Partnering with HR, or Senior Management Is Key
The 2017-2018 flu season marked the highest level of hospitalization for influenza ever recorded. Last month we highlighted this billion dollar problem and shared how to keep your office healthy during the flu season. Washing hands, drinking lots of fluids, optimizing your vitamin D level, and staying rested are tried and true ways to keep your immune system strong.
But what if everyone in your office had a quick, easy opportunity to be inoculated for what may be another record-breaking flu year? What if there was a way for every single person in the office to easily get immunized for one of the costliest seasons annually? Star Wellness can make it happen with on-site employee flu shots.
Your HR department may not know how easy company wide wellness can be with Star Wellness. Nearly every time Star Wellness employees visit a new office they hear, ‘we wish we would have known about you before now!’
Time and time again, our clients are not only impressed by our professionalism and efficiency – they are blown away by how easy the entire process is.
From start to finish, site visits with Star Wellness are effortless. Star Wellness brings everything to you and sets up on-site in a convenient location for employees. Vaccinations are covered 100% by almost all major insurance plans. As an in-network provider, the services are billed directly to the insurance company by Star Wellness.
“Directly billing insurance means no up-front costs. No co-pays. Flu shots and other vaccinations are considered preventive services and are covered completely,” says Johnette van Eeden, CEO, Star Wellness.
“Manufacturing employers may also need TDAP (tetanus) and/or Hepatitis inoculations – other industries have other specific needs. Star Wellness can help with these, as well as being quick, efficient, and effective.”
While most employees don’t have the authorization or even capability to set up an employee wellness program, it is easy for any HR department. Star Wellness works with companies that serves 25 employees or more. With years of experience over many states, Star Wellness knows how to work with your HR rep to serve your entire staff.
So talk to your HR representative. Or, talk to your manager. Send them an email with a link to this article or our website: www.starwellnessusa.com.
Or, don’t. And prepare to listen to your co-workers in the next cubicle sniffling and coughing away this flu season.
On a more somber note: the flu does kill between 12,000 and 56,000 Americans every year – usually people with weak immune systems. The flu is also a precursor to pneumonia and other respiratory infections. If you have young children or care for an elderly person, please get a flu shot soon as it takes about 2 weeks for protective antibodies to develop and the vaccine to provide protection.
Don’t have insurance? We can also direct bill your organization or have individuals pay directly.
