Welcome back to UAsk502! In this episode, I sit down with Shelby Winiger, Account Executive at Proactive MD — the healthcare organization behind Local 502’s exclusive member wellness center. This isn’t your average doctor’s office. This is a concierge-style, on-site health center built specifically for our members and their families. Shelby breaks down what the wellness center actually offers, which services are being underutilized, what health trends she’s seeing in our membership, and where the plan is saving money. We also take a sidebar to talk about something most members have never heard of — how prescription drug pricing actually works, and why every union member should understand what a PBM is.
What You’ll Learn:
- What the Local 502 Wellness Center actually looks like — and why it beats a traditional doctor’s office
- The health trends Proactive MD is seeing across our membership vs. nationally
- Which services are being underutilized — and what you might be missing
- The health checkup milestones every member should know at every stage of life
- ROI: where the wellness center is saving the plan money — and where we can do better
- PBM 101: how prescription drug pricing really works, in plain English
