Spring Health Delivers Long-Term Cost Savings For Mental Health Benefits

Employers now get a money-back guarantee on mental health investments, backed by the largest and longest ROI study in the industry.

NEW YORK, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring Health is raising the bar for employer-backed mental health benefits with its ROI performance guarantee—ensuring companies see increasing financial returns or get their money back*. This guarantee follows a landmark independent study from the Validation Institute, which confirms that Spring Health delivers long-term healthcare savings.

Guaranteed ROI, Year Over Year

Spring Health's performance guarantee sets a new industry standard, providing employers with measurable increasing multi-year financial accountability. Under this research-backed guarantee, companies can expect to see:

• Year 1: Cost neutrality—savings on healthcare claims match program costs.
• Year 2: 1.5x ROI—for every $1 spent, employers save at least $1.50.
• Year 3: 2x ROI—for every $1 spent, employers save at least $2.

"With medical trends expected to rise to the highest level in 13 years, CFOs are scrutinizing every dollar of spending, and they need proof that incremental investments will yield real return," said Dr. Adam Chekroud, Co-Founder and President of Spring Health. "Our commitment goes beyond delivering best-in-class technology and clinical care. With our performance guarantee, we remove financial risk and make investing in mental health a financially sound decision, year after year. Quality mental health care leads to better outcomes, and better outcomes drive sustained financial savings."

Validated Outcomes Driven by Clinical Excellence

Spring Health's multi-year ROI guarantee is based on the largest and longest-running ROI analysis in mental health. The independent study conducted by the Validation Institute tracked 31,899 individuals over 4 consecutive years. The results show a 2x net ROI in year 1 that grows to 3x net ROI in year 3. The research also found that Spring Health customers achieved a 21% net savings on mental healthcare spend, proving that getting members to the right care the first time lowers long-term, more costly treatment.

Dr. Mill Brown, Chief Medical Officer of Spring Health, emphasized the patient impact of these findings, noting, "This study validates what we see every day—when people receive fast access to high-quality, precise mental health care, their overall health improves. By ensuring employees get the right care at the right time, we're not just improving lives—we're changing the trajectory of healthcare costs."

Bringing Transparency to Mental Health Investments

Additionally, Spring Health's proprietary insights platform, Atlas, enables HR and finance leaders to track and forecast ROI in real time, providing unparalleled transparency and confidence in their mental health investment.

"For too long, investing in mental health has been seen as a cost rather than a strategic business decision," added Chekroud. "We've changed that narrative. Employers deserve certainty and transparency. Instead of waiting for year-end claims studies, Atlas gives organizations real-time visibility into their current and projected spend, savings, and ROI. This brings budget predictability and even smarter, data-driven business decisions."
