Value-Based Health Plans focus on improving health by increasing patient access to necessary supplies (like medications) and services (like screenings).  While this is a great concept in theory, it can easily fall short of its goal when put into practice.  This is because it is often hard to tell whether or not the plan is actually effective in producing improved health outcomes.   

Abacus has developed programs to address and track the desired goals of Value-Based Benefit Plan Designs.  Our programs motivate members to utilize necessary services to improve and maintain their health.  But we go beyond traditional value-based plan design to reward specific behaviors.  This concept, which we refer to as Behavior-based Plan Design, is at the core of all our programs.  Abacus initiatives are focused on behavior.  We encourage and reward specific actions to improve health and manage chronic conditions.  In addition, we provide you with quantitative measurement and monitoring services to help you determine how effective your plan design really is.  Abacus can help you design a plan based on value that is specific to the needs of your unique members.  More importantly, however, we can help you manage that plan.  We have developed specific programs that tie plan design to behavior, ensuring that our clients get the greatest value possible.

Abacus strives to work with each employer to develop a program that will best benefit them and their unique population.  Many employers look for broad wellness programs, and others focus on high cost chronic conditions, like diabetes, but whatever your needs and goals, Abacus is able to customize a solution for you.  For more information about any of our programs and services, please Contact Us.
