  • Decrease staff burnout through consultation and care planning

Return on Investment (ROI)

The ROI below is grounded in published transportation rate structures and CMS‑evaluated hospitalization‑reduction models. Facility‑specific savings vary by census, acuity, mileage, transfer rates, and staffing.

Baseline Loss Drivers (Large Facilities)

  • Transportation (NEMT): Base ($25–$250), mileage ($3–$10/mi), wait ($15–$30/30 min) → $150–$300+ / round trip Ecolane
  • Facility Responsibility: Many routine transports during Part A stay are the facility’s responsibility (limited exclusions) Novitas, Medicare booklet
  • Behavioral Health Requirement: Provide necessary behavioral health services for highest practicable psychosocial well‑being 42 CFR §483.40

Documented Impact of On‑Site Clinical Capacity

  • Avoidable Hospitalizations: INTERACT II ~17% fewer admissions; Evercare‑style ~47% fewer admissions / ~49% fewer ED visits 1, 2
  • Revenue Recapture: ~$500,000/year per 200 beds from avoided non‑billable days 9

Estimated Annual Savings by Cost Area (Large Facility)

Cost AreaConservative Estimate (Annual)Notes
Transportation Fees$60,000 – $120,000NEMT usage × rate bands 5, 6
Staff Time & Overtime$25,000 – $50,000Escorts, coverage gaps
Avoided Hospitalizations & ED Transfers$25,000 – $50,000+On‑site models reduce transfers 1, 2
Risk & Liability ExposureSignificant (variable)Hard costs + survey exposure

Transport Savings — Calculation Notes

  • Assumption: Avoid 10–20 trips/week × ~50 weeks × $150–$300+ = $75,000–$300,000+ direct transport avoidance.
  • Conservative display: $78,000–$312,000 Ecolane

Annual Investment vs. Direct Savings

Adding hospitalization‑avoidance and revenue‑recapture typically lifts total net benefits into the six figures—especially at larger census 1, 2, 9.
