Florida is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, and as the population increases, so does the need for critical resources like health care. While this growth boosts the state’s economy, business owners face challenges from rising health care costs. Employers must strike a balance between offering accessible, affordable coverage and managing expenses effectively.
That’s why many companies are focusing on enhanced primary care benefits. Preventive and routine services — like treatment for common illnesses and proactive screenings — can reduce the need for costly, complex interventions. Regular engagement with primary care physicians (PCPs) also ensures care coordination, leading to better efficiency and cost savings.
Aetna’s Approach to Primary Care
Aetna®, part of CVS Health®, is empowering South Florida businesses with flexible health plans that emphasize primary care access. The strategy is simple: better cost management and improved employee health begin with convenient, high-quality care.
Employers who offer enhanced health benefits, such as virtual visits and accessible preventive care, see healthier, more productive teams. Businesses also benefit through reduced absenteeism and improved workplace well-being. Despite its importance, primary care remains underutilized, making employer advocacy a crucial factor in promoting its adoption.
