For Employers
A better way to guide your employees to better outcomes.
zReports Health is a simple plan addition. It scores every hospital, surgery center, IVF clinic, nursing home, and care facility in America from the official record, so your employees choose higher-quality, lower-cost sites of care inside the network you already have. No plan changes. No integration. Employees activate with a code.

Outcomes are decided long before the procedure. Two surgery centers minutes apart can differ sharply in post-procedure hospital visits and infection records. Two IVF clinics can show very different live-birth rates for the same age band. Two nursing homes can differ by decades in staffing and deficiency history. The record knows. Almost no family reads it at the moment of choice.
zReports Health puts that record in your employees' hands, scored and explained, so the higher-quality choice becomes the easy one.
What the record predicts, by kind of care
Hospitals & surgery
Fewer complications and readmissions
CMS publishes mortality, safety, and readmission measures for every certified hospital and post-procedure outcomes for every surgery center. Higher-rated sites carry fewer of the events that turn one episode into three.
IVF, dialysis, oncology
Fewer cycles, fewer admissions, better protocols
CDC live-birth rates by age, dialysis survival-versus-expected and infection ratios, accredited cancer programs: outcome data that separates the clinic you should choose from the one closest to home.
Nursing, rehab, home health
Fewer crises, faster recoveries
Staffing levels, deficiencies, penalties, and preventable-hospitalization records predict the placements that go quietly right, and the ones that become 2 a.m. phone calls to your employee.
Public quality measures describe facilities, not individual results. Your workforce's outcomes are measured in your own data, under our protocol.
Where better outcomes and lower cost meet
Doctor choice moves the decision. Facility choice moves the episode, and episodes are where healthcare spend lives. The same knee scope runs about $9,000 at a hospital outpatient department and about $4,500 at a top-rated surgery center eleven minutes away, often with the stronger infection record. Higher quality and lower cost are usually the same building.
Four decisions, one informed choice each
We explain the benefit in examples, because a family remembers a story and forgets a formula.
IVF
Choose the clinic on outcomes
Compare clinics on published federal live-birth data for the right age band, not marketing. One avoided cycle is roughly $18,000 to $20,000, plus weeks of leave that never appear on an invoice.
Cancer care
Same drug, very different bill
A hospital-owned infusion suite vs an accredited community cancer center is routinely a two to three times price difference across a course of treatment.
Ambulatory surgery
The center eleven minutes away
Same procedure, hospital outpatient department vs a top-zScore surgery center: roughly $3,000 to $8,000 per episode, hundreds of episodes a year in a mid-size workforce.
Therapy & behavioral
A real program vs a churn mill
The difference is relapse, readmission, and a family in crisis for months: $20,000 to $50,000 in claims, and a retained employee.
Figures are illustrative ranges from published price and outcome differences.
Half of a family's care decisions never enter a claims file
Claims-based tools optimize what they can see. A records-based score needs no claims feed, so the decisions below are covered too, and they land on your P&L as caregiver hours, absence, and turnover.
IVF, eldercare, addiction, child care. Every family will go through at least one.
| Family decision | Why claims-based tools cannot see it | Why the employer still pays |
|---|---|---|
| A parent's nursing home, hospice, or home health | Medicare's bill, not the plan's | The caregiving employee's hours, absence, and turnover |
| Therapy | Most therapists are cash-pay or out of network | Presenteeism, leave, attrition |
| Addiction treatment | Families pay cash, out of network, in crisis | Relapse cycles, FMLA, a family in crisis at a desk |
| IVF | Self-pay at most employers | Leave, stress, retention of the people building families |
| Care for a spouse or child on another plan | Only own-plan members are visible | Every bad decision routes home through the employee |
| Child care | Not a healthcare claim at all | Working-parent retention |
Outcomes you can measure
From day one
Engagement
Households enrolled, facilities checked, reports opened, pre-procedure checks. Reported quarterly, aggregates only.
In your data
Site of care and complications
Your analytics team compares members who checked against members who did not, in your own claims, under our protocol. We receive aggregates. We never touch PHI.
At renewal
The headline
“We moved X employees to facilities with stronger zScores.” Fewer complications, fewer readmissions, caregivers retained: the numbers that make the next renewal a short meeting.
AI Agents for Decisions Included
An employee asks: “What should we know about these three centers?” The agent answers from each facility's own record: the score, the outcomes, the questions worth asking before choosing care. Sourced, cited, never a verdict. Every household helped, 24/7, with no concierge payroll in your price.

How we partner with you
Keep your plan, carrier, and network
zReports Health sits alongside any plan design, fully insured or self-funded. Nothing changes for your carrier.
No integration, no eligibility file
You receive an employer code. It goes in your enrollment materials. Employees create their own account and activate it with their work email. Live in days.
Aggregates only, by design
You see enrollment, engagement, and checks by category. Never who checked what. Employees' accounts are their own, for life.
A small number of Founding Partner places are open for the 2027 plan year, with measurement rights and a published case study. Independence by architecture: no facility can edit, manage, or pay for a report.
Questions employers ask
How does this improve outcomes?
By changing which facility the episode happens in. Public quality data shows large differences between facilities in complications, readmissions, infections, live-birth rates, and staffing. When employees can see the record at the moment of choice, more episodes happen at the higher-quality site, and higher-quality sites are usually the lower-cost ones.
How is this different from tools that help employees find good doctors?
Those tools work at the doctor layer, from claims data. zReports Health works at the facility layer, from public records: the surgery center, the hospital, the clinic, the nursing home. Episodes happen in facilities, and so do the dollars. The two are complementary; we also cover the half of family decisions a claims engine cannot see.
Where do the savings come from?
Three places: site of care (the same procedure at a top-rated surgery center instead of a hospital outpatient department), fewer complications and readmissions from higher-quality facility choices, and the caregiver channel (the employee whose parent is placed well takes fewer crisis days and stays).
Do we have to change our plan, carrier, or network?
No. Nothing about your plan changes. The benefit sits alongside it.
What do you need from us to launch?
An employer code in your enrollment materials. No eligibility file, no integration, no IT project. Employees create their own accounts and activate the benefit with their work email.
Do you see our claims or any PHI?
No. We see facility checks by anonymous account, and you receive aggregate reporting. The outcome study runs in your own claims and HR data, by your team, under our protocol.
Does it cover an employee's parents, spouse, or children?
Yes. An employee can check any facility for anyone, including a parent on Medicare or a spouse on another plan. Those decisions are invisible to claims-based tools and very visible in your absence and turnover.
Can a facility pay to improve its score?
Never. No facility can edit, manage, or pay for a report. The methodology is published and DOI-registered.
How is it priced?
A simple per-employee-per-year price, everything included. We share it on a short call, along with the engagement commitment that comes with it.

A 15-minute call is enough to see whether it fits your population.
