New findings show a leading Fortune 500 employer saved $3.04 in health care costs for every $1 invested in Lyra mental health benefit
Lyra Health, the leading provider of innovative Workforce Mental Health solutions for employers and health plans, today announced the results of a mental health study by global professional services firm Aon, which found that a leading Fortune 500 employer saved $4,138 per member on their health plan in year one.
The analysis compared health care costs between individuals who utilized Lyra services with a matched control group of individuals from the same employer who did not use Lyra over one full calendar year.
For many organizations, health care expenses are one of the most significant and least predictable operational costs. This leaves employers with the difficult task of balancing limited budgets to find the best care for their people.
Today’s study builds on a recent landmark report showing that Lyra also delivers the only sustained health care savings, with employers across various industries saving an average 26% each year over four years. These results demonstrate Lyra provides the highest-quality clinical care and predictable cost reductions for employees.
“This new report is a testament to the belief system that Lyra was founded on — the highest quality care gets people better and keeps them better, reducing overall health care costs for employers,” said Dr. Connie Chen, chief operating officer, Lyra Health. “Core to this success is our evidence-based provider network and significant investment in clinical innovation and research with 16 peer-reviewed papers demonstrating Lyra’s industry-leading clinical outcomes.”
“Our analysis showed $4,138 in cost savings per member, indicating that for this customer, there was a return of $3.04 in health care savings for every $1 dollar spent on Lyra’s services,” said Ron Ozminkowski, senior vice president of commercial analytics at Aon. “The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of Lyra’s services in reducing overall health care expenditures for its users.”
