Case Study

Reducing a 15% Renewal
to Just 2% for a Mid-Sized
Healthcare Organization

Client:

A 150-employee healthcare provider.

The Challenge:

The client was facing a daunting 15% renewal increase from their carrier, which would have cost them over $250,000. They were also struggling with high employee turnover among clinical staff and felt their current benefits plan wasn’t competitive enough to retain top talent.

The Evergreen Solution:

Our team conducted a full market analysis and determined the carrier’s initial offer was not supported by the group’s claims data. We aggressively negotiated with the incumbent carrier while simultaneously marketing their plan to other A-rated carriers. We introduced a level-funded plan design that offered more flexibility and cost control. Finally, we implemented a robust voluntary benefits program focused on mental health support and student loan assistance to address the specific needs of their workforce.

The Results:

First Result

Reduced the final renewal to a 2% increase, saving the client over $200,000 in annual premium.

Second Result

Increased employee participation in voluntary benefits by 40%, signaling a high perceived value.

Third Result

Provided the client with detailed claims data, giving them unprecedented insight and control over their future healthcare spend.
