Disease Management

What is Disease Management?

Disease management is a coordinated healthcare approach designed to help individuals with chronic conditions manage their health more effectively and reduce the overall cost of care. In employee benefits, disease management programmes target conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and depression through patient education, regular monitoring, care coordination, and proactive intervention. These programmes aim to improve health outcomes, reduce hospital admissions, and lower healthcare expenditure for both employers and employees. Disease management may be offered as part of a health plan or as a separate carve-out service.
