Savings Calculation Request

Let's face it. It's hard to save money.  Dependent eligibility, working spouse, and medical/pharmacy claim audits are one of the few areas in benefits where money can be saved in a transparent, recurring, and immediate manner. 

In general, eligibility audits can potentially reduce claim costs by 2% - 3%.  Claim audits can save an additional 4% - 7%.  Said another way, a business operating on a 5% profit margin would have to generate 20 times the savings in revenue equivalents.
