A recent survey finds nearly 42% of corporations with 200 or fewer personnel have some sort of disease management (DM) program.

That’s a enormous increase from four years ago, when just 28 percent of smaller businesss offered such health promotion programs.

There’s more to come, too. Fifteen percent of respondents that didn’t currently have a disease management (DM) component to their health plan hope to add one by 2011.

The highest-demand disease management programs are for diabetes, asthma and heart illness.
