This release from Investor Observer covers the primary ways that medical device company Boston Scientific has chosen to address mental health and wellbeing support for their employees.
First, in order to bridge coverage gaps and clear any hurdles that may be impeding access, company plans will cover additional costs incurred seeking out-of-network services, essentially making them cost the employee no more than an equivalent in-network service.
Promotion of telehealth targeting not just employees but also their families has been another big part of the comprehensive mental health push, as has been the implementation of a fairly wide-ranging Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that include free counseling sessions and digital care platforms that employees can access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Education and information is another big part of Boston Scientific’s approach, which includes webinar and seminar access, as well as a personalized third-party healthcare advocate who can answer questions and help employees navigate through a sometimes seemingly unnavigable healthcare system.
