Blue Shield made the decision to offer these enhanced programs in large part due to a pilot study that demonstrated a 3:1 Return on Investment for participating large group Blue Shield customers, as well as excellent member satisfaction and improved health outcomes. Program cost-effectiveness results are based on the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) experience in 2005 compared to 2004.
