Impact:

Negotiated with their current medical carrier a 2% reduction in premium, mid plan year. Resulted in a savings of $104,750. Secured an 18-month rate guarantee, based on their superior claims performance, thus giving budget certainty. 72% of participants enrolled in a CDHP plan. 39% of participants enrolled in a High Performance network yielding additional savings.
