A nonprofit health system serving a remote mountain region faced mounting financial pressure, a 41% drop in internal care utilization, and fragmented vendor contracts across HR and clinical operations.

BENAT Advisory Services performed a comprehensive benefit, pharmacy, and workforce assessment, identifying seven underused profit centers and key access failures driving leakage to outside providers. We built a buy-vs-build model that redirected $4.9M of care back into the system and deployed our 340B optimizer, which achieved a 96.4% claim qualification rate and reduced pharmacy costs by nearly 60%.

A major workforce overhaul included new leave management governance, interim leadership support, and the introduction of standardized compliance processes. Critical position fill times dropped from 120+ days to just 22. Lawsuits tied to leave abuse were eliminated completely.

• 47% Reduction in Total Health Plan Costs
• $6M+ Annual Plan Savings and $2.4M in New Net Revenue
• 94,000 Hours of Lost Time Eliminated
• Zero Leave-Related Legal Actions Post-Implementation

The result was a financially stabilized health system that transformed HR and benefits from a cost center into a profit contributor.
