1000 commercial employees (conservatively 2100 lives) have an average in patient rate of 10% (210 admissions). Half of all admits come through the emergency department (105). With a 20% utilization rate this results in approximately 21 inpatient admissions per thousand employee lives per year.
At $10,000 savings per admission, that results in $210,000, or $210 PEPY savings. Depending on member engagement, that adoption rate can easily grow.
Plans can save $10,000 per admission when a member chooses an ‘A’ over a ‘C’ facility.
