The Kansas City Collaborative (KC2), a three-year long value based benefit project, succeeded in helping the 15 participating employers share best practices for overcoming health care challenges. Nine of these companies reported that they have saved almost $11 million in direct health care costs by implementing a value-based benefits initiative.
The ambitious project, led by the non-profit Mid-America Coalition on Health Care, involved 400,000 Kansas City-area employees and their dependents. The National Business Coalition on Health and Pfizer Inc. supported the work.
