Discover how one major employer took a fresh look at their maternal health strategy to tackle a challenge most benefit leaders know all too well: rising costs and unpredictable clinical outcomes.
By moving away from a "one-size-fits-all" plan and embracing a more proactive, data-driven approach, Koch, one of the largest U.S. manufacturing companies, didn't just hope for better results—they saw them. Through smarter risk identification and continuous support, they successfully reduced NICU stays by 31% and significantly lowered their C-section rates, showing that it's possible to support families better while protecting the bottom line.
