Key insight

Cost is driven by utilization, not coverage alone.

The same condition can produce vastly different cost outcomes depending on where care starts, how it is escalated, and whether employees receive medical guidance.

What drives unnecessary cost

  • ER overuseEmployees enter high-cost pathways for cases that can often be resolved earlier.
  • Specialist overuseCare escalates without proper triage or physician-led coordination.
  • No medical guidanceEmployees and HR teams are left to navigate decisions under pressure.
  • Poor visibilityEmployers see cost after the fact instead of managing behavior before it compounds.
