With insurance premiums and employee medical claims on the rise, business leaders are looking to make changes within the workplace to help curb costs.

Many employers are introducing workplace health programs to help employees lead healthier lifestyles but these wellness programs do little to reduce health care costs for self- insured employers.

The Integrated Health Advocacy Program® (IHAP®) is proven patient-centered team approach that improves employees’ health while lowering healthcare costs.

• IHAP strategically addresses chronic healthcare conditions rather than focusing on acute care concerns.
• IHAP is a disease management program that ensures long-term wellness.
• IHAP successful system of change that allows participants to plan their lives rather than their next doctor visit.
