Mastering Benefits, Minimizing Risk
Benefit Spend
and Knowledge
Benefits spending is directly related to how well employees utilize their benefits. Yet, while workers appreciate their benefits, 85%* are confused about their coverage options. The challenge is, if employees do not understand their benefits, how will they utilize them efficiently? With Omega Notes, employers can support employees’ (thereby lowering benefits spend) by delivering the benefits knowledge they need, when and where they need it.
Lower benefits spend by empowering employees with the benefits know how they need to become effective healthcare consumers.
A cost-saving strategy involves helping employees understand their benefits before they are needed. By housing all of the benefit information in one comprehensive library, employees have 24/7 online access to the knowledge they need, when they need it. Questions such as “what’s in network and out of network”, “what’s covered”, “what’s an EOB”? Can not only be answered immediately, but can immediately save money. For example, research has shown that nearly 1 in 4 employees don’t understand what a provider network is. With online access to the in-network providers, everyone benefits from discounts being 20% of standard rates, on average.
By providing employees with information about their benefits in a social media-like environment, they will be able to understand them easier and more effectively. It is more likely that employees will engage with the content regularly if it is presented in the familiar layout and interactive features of popular social media platforms. A variety of formats, such as bite-sized posts, infographics, and videos, allow information to be consumed more easily. The Omega Notes platform fosters a sense of community and support between employees by allowing them to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from each other.
Increase Availability
Never has an employee brought their benefits packet to an ER. But today’s employee always has their phone. Omega Notes is online 24/7, 365 to deliver the knowledge needed at the time of need. As benefits evolve, the platform can be updated immediately with notifications being distributed in real time.

Ultimately, the innovative, Omega Notes approach makes understanding benefits easy and enjoyable, empowering employees to make informed health decisions.
