Health Management  Approach

Our mission at Abacus is to help employers assist their health plan members and drive behavior change so that they can live happier, healthier lives.  Abacus has programs that impact lifestyle behaviors, increase detection of members at risk for costly chronic conditions, promote medication adherence, and drive utilization of health coaches and disease management services.  We do this by administering incentives for actively utilizing health maintenance tools and services.  Abacus is not always providing the actual health care services.  It is our ability to effectively target, communicate, and motivate members that is our niche and skill.  The increased detection of at-risk members and participation rates in behaviors, services, or treatments yield the improved health outcomes. Those results are what make us successful and an important vendor to complement your other health care service vendors.

Even if you have already established disease management and wellness services, it is sometimes hard to be sure if your members are truly taking advantage of them and benefiting.  Or you may wonder how you can increase current participation to maximize the effectiveness of services already in place.  Oftentimes, awareness of services or resources simply isn’t enough.  In order to facilitate behavior change, employees need to have a reason to become fully engaged in a program. 

That’s where Abacus comes in.  Our company has designed comprehensive programs that proactively identify and manage the health risks of your plan members.  Our programs provide your company with an approach to health plan services and design that effectively modifies those consumer behaviors that are needed to lower costs and improve health and productivity.  We have built interventions that coordinate and align incentives for your wellness programs, with your pharmacy benefits and your disease management services to create the most powerful approach in preventing and managing chronic illnesses

Abacus is truly a niche company, providing a unique service for you and your members.  We are here to enhance your wellness and disease management programs, making them simpler, more effective, and widely utilized.  The result: a healthier population and significant savings.  Components of our programs include:

  • Working with each client to define Program Goals and identify Preferred Incentives
