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

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
