1 JAMA Network Open (2025). This study included 13,990 participants: 4,907 of 4,949 (99.1%) eligible program group members were matched to 9,083 control participants. Their mean (SD) age was 37 (13.2) years, and most participants (65.5%) were female. Costs decreased in the program group relative to the control group, with a net difference-in-differences of −$164 PMPM (95%CI, −$228 to −$100 PMPM), corresponding to savings of $1070 per participant in the first program year and a return on investment of 1.9 times the costs (ie, every $100 invested reduced medical claims costs by $190).
