“With medical management, over the years we hope that people will incorporate healthy lifestyle changes into their lives and Mid West will save on health insurance in the long term.” –Mardi Fraley, Human Resources Manager
Mid West Fabricating Company, a family owned corporation started in 1945, is a leader in the cold forming of steel wire into special fasteners and rods for a range of applications, from automotive to industrial and consumer products. Over the years, the company has expanded to approximately 265 team members across three locations in Amanda and Lancaster, Ohio, and in Santa Fe Springs, California. Mid West still supplies cold formed components to automotive and lawn and garden customers, as well as customers in industries worldwide.
Benefits needs:
- Accelerating health care costs make it increasingly difficult to provide comprehensive benefits and take care of its team members the way it has for more than 60 years.
Solution from Great-West Healthcare, now part of CIGNA:
- With Great-West Healthcare Medical OutreachSM, Mid West Fabricating proactively engages team members in their own health management, helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage specific diseases and receive care during major health episodes.
- Within two weeks of implementing Great-West Healthcare benefits, a team member discovered and addressed a significant health risk during a health screening onsite - possibly averting a major health event.
- By making team members aware of their health, and providing the information they need to manage health issues, Mid West should see reduced claims costs in the long run and can take care of its team members effectively.
