Why Are Super Utilizers So Important?

When a famous criminal, Willie Sutton, was asked why he robbed banks, his answer proved short and sweet.

He replied, “Because that’s where the money is”.

In their book “Cracking Health Costs” Tom Emerick and Al Lewis embarked on a mission to save companies and employees money by reducing health care costs. To begin this quest they had to answer the all-encompassing question….“What drives costs?”

This question required a solution-based approach, in which they found that the real-life “robbers” were the less than 20% of employees that were responsible for 80% of claim costs. The healthcare industry calls these robbers “Super-Utilizers”.
