When GI costs escalated, one health plan took a different approach.
A regional health plan was facing unsustainable GI-related spend.
Within 12 months of implementing Cylinder, claims-based results showed:
- 25% reduction in GI pharmacy spend.
- 46% decrease in inpatient facility costs.
- 41% fewer avoidable ED visits.
What made the difference?
Earlier triage, in-network care coordination, and whole-person GI support that reduced avoidable utilization while preserving access to appropriate therapy.
Download the case study to see how this health plan:
- Lowered drug spend without limiting access to biologics.
- Reduced ED and inpatient claims through earlier, plan-aligned intervention.
- Delivered meaningful savings without adding complexity for members or care teams.
