Eli Lilly and Company       Description

Introduction

In 1992, Lilly’s Corporate Health Services (CHS) was formed combining the administration of all domestic on-site medical facilities, Employee Health Services (EHS) and the Lilly Health Plan (LHP). The goal was to identify synergistic opportunities which would enhance the health of health plan members and improve the health dollar efficiency by challenging traditional barriers and practices.

Lilly’s on-site medical facilities, in addition to occupational health services, provide a full array of adult ambulatory health care needs, whether the treatment intervention is work related or personal. Annually over 60,000 personal care (non work-related) visits are delivered. 

In addition, on-site nursing mother stations, mammography, community based screening colonoscopy, physical therapy and laboratory services are readily available for employees (regardless of managed or indemnity plan membership) with no “co-pay” and direct health plan billing to reduce administrative complexities.

90% of Lilly’s active employees elect to participate in EHS’s preventive health (StEP) exam, the frequency and content of StEP are adjusted for age, gender, job activity and known personal health risks (Item A). This program is uniformly offered regardless of salary class.

Recently, CHS assumed coordination of all work absences to better assure appropriate benefit delivery and regulation compliance.

By increasing medical access, expanding preventive care services and minimizing administrative barriers, reduced health risks and costs are experienced.
