Case Study: Fellowship Bible Church saves $1.5M and improves financial stewardship with ParetoHealth

Fellowship Bible Church saves $1.5M with ParetoHealth

Fellowship Bible Church, a nonprofit organization, faced a significant challenge with its fully insured health plan. Despite having a healthy employee population, the church's budget was strained by relentlessly rising premiums, which eroded their ability to be good financial stewards. They lacked claims visibility and were fearful that traditional self-funding would expose them to too much risk from a single catastrophic claim. Seeking a better strategy, they turned to vendor ParetoHealth.

ParetoHealth provided a solution by moving Fellowship to a self-funded plan through its employee benefits captive. This gave the church access to greater scale, transparency, and ParetoHealth's Risk Shield protections to cap cost volatility. Utilizing ParetoHealth's Savings Engine, they redirected dozens of high-cost surgical procedures to more affordable, high-quality providers. As a result, Fellowship Bible Church saved $1.5 million overall, including $190,000 on redirected procedures, achieving predictable costs and improved financial stewardship.
