As employers brace for higher health insurance costs in 2025, it’s more important than ever for leaders to better manage behavioral health costs that continue to grow faster than medical inflation. Too often, employers have to choose between better care and lower costs when choosing a mental health benefit provider. Lyra has proven that more effective mental health care can be delivered more efficiently, and actually help bend the cost curve.
For almost 10 years, Lyra has provided both high-quality care and exceptional value. That’s why Lyra is doubling down on its ROI Performance Guarantee for network quality, now ensuring a 2:1 return in the first year, plus sustained savings in subsequent years by at least fully offsetting costs.
That means that for every $1 invested in Lyra, customers are guaranteed to achieve at least $2 in health care savings through reduced medical and pharmacy costs in the first year. For every subsequent year, investments in Lyra will be fully offset by decreased spending.
With this news, Lyra sets a new value standard in the industry. Not only does Lyra offer the highest ROI Performance Guarantee, but we’re also the only mental health solution to guarantee sustained savings.
“This powerful, multi-year performance promise is a reflection of the commitment to our customers to provide strong business results. We know this is essential in a climate with increasing health care costs and economic strains,” said Sean McBride, Lyra’s chief customer and revenue officer.
Our rigorous, data-driven methodology for measuring ROI is based on actual customer data and measured for statistical significance with 95% confidence. With Lyra, customers can feel confident in the integrity of their performance data.
Better results, in less time, at lower cost
Lyra’s superior clinical quality drives the best outcomes in the industry—9 out of 10 members get better. When people get evidence-based, culturally responsive care tailored to their unique mental health needs, they avoid costlier, unproven treatments that don’t lead to real improvement. Our investment in high-quality care allows us to promise consistent savings for our customers—even after accounting for Lyra costs.
How does your value model work?
Historically, health plans and employers have relied on session price to evaluate cost efficiency. However, the true cost to employers is the cost per member in care—driven by the total number of sessions a member completes and whether that care led to significant improvement or recovery.
Lyra takes a different approach. Because of our unwavering commitment to quality, we invest more per session on the providers in the Lyra network than health plans and EAPs. With a network of the highest quality providers, Lyra ensures members receive better care, resulting in reduced treatment duration, lower health care costs, and results that last.
In other words, would you rather pay $100 per session for 20 care sessions that result in limited to no outcomes or $200 per session for eight sessions that help a member achieve lasting clinical improvement and recovery?
Invest in Lyra with confidence
Lyra consistently delivers the highest ROI and sustained savings in mental health care. A recent independent longitudinal cost efficiency measurement study found that employers offering Lyra experienced an average of 26% reduction in sustained health care cost savings per year over a four-year span. And for a major Fortune 500 company, employees and dependents who used Lyra for mental health care spent $4,138 less per year than those who sought care through their health insurance or other providers.
Lyra’s mission is to improve access to effective and efficient mental health care for individuals and their families. Our multi-year ROI Performance Guarantee for network quality empowers benefits leaders to invest in life-changing care today while protecting their business year after year. We’re willing to bet our bottom line on it.
