Smaller Employers Adopting Illness Management.
A recent survey finds almost 42% of companys with 200 or fewer employees have some sort of disease management program.
That’s a huge increase from four years ago, when just 28% of smaller corporations offered such health promotion programs.
There’s more to come, too. Fifteen% of respondents that didn’t currently have a disease management component to their medical plan hope to add one by 2011.
The highest-demand disease management programs are for diabetes, asthma and heart disease.
