Hines Taps Castlight Health to Increase Benefits Engagement and Satisfaction
June 13, 2016
SAN FRANCISCO — Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE:CSLT), a leading health benefits platform provider, today announced that Hines, an international real estate investment, development and property management firm, is delivering its medical and pharmacy benefits and other health and wellness programs, through Castlight’s health benefits platform, in order to provide a simple and personalized healthcare experience to its employees.
Founded in 1957, Hines is one of the largest and most-respected real estate organizations in the world. As Hines introduced a new consumer-directed health plan (CDHP) option to its existing Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, the company sought to offer a comprehensive, integrated solution that engages employees to make better healthcare decisions. Hines built impressive employee engagement numbers during its initial 90-day period using the Castlight platform. This included a 54% employee registration rate and a 40% return rate. In addition, nearly 22% of employees opted for CDHPs over PPOs, which is more than twice the typical adoption rate.
Castlight’s health benefits platform delivers the personalized information and education needed to help Hines’ employees take charge of their healthcare. Employees receive “on the go” access via the Castlight mobile application, helping them make critical decisions at the point of care, or giving them the option to look up the cost of a newly prescribed medication before leaving the doctor’s office. Additionally, Hines plans to utilize the Castlight platform as a one-stop solution by also promoting its various health and wellness services, thus maximizing the company’s existing investments in benefits and resources.
“Castlight is ideal for our long-term strategy,” commented Cory Fitts, director of benefits at Hines. “Rather than trying to mitigate costs by adjusting our benefits or changing co-pays or deductibles, we want to make employees better, more informed healthcare consumers. If people have an idea of what care costs and can make educated decisions, that is a win-win for everyone.”
“Hines has a culture of excellence and achievement, and we believe the selection of our solution is one more example of these principles. We are thrilled that Castlight is helping their employees make the best healthcare decisions possible, as well as helping the benefits team achieve their engagement targets. Hines is a wonderful customer and we are honored to have them as part of the Castlight family,” said Giovanni Colella, MD, co-founder and CEO at Castlight Health.
