Chairman Mike Critelli, a recognized innovator in health benefits and
workforce wellness, introduced Allviant
Corporation’s CarePass™
technology at the Center for Health Value Innovation (CHVI) event on
February 2 in Washington, D.C. Critelli touted CarePass’ ability to
deliver a new level of convenience that breaks down the barriers
consumers face in trying to manage their healthcare.
“CarePass really helps organizations realize the full value of the
benefits they work so hard to deliver to their employees and their
families because it offers a practical, real-world method of
understanding and managing those benefits”
CarePass enables consumers to control their personal health service
communications and transactions by aggregating and delivering
context-relevant information securely -- via phone, e-mail or text
messaging -- depending on their preference. Additionally, CarePass
connects a network of service providers such as health savings vendors,
portals, personal health records (PHRs), content sites, nurse call
services, physicians and dentists. With the click of a button, CarePass
members can schedule and confirm appointments, receive alerts or
prescription reminders and verify deductibles or HSA balances.
“CarePass really helps organizations realize the full value of the
benefits they work so hard to deliver to their employees and their
families because it offers a practical, real-world method of
understanding and managing those benefits,” states Critelli.
According to Lilian Myers, CEO of Allviant, “Consumer health engagement
is the newest and biggest challenge. American companies spent an average
of $329 per employee on cash incentives to drive engagement in 2008 --
up from $192 the year prior. Human behavior dictates that lasting
engagement is a result of sense of control and relevance. CarePass was
specifically designed to answer those issues.”
CarePass is currently being used at Arizona State University (ASU) to
manage 175 wellness programs and events. The two-way CarePass
communication technology allows participants to select the type of
health and wellness information they want to receive, such as pregnancy-
or asthma-related information, smoking cessation or women’s health. In a
four-month period with only two email campaigns, ASU achieved a 17.4%
CarePass adoption rate of the benefits eligible employees on the main
campus. Those enrolled are receiving notifications for ASU Employee
Wellness events and programs.
