Through wellness compliance and early detection of chronic conditions, in 2024 MedBen WellLiving clients spent, on average, 8.4% less than non-WellLiving clients.
Some facts about getting recommended wellness screenings:
- By enabling early detection and treatment of high cholesterol, cholesterol screenings significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
- Colonoscopies may lower the risk of new cases of colorectal cancer by as much as 69% and mortality risk from the disease by 88%.
- The rising use of mammograms in the U.S. has helped to decrease breast cancer mortality risk by 40% since 1990.
- Regular Pap screening decreases the risk of cervix cancer incidence and mortality by at least 80%.
These stats underline that regular screenings are an effective means to help individuals reduce the risk of cancers and other chronic conditions. Likewise, MedBen WellLiving Wellness Compliance is a great tool to help your plan members stay on top of recommended tests and wellness exams.
Available through the MedBen Access online portal and mobile, app Wellness Compliance provides a handy summary of age- and gender-appropriate screenings – what’s been done, what’s coming up, and what’s overdue. The interval between these tests can range from as little as one year (for a wellness exam) to as long as ten years (for a colonoscopy), so it’s not uncommon to forget when the next test is approaching.
The Wellness Compliance feature is available to clients offering MedBen WellLiving. To get more information about adding compliance-based wellness to your plan, contact your broker or call MedBen Marketing.
