Wellness Programs : Smaller Corporations Adopting Illness Management.

A recent survey finds nearly 42% of corporations with 200 or fewer workforce have some sort of disease management (DM) program.

That’s a enormous increase from four years ago, when just 28 percent of smaller employers offered such wellness programs.

There’s more to come, too. Fifteen percent of respondents that didn’t currently have a disease management (DM) component to their medical plan hope to add one by 2011.

The highest-demand disease management (DM) programs are for diabetes, asthma and heart disease.
