Backed by $100,000 guarantees, independent third party confirms selected Personify Health programs improve healthcare spend, utilization, and biometrics
Providence, R.I., March 26, 2025 – Personify Health, the company making healthier easier, today announced that Validation Institute has confirmed that two studies accurately measure improvements in health costs and outcomes for groups using Personify Health programs. Validation Institute, an independent third-party organization validating results of healthcare solution providers, is providing up to a $100,000 guarantee on the accuracy of these claims. The Validation Institute team evaluated:
- An actuarial study of Personify’s care and cost management programs that showed cost savings and better healthcare utilization, and
- A member analysis that demonstrated biometric improvement for high-risk health areas for engaged members in Personify’s wellbeing program, linked to lower costs.
“Congratulations to Personify Health on its successful validations. At a time when healthcare costs are skyrocketing, it’s critical for companies to prove their claims – and that’s exactly what they did with both of these studies,” said Al Lewis, CEO and founder at Validation Institute. “Employers looking to better manage their employee health programs and see beneficial outcomes should certainly give Personify Health and these studies a look.”
Personify’s Care and Cost Management Programs Improve Health Costs and Utilization
Validation Institute reviewed the results of an independent actuarial study issued in 2024, demonstrating that key Personify Health programs drove significantly lower healthcare costs for members compared to the same-year market average. The analysis evaluated more than 729,000 Personify members vs. a similar non-member benchmark group from a national dataset.
Validation Institute confirmed that groups using Personify Health’s suite of cost and care management programs had 23% lower allowed costs per member per month (PMPM) than the benchmark. These programs included Payment Integrity, Coordination of Benefits, Advocacy and Coaching, and Emergency Room Solutions. Specific validated claims vs. the benchmark included much lower out-of-network utilization, a higher rate of urgent care use vs. ER use, and a greater ratio of outpatient to inpatient settings overall.
Personify Drives Better Health Outcomes Among High-Risk, High-Cost Members
Validation Institute also reviewed the results of a one-year, 90,000+ member analysis demonstrating that Personify Health program members improved their body mass index (BMI), hypertension, and high blood glucose. These indicators of metabolic syndrome increase a person’s risk of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke – top causes of death in the United States and drivers of hundreds of billions of dollars in health costs and lost productivity. The study evaluated members who took a defined action to improve their health, such as base number of steps or coaching sessions vs. those who did not.
Validation Institute confirmed that participants in Personify’s wellbeing program lowered their blood pressure, BMI, or blood glucose levels more than similar members who did not actively participate. These improvements are linked to lower medical costs.
“It is incredibly valuable to receive Validation Institute’s confirmation that Personify Health solutions demonstrate tangible improvements in both health outcomes and cost savings,” said Dr. Jitana Bagomolny, DNP, MBA, vice president, care management solutions at Personify Health, the first and only platform company to bring together holistic wellbeing, care navigation, and flexible health plan administration. “This validation reinforces our commitment to providing clients with trusted, data-driven solutions that not only enhance the health of their employees but also contribute to significant financial savings. Employers should feel confident turning to Personify Health to optimize their healthcare strategies and create lasting benefits for their workforce and bottom line.”
