Employer Consulting
Full crisis mode is the position many companies find themselves in as they try to manage their organization in a decade of double-digit healthcare cost increases. The news isn't getting better either: health care costs for many companies are equal net profits, and will continue to outpace inflation for the foreseeable future.
Companies are under tremendous pressure to prove their value, facing intense demands to create a more productive, results-oriented workforce while simultaneously reducing operating expenses. Employers as well as health care providers, health plans and employees need to team up and develop ways to systemically take costs out of the health care system. For many companies, it's a seemingly impossible task.
Fortunately, EPIC has extensive experience necessary to analyze and efficiently develop customized solutions that meet the unique needs of your organization which results in increased effectiveness, improved efficiency, and better bottom-line results.
