Measuring the ROI of advanced primary care in Missouri
New ROI analysis shows measurable savings, improved outcomes, and more predictable healthcare spend through a proactive care model
Across Missouri, organizations are in a tough spot as healthcare costs rise. Many leaders are forced to trim benefits or shift costs to their people. Now, more are turning to advanced primary care (APC)—a model shown to yield measurable return on investment (ROI).
This eBook unpacks key findings from Marathon Health’s nationwide ROI analysis, exploring how APC pays off and what it has meant for Missouri.
Organizations save with APC
-
Near- and long-term returns. Nationally, APC paid for itself in year one. By year five, ROI jumped to 3.7x thanks to a proactive care approach that impacts long-term health outcomes and total costs.
-
Stronger cost control. 42.5% fewer members crossed the high-cost claim threshold when engaged with APC, helping employers keep people healthy and control costs.
-
Less overall spend. In Missouri, participating employers saved $217K+ in referral avoidance and helped members save $86K+ in out-of-pocket expenses, in part due to reduced costly downstream care.
What sets APC apart is that it doesn't reinvent the fundamentals—it delivers them with greater consistency through timely access, continuity between patients and providers, and whole-person care.
