  17. Medical Plan Strategy and Wellness • Affordable Care Act Implications (Cadillac Tax, etc.) • How to Control Medical Costs? • What is the Role of Wellness and Health Promotion? • Assumptions: • Medical plan design drives costs more than any other factor • Wellness programs have limited impact on overall costs • Health and wellness programs are worth doing as an adjunct to future medical plan changes

  23. NBGH Award - 2012

  24. Problems With Wellness Inadequate or Misinformed Science Incentives Often Don’t Work Minimal Cost Savings Behavior Change is Difficult

  25. Wellness is Not Science • Science vs. Program Management • “If you do this, then that will happen” - Richard Feynman • Bad Science = Bad Advice • Screenings – Harms May Outweigh Benefits • Cholesterol – The Lower the Better? • Overdiagnosis

  26. Wellness Checklist – Good Science? Drink 64 oz. Water Every Day Take Multivitamins, Fish Oil, etc. Take a Baby Aspirin Every Day Get a Mammogram (or PSA) Take Lipitor! (Shouldn’t This be in the Water Supply?) Have a Drink of Wine Every Night Get an Annual Physical (and Screening CT Scan) Eat a Low Fat (or Low Carb) Diet

  27. Incentives Often Don’t Work Carrot vs. Stick Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation Can We Pay People To Be Healthy? “Health Insurance” is not Insurance, it is a Payment Plan Most Medical Costs are Paid by “Someone Else”

  28. The Lancet – April 19, 2008 Can you pay people to be healthy? Emma Wilkinson; The Lancet - 19 April 2008 ( Vol. 371, Issue 9621, Pages 1325-1326 ) DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(08)60578-4

  29. Minimal Cost Savings Can Medical Costs be Controlled by Wellness Programs? Impact on Costs Often Unclear ROI Always Problematic Prevention May Actually Increase Medical Costs Wellness Claims Often Not Credible “Best Practices” – Do They Exist?

  30. Behavior Change is Difficult Entitlement Mentality Without Personal Accountability Prevalence of “No Risk Factor” Group is Very Low Obesity Trends Correlate With Growth of Wellness Industry and Poor Dietary Advice Change or Die

  31. What Motivates People to Change? • Role of Leadership • Policies and Legal Mandates • What Everybody Else is Doing • Individual Accountability for Health (Costs) • Bring Back the “Insurance” in Health Insurance • Prochaska’s Stages of Change • Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic • Drive – 3 Elements of Motivation: • Autonomy • Mastery • Purpose

  32. What We Believe Healthy behaviors and preventable risk factors can have a profound impact on health, performance, productivity. Wellness programs are problematic, often underperform, and current approaches may have little to no impact on overall medical costs (but may be worthwhile for other reasons). Behavior change is difficult but can be catalyzed by many factors within the bounds of company culture
