Novia CareClinics…the Novia Way

What if you could:

• Halt medical inflation by buying certain medical services and drugs on a wholesale basis?


• Provide your employees with FREE access to primary care physician services and certain prescription drugs while reducing your overall costs?


• Gain competitive advantage in hiring and retaining employees by further differentiating your benefit package?


• Have your employees spend more time at work and less at the doctors’ office providing greater convenience for your employee and higher productivity for you?


• Improve the health of your employees by using health risk assessments designed to identify and then manage individual health risks?


• Receive tools to understand and manage the health of your employee population providing a base for targeted education and wellness initiatives generated by a family care physician who works on site with your management team?

What if you could do all this and:

• Reduce medical benefit costs by reducing the consumption of health care services over time.


• Not change your current health car plan, your insurance carrier, your broker/advisor or your third-party administrator.

The Novia onsite clinic concept…

Rising healthcare costs are pushing employers to seek alternatives to traditional cost control measures (claims, co-pays, provider networks, health savings accounts, etc.) for their employees. Shifting costs to employees discourages use of the health care system, impacts care and leads to more costly health services.

Visionary businesses are recognizing that integration of disease prevention and health promotion are key to controlling future health care costs. It’s about reducing more than the cost of care. It’s behavioral management…empowering employees to work with their health care team to reduce health risks and improve healthy lifestyles to impact health care costs over the long-term.

• Address global costs by contracting medical professionals and purchasing certain generic drugs and diagnostic lab services at prices competitive to providers;


• Successfully engage patients at employer-sponsored clinics, providing superior primary medical care for chronic and acute illnesses at no cost to employees while utilizing integrated health coaching services to reduce health risks, promote healthier lifestyles, increase productivity ;


• Involve board-certified medical staff able to practice free of insurance company constraints and have longer appointments with patients (20 and 40-minutes) to build relationships and trust that lead to improved care…all encounters provide health management opportunities;

Technology, disease prevention and health management services provided to Novia clients:

• Advanced system platforms provide a Web-based portal for clinic staff and patients to access an array of services including Electronic Medical Records (EMR) – the “medical home” for patients’ health information accessible to a patient’s health care team to achieve better decisions for each patient;


• My Personal Wellness Report (MPWR) is a unique, robust version of the traditional health risk assessment that integrates coaching with personal health data to drive wellness initiatives;


• “Reach out” process involves RNs who are certified health coaches in a number of conditions communicating with patients regarding all lab results and chronic/pre-chronic conditions as well as making follow-up calls for acute visits and providing educational materials to help patients better understand conditions and steps they can take to enhance their health;


• A help desk is provided during business hours for scheduling, registration, patient communication with a nurse coach or other assistance;
