Driving Behavior Change is the Bottom Line!

Companies simply cannot afford to “do nothing” in this important health arena – there must be a focus on reducing the prevalence and cost associated with preventable disease.

Wellness programs have become a critical element to HR department’s employee benefit mix, and more importantly, a component of business strategy. Wellness programs are extremely diverse and vary based on business need, size of the organization and culture.

At the employer level, we seek to stratify risk and improve the health and well being of employees while creating a wellness culture. We produce a single information source to manage employee’s health risk with the ultimate goal to reduce trends and company cost.

At the participant/employee level, our programs mission is to guide members through a fun, engaging process of improving health and behavior modification while reducing metabolic, cardiovascular risk, and ensuring their success through a continuum of personalized education, clinical care, counseling, and empowerment.
The Wellness Solution is comprised of a number of elements that combine the best practices of wellness resulting in the most comprehensive, measurable wellness solution on the market today.

The three main components of the program are driven by thorough biometric testing, engaging social media tools, and interactive coaching.

ICMS recognizes that flexible products retain members. In addition to the major product offerings such as medical insurance, retirement plans and executive benefits, ICMS consultants work with clients to identify individual needs and to determine if those needs can be met with a voluntary benefits offering.

Effective analysis, selection and support, are key to offering an effective program for participants. ICMS utilizes a number of tools to survey and analyze the needs that may not be met by existing plans. In the next step a suite of products is selected to fill the gaps and devise an implementation plan.

Products are drawn from reputable providers that have efficient enrollment and administration platforms. We make sure that the implementation plan includes the resources necessary to educate your participants, answer their ongoing questions and handle the administrative details.

Fill the gaps in your benefit offerings with insurance products covering:

• Permanent and Term Life Insurance
• Short, Long and Supplemental Disability
• Long Term Care
• Specialized Health Care
• Legal, Auto and Home

 
The convenience of having quality offerings in these areas will be of high value to your members. This is invaluable to your organization. We will help you pick the best offerings up front and review their performance to ensure that the offerings continue to support the long-term objectives of the program.

Multiemployer plans are essentially benefit programs sponsored and administered by boards of trustees made up of both labor and management, representing participants from many organizations, and they are often referred to as “Taft-Hartley plans”.

ICMS has experienced consultants who provide unique services to multiemployer programs, including retirement, health care, disability and other welfare benefits to workers who might otherwise have no access to such benefits.

Unique Benefit Structures
Mulitemployer have unique structures that require a comprehensive understanding of unit benefit plans, credited service, collective bargaining unit formulas and reciprocity within industries. ICMS’s team of professionals provides these unique services to a broad range of multiemployers and we understand just how different these programs are from traditional single employer relationships.

Relationships
With so many perspectives, our consultants must build solid working relationships with all parties — union and management, members, trustees and professional advisors. We have focused on this market segment since our founding in 1986 and it continues to be a large part of our market success.
