A new <\/span>Premise Health<\/span> study of 207,000 eligible lives, one of the largest sample sizes ever assessed in the direct healthcare industry, has confirmed that employees, union members, and dependents who use Premise for advanced primary care save on average $2,434, or 30%, annually on their total cost of care compared to those who access care in their communities. The study was conducted by direct healthcare provider Premise using a methodology validated by Milliman, an internationally recognized actuarial and consulting firm. The study<\/span> analyzed data across 26 employers in 11 industries, including manufacturing, finance, software and tech, and labor unions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
