GREEN BAY — Emplify Health by Bellin continues to deliver results that matter through its direct-to-employer model. In 2024, 112 employer partners saved a total of more than $6.6 million, an increase from $6.4 million in 2023. This growth reflects the power of Emplify Health’s integrated care approach, which is rooted in the Triple Aim framework — enhancing the care experience, improving outcomes and lowering costs.
The strategy is simple yet powerful — providing no-cost access to services like Primary Care and often-needed Physical Therapy, ensuring same-day or next-day appointments, and surrounding each patient with a team focused on prevention, education and access. With healthcare costs challenging employers, many organizations are shifting more financial burden to employees through higher deductibles and copays. Emplify Health by Bellin takes a different approach, removing barriers, expanding access and investing in the kind of preventive care that drives long-term results.
Triple Aim Performance: 2023–2024
- Higher Quality: 75 percent of key health metrics improved for employer groups participating in Emplify Health by Bellin’s Analytics & Outreach Program, including blood pressure control, diabetes care and cancer screening rates.
- Exceptional Experience:An 88 Net Promoter Score (NPS) from employer partners (2024 Bellin Voice of the Employer survey), far surpassing industry benchmarks.
- Lower Cost:An average $600-plus reduction in cost per health plan participant (based on Bellin Health fiscal-year expenditures per member attributed to Bellin providers).
“Our partnership with Bellin has become a significant selling point for recruitment,” said Keagon Fifarek, HR Manager at Winsert, a manufacturer based in Marinette. “Offering free Primary Care, Urgent Care, Physical Therapy and Diabetic Education is something our employees and their families value, and it strengthens our community-based culture.”
