Use this PDF to frame an employer, advisor, or TPA conversation around savings logic, clinical governance, member suitability, and annual opportunity.
A CFO-ready example showing how one eligible knee replacement could create meaningful plan savings through a clinically governed China COE pathway.
Illustrative only. Actual savings depend on procedure category, plan design, allowed amounts, member eligibility, travel suitability, clinical review, facility selection, and implementation costs. Savings are estimates, not guarantees.
