In today’s healthcare landscape, employers, insurers and government agencies, including Medicare, the DoD and VA, etc. are under great pressure to do more with less—improve employee health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and ensure workforce productivity.
One game-changing tool that’s flying under the radar does just that: MedKaz®—a patented, portable personal health record system that puts the entire medical history of an employee at their fingertips.
Unlike traditional health tech platforms that are fragmented, slow, or provider-centered, MedKaz is patient-focused, easy to use, costs less, and is incredibly impactful—not just for patients, but for the organizations that support them.
Here’s why MedKaz makes sense as part of any forward-thinking wellness benefits package.
1. Lowers Healthcare Costs for Employers & Payers
MedKaz avoids costly medical errors and eliminates unnecessary or redundant doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and procedures by giving providers immediate access to an employee’s full medical history, including progress notes, operative reports, labs, prescriptions, and procedures from all the patient’s providers.
💡 Fewer errors, visits and unnecessary procedures = fewer claims = lower costs = reduced deductibles and healthcare premiums over time.
2. Healthier, More Productive Employees
When employees manage their health proactively, rather than reactively, they stay healthier, miss fewer workdays, and maintain higher productivity.
MedKaz® empowers them with tools to:
- Better adhere to treatment plans and manage their care
- Share information with caregivers and loved ones
- Catch early warning signs of misdiagnosis or drug interactions
📈 The result? Better outcomes, faster recovery, and fewer avoidable complications — all of which keep your workforce strong and focused.
3. Supports Universal Healthcare Goals for Interoperability and Value Based Patient Care
For federal, state, and local governments, MedKaz empowers patients to achieve public health and digital equity initiatives. It aligns with goals to:
- Empower patients with their own health data
- Reduce systemic inefficiencies in healthcare delivery
- Improve outcomes through #carecoordination and informed decision-making
- Close gaps in care for seniors, rural residents, and underserved populations
🌐 It also helps agencies meet HITECH, HIPAA, and 21st Century Cures Act mandates, with secure, portable data sharing across care settings—even during power or internet outages, natural disasters or ransomware attacks.
4. Boosts Recruitment and Retention
Today’s employees value benefits that support their whole health—not just traditional insurance. Offering MedKaz shows you’re invested in their well-being, and gives them a preventive tool they can use outside the doctor’s office, including with:
- Caregivers for aging parents
- Government employees, including veterans
- Pharmacists for precision medicine
- Researchers (when they choose to contribute data)
🧠 It’s an intelligent, future-ready benefit that demonstrates innovation and care.
5. Low Cost, High Impact
MedKaz costs less than $9.00 per month / per employee—and it’s free for providers. That’s a fraction of what’s spent on traditional benefit programs that may not deliver as much direct value or savings.
🔒 Plus, it’s HIPAA-compliant, trusted, secure, and easy to use—even for tech-challenged employees or seniors. No one can change or modify a record on it.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re a private employer or a public agency, MedKaz offers a simple-but-powerful, affordable way to reduce costs, improve outcomes, and empower employees and insureds to take control of their health.
This isn’t just good healthcare policy—it’s smart business.
