Wellness as Health Care Reform: Two Pennsylvania Companies Partner in Integrated Health and Productivity Services

RelianceONEHelps Employers Achieve Fiscal Fitness Through Better Employee Health
PHILADELPHIA & WILKES-BARRE, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company (Reliance Standard), a leading
insurance carrier specializing in flexible employee benefits, today announced
business collaboration with AllOne HealthSM, a leader in workforce health and
productivity, to enhance and improve the value of those services to businesses`
most important assets - their employees. Together, Reliance Standard and AllOne
Health will provide a cutting edge model for health and productivity management
(HPM) services called RelianceONE.

RelianceONE integrates AllOne Health`s expertise in wellness, disease management
and employee assistance programs with Reliance Standard`s disability and absence
management services. This holistic approach to HPM improves both employee health
and a business`s bottom line. HPM is an investment in workforce productivity and
corporate performance that views employees as valuable assets, not just a cost
of doing business.

Although many large companies may already have elements of HPM strategy in
place, RelianceONE can improve results by tailoring integrated tools and
services to each individual and employer. Because RelianceONE is not limited to
specific physicians or health plans, all employees - regardless of where they
live, what health plan they use, or whether they are sick or well - can get and
stay healthy. Under other such programs sponsored by health insurers, employees
can be excluded if they do not participate in that carrier`s health plan.

"Investing in a program like RelianceONE is a business imperative because
absences and health management issues affect business performance and drive up
benefit costs," said Lawrence Daurelle, president and CEO of Philadelphia-based
Reliance Standard. "Regardless of whether you are at work or home, sick or well,
RelianceONE is designed to help employees become and stay healthy, which has
important business implications."

According to AllOne Health, improved health may correlate with increased
employee productivity.

"Encouraging employees to get preventive care and better manage their health
increases the chances that they will make lasting, positive lifestyle changes,"
said William C. Reed, president of AllOne Health, based in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
"Employers benefit through reduced absences, increased productivity, slower
growth in health care expenditures and a more engaged workforce."

Employers will also receive comprehensive and streamlined information because
all employees can participate. As a result of consolidated reporting,
RelianceONE provides better and more complete information, including where
employees fall in the health continuum, behaviors that could be influenced, and
possible interventions. In the long term, such actionable data helps employers
reduce the cost of employee benefits.

RelianceONE benefits to employees include:

* Less confusion through seamless delivery of benefits
* Fewer, more effective touch points
* Increased "teachable moments" and health education opportunities
* Earlier medical interventions, when meaningful change is possible
* Better continuity of care
* Improved health and well-being

RelianceONE benefits to employersinclude:

* Inclusive of all employees
* Lower incidence and duration of employee disability
* Mitigate and stabilize direct health care costs
* Decreased employee absences
* Increased employee productivity and engagement

RelianceONE will be piloted with employers beginning in March 2010 to test
program implementation, determine success metrics and identify opportunities to
make enhancements. The product is expected to be available to the broad employer
market in July 2011. To learn more, email RelianceONE@rsli.com.
