Steering Employees to Healthier, Happier Lives.

Employers today are far too familiar with the statistics regarding rising healthcare costs and the main culprit— chronic disease, with its associated high treatment costs and lost productivity. The HealthMapRx℠ program provides today’s leading employers with the opportunity to combat these issues by empowering employees to successfully navigate the complexity of living with a chronic disease.

HealthMapRx works with employers to offer consumer incentive programs that focus on patient self -management education and techniques to help patients with chronic conditions improve health outcomes. The program matches health plan beneficiaries with community pharmacist “coaches” who provide hands-on education, while monitoring and evaluating the employees’ health improvements. Through one-on-one counseling sessions with pharmacists, employees can learn how to better manage their chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol) and reduce associated risks.

 Success Stories

“This program has truly benefited our employees by giving them access to needed services that help them better manage their chronic disease and enjoy a better quality of life. We have also seen a significant financial benefit from this program in that per participant total health care costs fell from $11,600 in 2002 to $7,900 in 2005.”

-JUDY PAIR, Corporate Director of Benefits and Diversity, Mohawk Industries, Calhoun, GA

“This is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my son. The pharmacist has pushed me, and I’ve controlled my diet, started walking, and am quitting smoking (down to four cigarettes a day from three packs a day). I was diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago, probably had diabetes longer … and haven’t felt better in years.”

– MADGE BEHELER, Fire and Police Dispatcher and mother of a diabetic who is in the program

“The program is a good support to help you stay on track, and an excellent resource for information. Having an hour set aside allows me to sit down, focus, and ask questions without feeling rushed.”

- CHANDRA FEARS, Program Participant, Dalton, Georgia 

“I have a much more thorough understanding of my disease and how I can be actively involved in my treatment and ongoing management. I can now make decisions not just about diet, but about stressors, schedules, and activity levels.”
