Employee Healthcare Problems

5. Misaligned Incentives Drive Costs and Poor Health Outcomes
This system incentivizes doctors to
- Take on a high number of patients and see them as
quickly as possible
- Perform high-cost procedures
Common Averages:
2,500 patients per physician
7 to 14 minutes per appointment
18.5 days wait time for an appointment
How Did We Get Here?

6. Primary care is the essential foundation in the
healthcare system.
Without affordable, accessible, convenient
primary care, patients experience:
1. Costly avoidable visits to the ER
2. Unnecessary visits to specialists for tests
and treatments that can be done in a
primary care setting
3. Healthcare cost drivers avoid the doctor all
together leading to a cascade of claims
down the road.
The Result? Poor Health Outcomes
