National Health Services (NHS), a national marketing umbrella company under the direction of Elizabeth Gannon, a proven wellness solutions leader, offers access to consumer driven healthcare solutions powered by a healthcare technology platform. NHS offerings represent a fresh, actionable approach that provides real answers to today’s soaring healthcare premiums.
NHS’ My Healthy Lifestyle® provides the nation’s first true turnkey end-to-end wellness and e-Health plan solution, complementing the complete range of custom products and services under the NHS program offering. One of the most compelling features of NHS programs – such as My Healthy Lifestyle® -- is its ability to meet the budget requirements of employers and benefit payers, enabling them to offer an effective, independent wellness solution that remains consistent and offers high quality, regardless of the insurer. NHS has a track record of success with ROI that can be validated – and ROI is inevitable.
Originally launched as an early prototype for a major national health insurer in 2002, My Healthy Lifestyle® gained its recognition in the wholesale discount healthcare marketplace. Today, the program continues to serve over 200,000 discount health card members nationally, providing a flexible, affordable basic wellness solution and benefit for employees and plan members.
The new and improved 2006 model of My Healthy Lifestyle® is a robust and sophisticated program, affording access to a broad array of solutions and services which can be customized to meet specific needs. The new wellness plans are built on the defined contribution model and are managed through NHS. Program components include:
- Claims review and revenue recovery management
- Gap coverage
- Wellness assessment tools
- Diagnostic testing
- Focused, personalized wellness programs -- complete with incentives
- Health advocacy and wellness coaching
- National PPO access
- Healthcare coordinators
- HSA/FSA/HRA administration
Additional services such as health management solutions addressing leading lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity are being evaluated for inclusion.
All plan models have access to the discount health buying club portal for discounts on all health related out-of-pocket services.
As employers, government agencies and health plans nationwide seek remedies for their rising health care premiums, they recognize the need to invest in wellness solutions. These entities now realize that purchasing these solutions from a health insurer may not always be in the best interest of an employer -- especially if the employer changes carriers. The results could be devastating: A total loss of all data, progress and investment.
NHS aligns with the goals of consumer driven health, enabling consumers to make educated choices about their health, discover ways to save money and avoid rising health care costs. While many of the new consumer directed health models and HSA products are simply financial platforms – representing banking, not healthcare – NHS programs are consumer empowerment options.
NHS gives consumers what they really need: Meaningful products and services that answer individual needs for healthcare improvement. These are real solutions with real savings that answer the call for better health at lower costs.
