Self-Insured Employers

Driving Participation for a Healthier Workforce

Embel Assist helps self-funded employers get more value from the health resources they’re already paying for.  The goal is to support healthier employees, reduce avoidable costs, and make it easier for people to take action at the right time. By improving how and when employees engage with those resources, we help strengthen trust, increase participation, and create a better overall experience across the workforce.

Benefits Are Underperforming for Employers and Employees

Self-funded employers are spending more than ever on healthcare, yet most employees never engage with what’s available to them. In many cases, less than 5% of the population takes action. Outreach from the health plan isn’t working, and programs sit unused while costs continue to rise.

HealthVia™ changes this.

It supports a total population health strategy that improves program enrollment, strengthens employee trust, and delivers measurable cost savings. All of this is accomplished using the infrastructure already in place.

What HealthVia™ Means for Employee Health

HealthVia™ isn’t just another benefit add-on.

At the center of this strategy is a framework that turns workforce insights into action. The total population is segmented into dynamic personas based on risk, readiness, and needs, then guided into enrollment programs that are tailored to their unique needs. Behind the scenes, a powerful capability platform supports every step, using data enablement, predictive modeling, orchestration, and real-time measurement to ensure outreach is timely, relevant, and effective.

The result is higher program enrollment, stronger participation, and healthier employees who feel more connected to the support their employer provides.
