Garner Health

For the last three years, PAISBOA Health Benefit Trust faced double-digit medical renewals. They needed a way to provide better quality care at a lower cost to teachers at over 150 schools in Pennsylvania, without narrowing the network. That's where Garner came in. Getting Garner in place was the easy part. Rolling it out was harder. Their member schools don't share a central benefits team, or an all-member email, so it wasn't one launch. It was one for every school they work with. On August 18 at 2pm ET, Heather Gelting, MS, SPHR, SHRM-SCP (Executive Director of PAISBOA Health Benefit Trust) joins Katherine Wang of Garner Health to dive into the specific member engagement tactics they've used to drive sign-ups and utilization ahead of open enrollment.

When Anthropic wants to show what company wide Claude Code adoption looks like, they point to Garner. Claude Code isn't just for our engineers. All 550 Garner employees use it to automate the most repetitive parts of their jobs, connected to the systems we already work in every day. For our engineering team, it's gone further: a standardized development process built around auto mode, so people spend less time monitoring and more time building. We're excited to keep working with Anthropic, implementing the newest Claude Code features as they roll out to help Garner stay ahead.

Most employers assume lowering healthcare costs means changing plan design, narrowing options, or asking members to sacrifice quality. With Garner, it doesn't have to. Garner identifies the best-performing doctors in your existing network using 550+ clinical metrics across a dataset of 320M+ patients, then reimburses members when they see them. The result: better care for employees and 12% lower plan costs on average.

Everyone claims their solution lowers healthcare costs. Garner's savings are independently verified.

The findings: → 7.4% lower medical spend in the first year → $345 lower spend per member per year → $648 PMPY decrease for members with two or more chronic conditions → Zero plan design changes These employers kept their existing networks and benefits intact, and employees paid less out of pocket by seeing Top Providers.

Benefits leaders are heading into 2027 planning with the same challenge: healthcare spend is rising faster than budgets can absorb. The typical options of cutting benefits or shifting costs to employees create new problems instead of solving the underlying one. Garner takes a different approach. By steering members to the best-performing doctors already in your existing network, our clients see an average 12% reduction in total plan costs in the first year. See what that could mean for your organization. Our savings calculator gives you a personalized estimate in minutes: https://lnkd.in/ewZKkdmu
