Health Plans & Benefits
Built to address the root cause of disease, we offer a financially sustainable alternative to traditional healthcare
Chronic Disease Will Continue To Rise Unless We Take Action To Reverse The Trend
In 1958, 1.6 million Americans had type 2 diabetes
Today it is estimated approximately 23 million have been diagnosed with the disease
As many as 96 million (1 in 3) adults have prediabetes
Of those with prediabetes, 8 in 10 don’t know they have it
Employers Carry a Hefty Bill for the Cost of Chronic Disease
Some of the most common chronic conditions cost employers a total of:
- $11.2 billion (obesity)
- $10.3 billion (high blood pressure)
- $9.1 billion (physical inactivity)
- $2.2 billion (diabetes)
That’s a combined total of $32.8 billion leaving the bottom line
“We achieve significant financial gains for payers and patients by avoiding expensive treatments, medications, and procedures”
What makes Balance Health different than the rest?
Enhanced Screening
We include metrics not typically checked in traditional wellness screens to ensure early detection
Personalized Plans
Not a “one-size-fits-all” curriculum. Our tailored evidence-based solutions achieve lasting results

By restoring health, we have the greatest impact on overall well-being and performance
Sustainable Results

Early Intervention
We change the course of health
Chronic conditions make up >85% of all healthcare dollars spent. Our health screen is built to detect early onset of the cardiometabolic risk factors for costly chronic conditions. This allows us to identify high-risk individuals who are in need of a more targeted intervention than the typical wellness program. Early detection empowers our members to gain clarity on their health status and how they can achieve remission through lifestyle modifications. We are committed to helping people overcome preventable disease in order to change the course of their health.

Excess Weight (BMI > 25)
High Blood Pressure
Prediabetes & Insulin Resistance
Type 2 Diabetes
Dyslipidemia (elevated “bad” cholesterol or fats in the blood, low “good” cholesterol)
Created to Fill a Major Gap in Care
Despite the high prevalence of prediabetes, research shows very low rates of screening or treatment by primary care
» One study from 2021 found almost 80% of patients with new prediabetes never received treatment
» Another study from 2022 found similar results- only 10.4% of patients with a laboratory diagnosis of prediabetes had a coded diagnoses of prediabetes and only 1.0% were referred for nutrition services
Personalized Care
Tailored plans for effective treatment
We get to know each of our members and develop a treatment plan specific to their condition. Targeted interventions are created to not just prevent disease progression but reverse it and restore health. Plans are developed by clinical registered dietitians who maintain the highest standard of care and use a comprehensive approach to address nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, metabolic health, hormone balance, gastrointestinal health, and more.
The Average Age of Onset for Diabetes is 42.5 years
People with a diagnosis of diabetes incur an average annual medical expenditure of $16,750, of which about $9,600 is attributed directly to diabetes management
Medical expenditures tend to be 2.3 x higher for those with diabetes compared to those without the condition
