Embrace the Future of Health Care Reform
UnitedHealthcare’s quarterly “inTouch” newsletter for Summer 2010 tackles such issues as fighting obesity, promotes the Quicken Health Expense Tracker, and details new ways for employees to stay healthy through integrated medical and disability management.
Beating Obesity with Wellness Coaching
Obesity plagues a large portion of the American population. Problems like diabetes, heart
disease and some forms of cancer are directly related to obesity. It’s also a problem for
employers, forced to bear a growing financial burden as a result of an overweight workforce.
Workplace obesity prevention programs are a great way for employers to reduce obesity and
lower their health care costs.
Make Benefits Planning Easier with Quicken Health Expense Tracker
With Quicken Health Expense Tracker, consumers can achieve a more complete understanding of
their health care expenses. This tool allows members to organize and track their health care
expenses to better estimate future spending and budgeting.
Integrated Medical and Disability Management Keeps Employees Health and Productive
Finally, individuals on disability account for a significant portion of a company’s medical
costs. The way to address this challenge is to offer an integrated approach that manages the
clinical, behavioral and social aspects of disability all at once. The Integrated Medical
and Disability Management (IMDM) program is designed to improve health outcomes, reduce
absence days and better manage health care and absentee costs.
