About Us

Accurium develops consumer education programs to help employers, plan sponsors, administrators, and others address rising health care costs and improve quality. Our comprehensive programs help to develop:

• Lifestyle and Wellness Skills. Individual health and lifestyle choices drive a significant percentage of health spending. Our programs provide consumer information and decision tools that encourage and support better lifestyle choices, and help individuals understand the personal benefits of making better health choices. Our health content is pro-active, and shows consumers the basic steps they need to take to stay healthy.
  
  
• Consumer Health Skills. A significant percentage of health spending pays for unnecessary, duplicative or poor quality services. Informed, engaged consumers can help to reduce these inappropriate expenses. They are more likely to take the steps necessary to improve health quality and reduce preventable medical errors. Our programs help develop the consumer skills to support better consumer decisions. For example, our content helps consumers understand what questions to ask their doctors, basic steps they can take to prevent medical errors, and ways to find and evaluate health information.
  
  
• Greater Consumer Financial Awareness. Consumers understand little about the true cost of health care. Our programs help employees, plan participants, and others understand the financial consequences of individual health choices, ranging from compensation tradeoffs to the long-term costs of chronic conditions. With greater financial awareness, consumers will better understand the importance of using health resources cost-effectively.
