School consortium helps employees take charge of their healthcare
The Allegheny County Schools Health Insurance Consortium (ACSHIC) was looking for a benefit for its 45,000+ insured employees and family members that would encourage people to take control of the healthcare they receive.
The trustees selected Best Doctors as an important decision support resource to help employees be sure they are getting the right care. ACSHIC members have confidence they have the right diagnosis and treatment with expert medical consultations from nationally-recognized physicians.
As a result, unnecessary procedures are avoided, and members have peace of mind. Of the ACSHIC member cases reviewed by Best Doctors, 27% have resulted in a change in diagnosis and 55% in a change in treatment, which delivers healthcare cost savings for ACSHIC.
