In 2017 Doug Frederick left a successful career that spanned over 15 years in finance, five years in healthcare and founded HealthCues. It took over 18 months to put the program together the right way, with the right vendors, and the proper support. HealthCues is a group healthcare management platform that is ensuring people with the greatest health care needs get access to the disease prevention programs they need. HealthCues focuses on prevention, diagnosis, mitigation, and treatment of chronic illnesses, providing people with additional health services beyond their primary insurance. “We want to automate common sense when it comes to health,” says Doug.
HealthCues is now serving hundreds of companies with over 25,000 members across the country, connecting vendors, employers, and employees to create win-win solutions for everyone, while offering personalized, affordable, and effective health care. HealthCues provides benefits along Doug Frederick Founder & CEO with financial incentives for employees and employers. The goal is to live longer, happier, healthier lives by providing access to care their primary care may not cover, which is preventative care for chronic disease.
There are three ways to fight chronic disease; prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment. HealthCues is about prevention. We work with employees to get them health risks assessments, biometric screenings, work with physicians, health coaches and more. If a diagnosis is made, they work to get that person treatment. HealthCues helps people make informed health choices by providing health education. HealthCues also includes a Limited Benefit Hospitalization Plan to help employees with out-of-pocket cost due to Hospitalizations, ambulatory and emergency room services. A Minimum Essential Coverage Plan (MEC Plan) is also available, if requested.
Our employee engagement is critical in making people healthier and it is a big part in making benefits easy to understand, personalized and affordable. Statistically, happy, healthy employees lead to increased profitability for employers. HealthCues works with employers to create incentives and contests to encourage healthy habits and activities for their employees. We also send out monthly communications on various benefits and topics about health care. The program really relies on engagement, so we constantly look for new programs and reach out for feedback from employers and employees to help give them a better experience.
Employers say the HealthCues program does help with recruitment and retention. Employees do feel that their employers care about their long-term health. Many employees are enjoying benefits they would not normally receive, and they enjoy the financial increase in net take home pay.
