In 1990, Harry V. Quadracci, founder of Quad/Graphics, became frustrated. Medical costs for the company’s 9,000 employees were soaring and there were a number of complaints about problems with medical claims and the poor quality of medical care his employees were receiving. He became determined to find a more reliable and efficient way to deliver health care to his employees and their families.
Harry’s idea was to “cut out the middle-man” by bringing primary care in-house and transforming the company from a purchaser of health insurance to an investor in employee health and productivity. QuadMed was formed and opened our first clinic in 1991. Starting with a small worksite clinic at Quad/Graphics’ plant in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, QuadMed took the bold, new approach of bringing nearly all primary healthcare services in-house – eliminating excess costs and bureaucracy in the process. The results have been extraordinary.
As word of our success spread, other companies turned to QuadMed to create and manage their onsite health and wellness and deliver accessible, affordable and high-quality health care for their employees. By focusing on wellness and prevention, QuadMed has become one of the most progressive and effective employer health care systems in the United States.
