A Stronger Heart, A Healthier Fund

See how one Taft-Hartley fund approached heart health, what an independent analysis found, and what labor leaders should consider when evaluating support for their members.

Cardiovascular risk may not appear as a single line item in a fund's claims. It can show up through hospitalizations, high-cost claimants, medication gaps, and related conditions.
‍
In this labor-focused discussion, leaders from Segal, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's National Labor Office, and Hello Heart examine the challenge from clinical, benefits, and fund perspectives. They also review an electrical workers' union case study, including the approach, utilization patterns, and financial findings from Segal's independent analysis.

What this session covers:

• How one Taft-Hartley fund approached heart health for its member population
• Why cardiovascular risk may be underestimated in claims and cost reporting
• What fund leaders should evaluate when considering a digital heart health program
• How member outcomes, utilization, and long-term fund value connect
• What Segal's matched-cohort analysis found for the electrical workers' union studied
