Savings are not guaranteed. Actual premium savings will vary based on plan selection, geographic location, and employee demographics.
**$1,800 figure is an estimated potential annual value based on a family of four utilizing the full family fitness reimbursement ($300), estimated Rx and OTC savings, and the total value of cost-sharing waivers for 3 pediatric sick visits, 3 pediatric behavioral health visits, 6 physical therapy, 6 chiropractor, and 6 acupuncture visits specifically available on the Complete HMO 2500 30/55/500 with Care Complement plan. This amount is not a cash payment or a guarantee of savings. Actual value realized will vary significantly based on plan selection, individual healthcare needs, and program utilization.

Case study spotlight: Understanding the Home Hospital care model
Our latest case study focuses on Mass General Brigham's innovative Home Hospital program and explains how this model positively impacts patient care delivery. In response to growing hospital overcrowding and capacity constraints, Mass General Brigham launched Home Hospital in 2017. This program allows eligible patients to receive comprehensive care at home, helping to reduce hospital and emergency department utilization.
