Bene-Fit Group Powers Up Its Product Offering with DHS HealthSpective

HOUSTON, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthcare's most innovative Health Risk Management Program, Bene-Fit Group, is now providing employers with some of the most powerful member analytic and engagement tools in the industry. Beginning this month, DHS Group's HealthSpective Analyze and Engage (Medical and Move) services will be added as standard components of the Bene-Fit Program.

"These new services allow Bene-Fit to offer their clients a truly comprehensive solution to the rising cost of healthcare," DHS Group CEO Jim Pritchett said.

"I'm very excited about our partnership with fellow Houston-based company DHS Group," Bene-Fit CEO Barry Glenn said. "The insight HealthSpective provides enables us to help our clients identify and minimize exposure not only in their employee populations, but in their healthcare plans as well."

The Bene-Fit Health Risk Management Program reduces healthcare spending for clients by enabling employees to fully fund supplemental benefits through participation in an ACA-approved wellness program. The burden of supplemental premiums is lifted from the employer while, simultaneously, improving the health of their population through the wellness program. Bene-Fit's innovative approach towards employee engagement makes it significantly more effective than previous Health Risk Management programs – and the addition of HealthSpective's services promises to increase the effectiveness even more.

Using the Engage module, Bene-Fit allows employees to purchase fully-funded wearable activity tracking devices that allow them to track their fitness levels and monitor their progress towards goals and challenges set by health coaches. The Analyze and Engage Medical modules will track this information along with employees' claim history and other data to create personalized risk profiles that Bene-Fit can address through preventative coaching and other measures.

"We're now capable of reducing healthcare spend for our clients at every level," Glenn said. "From identifying, intervening and improving the health of high-risk segments of a population to designing custom plans that maximize coverage while minimizing exposure."

Bene-Fit has already begun issuing wearable devices for the Engage module and expects to offer the Analyze service to clients by February 1, 2017. They will be exhibiting at the ISCEBS Employee Benefits Symposium in September 2017.
