When employees utilize their health benefits effectively, they experience better health outcomes and reduced absenteeism. For self-funded employers, driving engagement in NASH programs also translates to significant cost savings on expensive specialty medications.

Many NASH clients implement creative incentive programs to shift member behavior and maximize the value of their pharmacy benefit plan. Here are three proven strategies:

1. Non-Cash Compensation

Many employers offer gift cards or vouchers as a reward for employees who opt into NASH services. Since the savings on a single high-cost medication fill can reach thousands of dollars, the incentive can be substantial—for example, a $500 gift card for choosing NASH over a traditional retail pharmacy.

2.Contests & Sweepstakes

To keep participation high, some employers use raffle-style contests. Employees who use NASH are entered into monthly or quarterly drawings for high-value rewards, such as $2,500+ gift cards. This “gamification” keeps the program fun and top-of-mind for the workforce.

3. Polypharmacy Bundling

For employees and plan members managing multiple prescriptions, convenience is the ultimate incentive. NASH can bundle retail prescriptions alongside high-cost specialty drugs. By integrating multiple prescriptions into a single claim, NASH helps members eliminate out-of-pocket expenses while streamlining their medication management.

A Smarter Approach to Healthcare Savings

Incentivizing employees isn’t just about participation—it’s about healthcare literacy and cost-containment. Whether through financial rewards or bundled savings, these strategies ensure your team gets the most value from their specialty pharmacy benefit through NASH.
