Employee Benefits Communications

The importance of effective employee benefit communication has never been greater. With constantly changing benefit plans, the widespread use of high deductible, consumer directed health plans and the desire by employers to make their employee’s better consumers of health care, communication is critical. Effective benefit communication can help to achieve employee buy-in on benefits and encourage appropriate utilization.

The Write Source offers employers an efficient and effective way to communicate important benefit information and distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Using significant benefits and communication experience and expertise, The Write Source:

  • Creates a strategic communications plan that aligns with organizational strategies to engage employees and increase employee satisfaction
  • Builds awareness and appreciation of benefits through consumer-oriented communications
  • Brings a fresh perspective that transforms technical benefit jargon into interesting information that people will actually read and remember

Best Doctors

The Informed Decision Making (IDM) initiative was implemented by BHCG to:

  • Improve treatment outcomes and reduce the number of unnecessary and excessively invasive procedures
  • Encourage consumers to make health care purchases on an informed basis and based on value (cost and quality)

Best Doctors, BHCG’s informed decision-making vendor since 2012, offers a real solution for the problem of medical uncertainty for the most complex, critical and costly cases. Best Doctors connects employees and dependents facing medical uncertainty with more than 50,000 world-renowned medical experts across 450 specialties and sub-specialties. BHCG member employers have access to an extensive portfolio of employer solutions provided by Best Doctors at preferred rates.

Founded in 1989 by doctors affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Best Doctors helps individuals and their treating physicians make sure they have the right diagnosis and the right treatment plan. Best Doctors offers a decision support service that provides an expert medical consultation when employees and their dependents are faced with a significant medical decision.  The whole process takes place over the phone, so members can call in the privacy of their own home.

More than a traditional second opinion, Best Doctors delivers a comprehensive evaluation of a member’s medical condition while promoting consumerism, reducing unnecessary utilization and yielding better outcomes. The program:

  • Provides clinical support to members and their families regarding complex medical issues including second opinion/diagnosis confirmation assistance
  • Educates consumers on procedural benefits/risks, treatment alternatives, preparation for physician discussions, pre- and post-surgical activities to improve recovery and avoid complications
  • Connects employees and their families with the right health care support and treatment plan
