Trade Association Cuts Costs by 12%, Doubles Benefit Value, and Gains Long-Term Stability

OPOC.us Approach

Challenge: A national trade association was facing rising healthcare costs, high employee out-of-pocket exposure, and a lack of centralized support.

 

With average per-employee costs approaching $27K annually, the organization was stuck in a traditional renewal cycle with no strategic plan—leading to low engagement, poor preventive utilization, and increasing budget strain.

 

Approach: OPOC.us conducted a complete audit of healthcare spend, plan design, and employee experience. We implemented a Strategic Planning + CARE model to realign the benefits plan around actual usage—cutting unnecessary costs and optimizing value.

 

They also launched a dedicated CARE Center, providing employees with direct, one-on-one support to make smarter decisions and reduce claims burden.
