Employers and individuals pay a high price for untreated alcohol problems. In the workplace, employee alcohol problems lead to greater healthcare expenses for injuries and illnesses, higher absenteeism, lower productivity, and more workers' compensation and disability claims.
By providing companies with comprehensive health benefits that include customized treatment for alcohol use disorders without imposing higher copays or deductibles for these services, insurers can help their clients reduce healthcare costs and ensure a healthy and productive workforce.
