The $81 Billion Toll of Substance Use Disorders on the Workplace: Employer Strategies for Cost Effective Care and Treatment

Substance use disorders related to alcohol and drug addiction are having a heavy emotional and financial toll on the workplace. It’s estimated that addiction costs employers upwards of $81 billion per year and employers struggle with how to provide the correct care. Finding in-network providers is challenging and health plans are paying a significant amount in out of network fees and “Shared Savings” that the carrier then takes.

This episode of The Pulse examines the health plan impacts of substance abuse, including uncovering why so many facilities are not in network, what the carriers’ role is in this issue and how employers can create better strategies.
