Real Results for Health Plans
A successful health and wellness program is a great way to reduce chronic health risks for your plan members and decrease healthcare costs for your health plan while increasing your membership and improving your client retention. But in the sea of companies touting themselves as “wellness,” it can be hard to sift through the clutter and find that true partner who cares. Meet Vitality. We bring successful, lasting change — something few programs actually do. We use behavioral economics and actuarial science to create effective engagement strategies and compelling incentives that drive long-term behavior change and real business results.
