+ How much are pharmaceutical claims costing you?
+ Why is this happening?
Employers ask, “How can I reduce mental health claims?” The real question should be, “How can I address the quality of care issue existing today with behavioral health care treatment?” Most employers are experiencing upwards of 20 percent of employees and dependents having acquired a prescription for a psychotropic drug in the past 12 months. This is impacting not only drug and healthcare costs, but also absenteeism, disability, workers comp, work environment and overall productivity.
The Solution - Blomquist Hale Psychotropic Drug Intervention:
Countless studies indicate the best treatment is a combination of drug therapy and psychotherapy. The Blomquist Hale Psychotropic Support Program does not take the place of medical practitioners. The program instead assesses and makes suggestions and sets up requirements to help minimize the ineffective and unnecessary use of medications. Call Blomquist Hale today for more information on the Psychotropic Support Program.
4.) ‘CARVE OUT’ MENTAL HEALTH DISCOUNT PROGRAM:
Blomquist Hale has teamed up with the University of Utah to create a mechanism where employers can carve out their mental health/substance-use treatment out of their health plan. The University and there local and national affiliate network of providers are willing to sign at-risk contracts to provide services at a set per employee per month fee.
With efficient management strategies, data information systems, and creative treatment methodologies we can increase the number of people receiving services while at the same time reducing the overall cost of providing that care.
The end results of these creative approaches consistently demonstrate reduced health claims costs and increased member satisfaction.
