Haynes, George; Dunnagan, Tim
American Journal of Health Promotion, v17 n2 p112-21 Nov-Dec 2002
Employed a 6-year retrospective cohort design to examine the relationship between health indicators variables, health insurance costs, and utilization. Data collected from 1,940 employees who belonged to a worksite health plan indicated that employees with problematic health risk factors had a significantly higher probability of submitting health insurance claims and significantly higher costs than their no-risk counterparts.
