MedCom Care Management Expands to New Client Base

Covington, LA (PRWEB) March 4, 2011

Gilsbar Holdings announced this week that MedCom Care Management's population health management services are being made available to employers and associations, separately from its health plan management services. Over the past few years, Gilsbar's wholly owned medical management subsidiary has achieved extraordinary success in helping employers control risks and associated costs to health plans. Employers utilizing the full suite of MedCom Care Management services are experiencing near zero health care cost increases annually.

MedCom Care Management is now ready to expand to a new client base, namely those clients who are not utilizing Gilsbar for plan management. According to Doug Layman, Gilsbar's EVP and CSMO, "We've got the outcomes to show how our staff and methodology is changing lives, and saving real dollars for employers and plan members. We've perfected a unique, highly personal model for providing care and education. Because of that, our nurses engage employees more effectively than our competitors. Higher engagement and more appropriate management of resources mean healthier, more productive employees and big dollar savings. We have partners nationwide who have been clamoring to get this service out to their employers and association groups. Now, we're in a position to deliver. This opens up brand new markets for Gilsbar and MedCom and we are eager to prove that our population health model exceeds the level of medical management services that are currently being delivered in the marketplace."
