Case Study: Long Center for the Performing Arts achieves steady premiums and better employee care with Sana Benefits

Long Center for the Performing Arts - Customer Case Study

Long Center for the Performing Arts, the permanent home of Austin’s Symphony, Opera, and Ballet, was frustrated by years of changing health insurers and weak member support. In early 2020, the organization’s people leader began looking for a better health benefits solution—one that would offer stronger value, easier administration, and benefits that felt meaningful to employees.

The Long Center chose Sana Benefits for its All-Access network, $0 health and wellness offerings, and responsive support, while also streamlining HR administration through integration with Zenefits. With Sana Benefits, premiums stayed steady and the company received a 0% rate increase in 2021, enabling it to cover 100% of the base plan and pass savings to employees. Employees also gained access to no-cost primary care on most plans, lower prescription costs, and better overall support.
