What Employers Can Do

As an employer, you can play a significant role in encouraging your employees to become wise health care consumers and make a meaningful difference in health care costs.

To make it easier for you to educate your employees about the drivers of health care costs and what they can do to make a difference, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has created the Decisions Count® Employer Toolkit.

Inside the toolkit, you’ll find:

  • Consumer brochures educate employees on costs associated with health care, what’s being done about rising costs, and how their decisions have an impact
  • .

  • Table tents and posters help extend the reach of the messages found in the consumer brochures
  • .

  • Newsletter articles you can customize, making it easy to distribute cost-saving messages through your existing communication channels
  • .

  • Payroll inserts give you the chance to send regular, brief messages about health care cost-saving strategies
  • .

  • Fact sheets provide helpful information about what employees can do to help curb rising health care costs.
