Savings Opportunities
Reviews an existing client's benefits program for savings: rebuilds the cost baseline, reconciles it against carrier invoices, and scans the standard levers — funding arrangement, plan design, contributions, pharmacy, vendor fees, and billing hygiene. Every opportunity comes with an estimated saving, its tradeoffs, and the next step, organized into a prioritized roadmap.
What goes in
The client's program documents — rate sheets, enrollment or census extracts, the employer contribution policy, carrier invoices or premium statements, claims experience or utilization reports, vendor and administrative fee schedules or contracts — plus the client's savings objective and stated constraints. No input is required beyond the client: with no financial baseline the workflow runs a qualitative savings scan that names the applicable levers and exactly what data to request.
What you get
A Savings Opportunities Report as a Word document: an executive summary with the total annual potential as a range, the computed cost baseline with invoice reconciliation, prioritized opportunities each with the current state, proposed change, estimated annual savings, basis and assumptions, tradeoffs and risks, and next step, an employee impact summary separated from employer savings, data gaps and requests, and a savings roadmap of quick wins, renewal-cycle changes, and strategic moves.
How it works
- 1Establish the engagement: confirm the client, plans in scope, savings objective, and the constraints that must not change — then proceed with whatever documents are available.
- 2Reconstruct the baseline: the program's cost is rebuilt from rates, enrollment, and contributions and reconciled against the carrier invoices, with unexplained variances flagged.
- 3Scan the levers: funding arrangement, plan design and migration incentives, contribution strategy, pharmacy, vendor and administrative fees, and eligibility and billing hygiene are checked against the evidence.
- 4Quantify: each opportunity gets an estimated annual saving with its basis, employer savings shown separately from employee cost-shift, and anything conflicting with your stated constraints flagged.
- 5Deliver: a Savings Opportunities Report as a Word/PDF document with the cost baseline, prioritized opportunities, employee impact, and a roadmap of quick wins, renewal-cycle changes, and strategic moves.
