Through Castlight's health care management suite, users are able to access valuable information on the cost and quality of medical providers and procedures, empowering them to make well-informed decisions on the care available to them.
An ardent supporter of employee health and wellness, Cummins offers a wide variety of programs to help its workforce take control of their health care. When it launched a consumer-driven health plan (CDHP), Cummins determined that incorporating a Health Care Transparency solution would not only help employees uncover low-cost, high-quality care, but could also drive engagement in other benefits initiatives such as its wellness programs.
"Our business is powered by our employees and we believe that healthy, productive and informed employees are key to our success," said Jill Olds, Director, Global Benefits Strategy, Cummins Inc. "By adding Health Care Transparency from Castlight to our benefits program, we can further engage our employees and their families in their health care and empower them to become better health care consumers."
With Castlight, employees can find cost-effective health care providers, services and facilities. In addition, the Castlight tool will help cross-promote Cummins' nurse helpline, maternity management program and Virgin HealthMiles rewards program. Cummins also plans to integrate Castlight with its pharmacy partner to provide richer data on pharmacies and prescriptions.
"Cummins has long been a visionary in how it approaches employee benefits and in understanding the importance and impact of engaging employees in their health care," said Giovanni Colella, M.D., co-founder and CEO, Castlight Health. "Forward-thinking employers like Cummins are helping pave the path to Health Care Transparency by showcasing how innovative new benefits offerings can improve outcomes and reduce costs for their employees."
