One School District. A Better Way to Pay for Care. $74K+ in Health Plan Savings.

When employees can pay for care, everyone wins — including your bottom line.

Public school districts operate on tight margins, and healthcare costs are one of the biggest pressures on any district budget. This Midwest public school district partnered with Paytient in July 2023 to find a solution that would make it easier for their workforce to pay for care at the moment it's needed — and the results tell a clear story.

Approach

For a public school district running on tight margins, every budget line has to pull its weight. Paytient did. In 2025, 22% of eligible employees used Paytient to cover out-of-pocket costs across medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, and veterinary care — with medical (33%) and pharmacy (31%) accounting for the lion's share of the $147K in total spend facilitated.

That engagement rate tells a simple story: employees got care they otherwise might have skipped. And when people stop deferring care, the health plan stops absorbing the cost of conditions that worsen in the waiting. In 2025, the result was $74,000+ in estimated direct health plan savings — and a 5:1 ROI relative to program cost. The district also breaks even on the program within three months, every year.

What members are saying:

“Paytient is a real lifesaver. They help with anything medical, dental, prescription, vision or veterinary by allowing me to charge it and then pay it back over time on a convenient plan.”
