Nonprofit School Reduces Healthcare Spend by $2.46M Over 10 Years While Enhancing Benefits
09 September, 2025

OPOC’s Approach

Problem: This nonprofit school, dedicated to serving children and families with special needs, found itself at a crossroads in 2015. Its healthcare plan was becoming unsustainable—consuming an increasing share of the budget and putting pressure on programming and staff support. The goal was clear: reduce healthcare spend without reducing benefits. Ideally, improve them—to attract and retain the passionate educators and support staff essential to its mission.

Solution: OPOC.us audited plan design, premium outflows, and employee usage—revealing misaligned incentives and cost leakage. We introduced the One-Point-of-CARETM model to realign coverage with real usage. Employees gained one-on-one support through the CARE Center and Personal CARE AdvocatesTM, helping them resolve billing issues, lower costs, and better navigate their benefits. The result: 10 years of savings and stronger support for the people behind the mission.

Why It Worked
