How digital primary care with a focus on women’s health can save costs for entire organizations

A staggering 90% of national healthcare costs are devoted to chronic and mental health conditions, which have a significant impact on women. Unfortunately, traditional healthcare systems neglect the unique needs of women. Although primary care services have proven to be effective in cost reduction and improving health outcomes, they were not originally tailored to address women’s healthcare needs. In a recently authored white paper, Hello Alpha shares data about the general healthcare costs that organizations face and how primary care, and specifically, women-focused primary care, can offset them

The healthcare system wasn’t designed with women in mind: women face higher rates of misdiagnosis, unnecessary specialist referrals, and gender bias in the doctor’s office. In the workplace, untreated — or incorrectly treated — preventable women’s health conditions lead to financial consequences for both employees and their employers due to absenteeism, presenteeism, turnover, and direct healthcare costs.

This white paper summarizes how a women’s health benefit can:

  • Improve health outcomes while reducing spend
  • Offset the direct and indirect costs of gender bias in the healthcare system
  • Align healthcare benefits with DEI&B strategies to improve employee engagement
