Employee Assistance Program group purchase arrangement with Concern EAP
MBGH members benefit from MBGH contract negations, oversight and a significant discount off normal EAP fees. Concern EAP, part of the Baptist Memorial Health Care Corporation, links with a national network of EAPs to provide access for MBGH members that have employees throughout the United States. Concern offers face-to-face as well as telephonic services; provides management training; comes onsite to respond to worksite events.
Utilization Management services group purchase arrangement through American Health Holdings
Self-insured employers wishing to carve out their utilization management programs, including precertification, continuing care review, case management and specialty services such as maternity case management, can access MBGH’s utilization management agreement with American Health Holdings. Because pricing is a fixed amount per employee per month, MBGH members can confidently budget and manage the costs of utilization management services. MBGH provides vendor management and serves as the liaison between the MBGH member and American Health Holding, reducing the administrative burden for our members. American Health Holding is a multi-URAC accredited medical management service provider, licensed in all required states, that serves over 2.5 million covered lives.
Behavior Health provider network
MBGH’s behavioral health network can complement the member’s existing network or serve as a carved-out specialty network for the Memphis area. The network is an “any willing provider network” which results in a large network for employees to select the provider that works best for them. To be in the network, providers agree to MBGH pricing and general service requirements. The network includes inpatient, outpatient intensive, alcohol & drug abuse, clinical social workers, psychiatrists, and psychologists.
Vaccine program through Methodist Healthcare
MBGH works with our members to purchase and schedule seasonal, H1N1 and adult preventive (such as pneumonia) vaccines. MBGH works directly with Methodist Healthcare to ensure that our members receive an adequate and timely supply of these critical vaccines. If needed, MBGH can arrange for vaccines through alternate sources.
Health fair planning & implementation
Health fairs can serve as a vehicle to introduce worksite wellness & health promotion initiatives and to focus employees on their own health through completion of health risk assessments and feedback. MBGH is available to help our members plan, organize and implement their health fairs. We can identify, recruit & schedule exhibitors, evaluate space requirements, arrange for exhibit rentals, and be onsite to ensure the health fair runs smoothly. In addition, MBGH staff is available to help employer members review their aggregated health risk assessment feedback reports and identify on-going health promotion & wellness activities as well as health benefit design changes to support a healthier workforce.
Employee health education & awareness program through Memphis Shelby County Health Department
Through MBGH, member employers have access to the six-week program “Move More, Eat Better…It All Works Together Fitness Challenge” developed & conducted by the Memphis Shelby County Health Department. This nationally recognized partnership of employers & public health brings evidence-based health education & awareness programs to the work place to help employees adopt healthier lifestyles, including more physical activity and healthier eating. The program includes pre- and post-testing of health awareness, weight & blood pressure to measure overall program impact. MBGH staff assists with program scheduling and outcomes measurement. There is no fee for this program.
Worksite-based health promotion & wellness program through Virgin HealthMiles
Small to medium sized employers now have access to this innovative internet-based worksite program which has only been available to employers with over 1,000 employees. The Virgin HealthMiles program is an incentive-based activity program in which employees get points for physical activity as well as other important health activities, such as completing a health risk assessment and monitoring/reporting their weight & blood pressure. As employees progress, they become eligible for rewards selected by the employer. The program engages those that are already fit as well as those that need motivation to improve. Employers benefit from healthier, more productive employees that will, ultimately, have fewer longer-term healthcare needs. Employers receive aggregated reports to measure program effectiveness.
