You want proof that Lehigh Valley Flex Blue delivers?

Employers offering LVFB have seen claims and emergency room visits go down by 3%

No problem.

Since we launched Lehigh Valley Flex Blue (LVFB) over two years ago, employers who switched from their PPO plan have enjoyed on average:

  • more cost savings
  • healthier employees
  • better quality of care

But don’t take our word for it. Here are the stats that prove it.


Meanwhile, those who stuck with their PPO plans ...

Claims costs increased by 22% and ER visits increased by 27%

Need more proof?

  • LVFB plan members are 10% more likely to use Lehigh Valley Health Network providers.
  • And 13% more likely to receive preventive care vs. PPO plan members.

Let's break down what it all means.
