OPOC.us’s Approach
Problem: A legacy manufacturer was facing rising healthcare costs and low employee engagement. Most employees weren’t using their coverage—either due to unmet deductibles or lack of understanding. Meanwhile, the company was overpaying for a plan that didn’t match how employees actually used benefits. They needed a sustainable solution to reduce costs without cutting coverage—and offer a plan employees would actually use.
Solution: OPOC.us conducted a detailed review of plan structure, claims utilization, and employee demographics and uncovered a clear mismatch: high premiums and low employee engagement. To fix it, OPOC redesigned the plan to better match how employees actually use their benefits—resulting in 95% of them no longer facing out-of-pocket costs. They also launched the OPOC CARE Center, offering one-on- one support to help employees navigate benefits and make smarter care decisions.
