Economic Value
A transparent, data-driven approach to ROI and VOI
Modern Health helps organizations understand the full value of their mental health investment by combining independently evaluated ROI on health care costs with a broader Value on Investment (VOI) framework.
How we define value
Adaptive Care is embedded into how employees access support, connecting guidance, care, and insights across the workforce.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Impact on total health care costs (medical, behavioral health, pharmacy)
Value on Investment (VOI)
Broader value across outcomes, access, retention, and productivity
Equity as a foundation
Consistent, localized support across regions and cultures
A return on workforce mental health investment
$2.39
in estimated total health care savings per $1 invested
ROI on total health care costs
Our most recent ROI study found that employers can achieve up to an estimated $2.39 in health care savings for every $1 invested, based on medical, behavioral health, and pharmacy costs—net of the cost of Modern Health.
This analysis is grounded in:
Real member engagement
Validated clinical assessments over time
Independent actuarial evaluation
Matching care to need drives better outcomes— and better value
Modern Health’s Adaptive Care Model supports the full spectrum of needs and adjusts over time.
Where most health care savings come from
~60%
of total estimated health care savings came from employees with moderate mental health concerns—highlighting that the greatest opportunity for cost reduction comes from supporting the majority earlier, not just the highest-cost individuals.
Why this approach drives results
Modern Health’s Adaptive Care Model routes employees to the appropriate level of support, helping avoid unnecessary use of high-cost care while ensuring clinical support is available when needed.
Value beyond healthcare costs
Healthcare savings are one important value stream— but not the only one.
Modern Health also measures VOI signals that matter to organizations, including:
Retention
Engaged employees are more likely to stay, and stay longer
Absenteeism
Fewer missed workdays at scale
Workforce sustainability
Improved ability to show up consistently over time
A VOI framework built for digitally enabled care
Modern Health aligns its VOI approach to the American Medical Association’s Return on Health Framework, designed to evaluate digitally enabled health care solutions.
Health outcomes: Symptom severity and functioning Access and engagement: Early reach across the spectrum of need Experience: Ease of entry, continuity of care, and clinician workflows Workforce impact: Retention and absenteeism Global equity: Localization beyond translation
