Indiana Is Leading the Way in Preventive Health—Is Your Business Ready to Follow?

April 16, 20252 min read

A wake-up call for employers who are tired of rising healthcare costs

When Indiana’s Governor recently signed a series of executive orders prioritizing preventive health and employee well-being, he didn’t just make policy headlines—he sent a message to business owners across the country:

“Enough is enough.”

Governor Braun knows firsthand what rising healthcare costs do to businesses. As a former employer, he spoke candidly about how annual cost increases of 5–10% put immense pressure on companies trying to do right by their people.

The problem?
Traditional healthcare is based on remediation, not prevention—and businesses are paying the price.

Why This Matters to You

Whether you're in Indiana or not, the writing is on the wall: the healthcare system as we know it is unsustainable. Businesses across the country are facing the same challenges:

  • Escalating premiums

  • Limited access to care

  • Rising absenteeism

  • Decreased employee satisfaction

And most importantly? Delayed care caused by out-of-pocket costs, leading to bigger claims down the road.

That’s Where HealthWise Comes In

At HealthWise, we couldn’t agree more with Indiana’s approach—and we’re already helping businesses make the shift.

Our Smart Benefits plan was designed to complement or stand in for traditional health plans by focusing on what really moves the needle:

$0 Copay Care – Virtual urgent care, mental health support, and common prescriptions at no cost

Preventive Focus – Proactive health screenings, labs, coaching, and monitoring

No Net Cost – Works within payroll to avoid additional employer or employee expense

✅ Lower Insurance Claims – Drives down utilization and supports premium stability

All while improving retention, productivity, and employee loyalty.

You Don’t Have to Wait for a Governor’s Signature to Act

Indiana is setting a precedent—but you don’t have to wait for your state to follow.

If you’re looking for a smarter, lower-cost, higher-impact approach to employee healthcare, HealthWise is your next step.
