Digital BKV: Ofelos revolutionizes health care in companies!

In times of increasing disease -related absenteeism in German companies, the health company Ofelos develops a digital solution to occupational health insurance (BKV). According to leadersnet costs a sick employee on average 249 euros per sick day, whereby the trend is increasing. In view of these economic loads, it is crucial to find more effective solutions to ensure the productivity of the workforce.

The development of the digital BKV model from Ofelos aims to reduce the failures of employees. Many company health offers often fail to use low use. In contrast, Ofelos shows that with a combination of technology, prevention and targeted communication, the actual use of health services can be increased to 70 to 80 percent. This is compared to the typical use of classic offers that is between 5 and 15 percent.

flexible health budget and wide range of offers

The new BKV model offers companies the opportunity to implement a flexible health budget of 300 to 1,700 euros per employee annually. Over 300 health services are available from 9.90 euros per month, including preventive examinations, visual aids, dental services and osteopathy. This variety is a great advantage to meet the individual needs of employees.

The BKV can be completed centrally by companies, which makes the administration easier. A central success factor of the model is the accompanying communication that actively supports both companies and employees. The Ofelos Hub, a digital platform, offers explanatory videos, FAQs and memory mechanisms that contribute to the use and submission of health services. Positive impulses such as analog postcards and webinars complement this digital communication.

Effect of operational health promotion

In addition to the specific solutions from Ofelos, a report of the Health and Work initiative (IGA) shows that occupational health promotion (BGF) can effectively contribute to reducing disease -related absenteeism. According to studies, these absenteeism can be reduced by an average of 25 percent, which correlates with a return on investment (ROI) of 1 euro investment, which saves 2.70 euros. This data comes from around 2,400 studies and not only show the effectiveness of BGF, but also underline how important operational prevention is for companies.

The knowledge of the IGA also illustrates that many employees inadequately feel supported by their company in their health, which again illustrates the need for innovative approaches such as the BKV of Ofelos. BGF programs that combine various measures achieve particularly high effects, especially in the prevention of mental illnesses as well as for promotion of movement, weight reduction or nicotine cessation.

Overall, it is clear that there is considerable development potential for operational prevention in many companies. With the digital BKV from Ofelos, a step is taken in the right direction to promote both the health of the employees and to implement economic advantages for employers. However, further research is necessary in order to prove the effectiveness of the measures even better and thus provide decision -makers in companies to provide reliable arguments for investments in occupational health promotion. iga also emphasizes the cooperation with statutory health and accident insurance in order to continuously improve and expand prevention measures.
