The service is said to enable greater health care savings for employers, and their employees, by enabling employees to become more informed health care consumers.
Employees and their family members can better answer questions about their health care coverage, as well as flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs) by leveraging patient advocates offered through the service.
Advocates also give employees with up to three options for medical tests or procedures, along with quality and cost data, DirectPath said.
Risk Strategies Company national practice leader, employee benefits, John Greenbaum said: “By partnering with DirectPath, we’re able to help our clients save on health care by educating their employees on the complex health care landscape and empowering them to make better, more informed decisions about their care.”
