4. Comprehensive Wellness Program
Lifestyles Assessments can determine the success of your wellness
program. Our Lifestyles Assessment does more than simply identify
participants at risk for common diseases such as diabetes and heart
disease. Our Lifestyles Assessment can help you:
- reduce healthcare costs by decreasing the number of medical claims for
preventable injuries and illnesses.
- increases productivity by combating presenteeism and absenteeism.
- provides a baseline to track health improvements and demonstrate
cost savings.
- identifies current health risks within your organization, so you can offer
tailored and effective interventions.
- foster a healthy job environment.
Our simple Lifestyles Assessment, available in paper form or online, is based
on current research in the areas of health and wellness. Once the Lifestyles
Assessment is taken and reviewed by our health coaches, they will receive a
phone call to go over the results.

6. Health and Lifestyles Coaching
At Aynes & Brown, LLC, we believe it is essential to the Health and
Lifestyles Coaching program that we outreach to every participant.
Unlike most health coaching programs, that target 20% - 30% of the
individuals enrolled, we feel targeting 100% of individuals is key
to the success - that even the healthiest individuals will
benefit and foster a healthier workplace environment.

7. Health and Lifestyles Coaching
Participants will have a number of options regarding how they
participate in the program. Some individuals will work
one-on-one with a health coach and others will receive periodic
communication either through telephonic communication,
electronic communication or by the traditional printed material.
The type of communication method and intervention
used by our health coaches is decided by the health coach
and participant together.

field such as health care, physical education, sports management,
nutrition, community health or health promotion.
They participate in ongoing training and quality assurance activities to

and every participant.

10. Short Term Disability Management
Short duration disabilities can be costly to employers, both in lost
productivity and actual expenses, especially if there is a salary
continuance plan for short-term absence.
The Aynes & Brown Short Term Disability Management Program
offers solutions to assist the employer to maximize the health of
employees and increase productivity. Our effective approach
combines integrated disability management with prevention.
We use the most up-to-date Reed MDGuidelines, which are reviewed
and updated continuously.
10

11. Short Term Disability Management
We focus on reducing the duration of disability-related absences
and decreasing costs through early intervention
and ongoing management of disability cases.
Our disability nurses work with the employee and specialty team of
medical professionals. The Short Term Disability
Management Program monitors the medical necessity for absence,
guides the employee toward appropriate physician consultation,
educates employees about medical treatment options and good health
practices, and promotes a timely, productive, and safe return to work.

12. Short Term Disability Management
Aynes & Brown, LLC will generate quarterly and annual
reports which will document all activity for short term

13. Work Injury Management
Every year, millions of employees develop a disabling illness or
injury that requires them to file a Work Injury claim. The
Department of Labor estimates that the direct and indirect cost
to employers is at least $200 each day per absent employee.
If you are facing employee health and productivity challenges,
our Disability Management Nurses can customize programs that
specifically target work injury prevention and work injury
management. We provide appropriate, timely, objective and cost
effective services that focus on the employee returning to work at
full health and productivity.
We provide the same reporting features as our Short Term
Disability Management Program and can customize any report to
meet your needs.

variety of services.
