East Region. “The new
features allow us to provide a customizable and affordable solution
that keeps care convenient, and with local providers employees know
and trust.”Through a partnership with Tendo Care Connect,
WellSpan’s 600+ employer customer base will now have access to
predictable, all-inclusive pricing so they can offer their
employees affordable, high-quality care through the Well at Work
Bundle Program. Tendo’s Care Connect platform bundles services
offered, providing employers the ability to plan and manage
healthcare expenses accurately, enhancing employee satisfaction and
retention through high-value healthcare benefits. The program
encourages timely medical treatments, minimizing deferred care.
Employers who opt into this program can save up to 50% on medical
procedures, with the added benefit of no copays or deductibles for
their employees."Tendo is excited to work with WellSpan and amplify
their Well at Work Bundle Program by bringing intuitive and
innovative technology to the forefront of employee healthcare,"
said Charlie Byrge, senior vice president of revenue. "Our Care
Connect platform is designed to simplify the healthcare process,
making it easier for employers to manage costs and for employees to
access the care they need."WellSpan is also increasing access to
virtual care for Well at Work clients, launching Well at Work
Direct Connect to provide patients unlimited 24/7 access to a
WellSpan primary care provider, also with no copay or deductible
required. Patients and caregivers work as a team, with the
physician as the coach. Added benefits include preventative
screenings at no cost to patients, such as mammography and at-home
colon cancer screenings, wellness coaching and a wellness portal to
keep patients happy and healthy.“Patients want to be able to manage
their healthcare and see a provider at a time and place that works
for them, and this service allows for a quick patient visit through
a smartphone, instead of needing to take valuable time off of work
to go to an appointment,” added Stuccio.These new offerings
underscore WellSpan’s commitment to leveraging its unique position
and capabilities to benefit the communities it serves. By removing
intermediaries and dealing directly with employers, WellSpan is
able to offer more financially advantageous healthcare options.The
WellSpan Well at Work program, established in 1992, provides
employers large and small with medical benefits that extend
physical and emotional health support through a variety of
features, including occupational health, employee assistance
programs, and other resources for employees.To learn more about
