Robust Benefits Plan
Strategic Engagement
We designed a Rewards Program structure that would drive value based on Gateway First Bank's unique health plan design. This included a meaningful cash incentive for lower priced surgeries and labs, and a more substantial cash incentive for higher-priced care.
Employees received compelling, valuable communication about the health benefits plan on their terms, and in real time. Communication pathways were tailored to the health plan and Rewards Program structure, and were distributed through text message, push notification, and email.
Medefy's Care Guides were at the ready for Gateway First Bank's health plan members 24/7. Through our powerful technology, our real, human Care Guides know every detail of the health benefits plan within seconds of engaging in a chat with a plan member.
Medefy became first point of contact for members needing to navigate care. Redirection to high-value, low-cost care happened. When the member completes the appointment, Medefy triggers the distribution of the incentive directly to the member.
Employees are engaging in the benefits program in a way that's good for their health and good for business.
