See what GI spend is hiding in your claims data

A free GI claims analysis is a review of your existing medical and pharmacy claims data that surfaces digestive health cost patterns your standard reporting may be missing. Cylinder analyzes GI-related spend, ER utilization, high-cost claimant cohorts, and inpatient admissions tied to digestive diagnoses — then delivers a presentation-ready report with projected ROI from earlier intervention. No PHI is required and there is no cost or obligation.

Only summary-level claims data is required — no PHI. Most employers and health plans can pull this as a standard export from their TPA or carrier. Cylinder's team will guide you through exactly what to share after you submit the request form.

Most analyses are completed within two weeks of data receipt. Cylinder delivers a presentation-ready report, followed by a strategic review call to walk through the findings and answer questions.

ROI projections are based on peer-reviewed outcomes data from a study published in The American Journal of Managed Care (January 2026), which found an 18% reduction in total medical and pharmacy spend among employer program participants. The methodology was independently validated by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Cylinder backs its projections with a 2:1 ROI guarantee.

The analysis is built for two primary audiences. Benefits and HR leaders who manage a covered population and want to understand where digestive health spend is hiding and what it would cost to address it. And brokers and consultants who advise on benefits strategy and want to bring a credible, data-backed analysis to client conversations. Health plans can also request an analysis for their covered populations.

GI conditions — including IBS, GERD, Crohn's disease, and non-specific abdominal symptoms — drive more than $136 billion in annual U.S. healthcare costs. For employers, much of this spend is invisible in standard reporting because it spreads across ER visits, repeat diagnostics, and specialty referrals that don't roll up to a single digestive diagnosis. The Cylinder learning center has additional resources on GI cost drivers and clinical evidence. Independent evaluations including the PHTI assessment of virtual GI solutions highlight the opportunity for employers and health plans to act earlier.

No. The claims analysis is completely free. There is no obligation to purchase a Cylinder program and no commitment required to receive the report.
