Alight, Inc. (NYSE:ALIT), a leading benefits administration provider of health, wealth and leave solutions, has received independent substantiation from the Validation Institute for Alight’s Healthcare Navigation solution in the categories of Savings and Contractual Integrity. This third-party validation is based on an assessment of employer medical claims and demonstrates credible proof that Alight delivers lower-cost provider guidance while maintaining quality standards.

The savings validation is based on a review of over 713,000 medical cases over the course of five years where members engaged with Alight Healthcare Navigation. Savings results are based on actual allowed medical claims, with comparisons derived from either employer-specific claims data for similar cases or market-based benchmarks, depending on the member’s point of engagement. The Validation Institute determined that the claim of $296M in savings was measured with the most valid metrics used in employee population health outcomes. These include:

27.9% savings when Alight engaged participants at the beginning of their care journey
13.7% savings when a participant had already started their care journey

Additionally, Savings Validation is backed by an ERISA Immunity guarantee of up to $100,000, a promise that Alight’s validation fairly represents the claims of the Health Navigation solution. Read the full Savings Validation report here .

The Validation Institute also certified Alight in the category of Contractual Integrity, which validates metrics used in contracts to reflect actual outcomes and savings. This means that when all program requirements are met, Alight will guarantee a dollar-for-dollar direct savings-to-cost return on investment. Savings are based on participation and treatment verification, as well as cost calculations for participants enrolled in its Surgery Decision Support (SDS) Program.

"The Validation Institute’s independent review affirms that Alight’s Healthcare Navigation delivers real, measurable savings for our clients grounded in actual claims, not projections," said Karen Frost, Alight’s Senior Vice President, Health and Navigation Solution Leader. "Alight is focused on driving lasting, long-term value for our clients and their people. The Validation Institute’s findings of both our savings and our contractual integrity reinforces that employers can trust Alight’s service and operational excellence."

Alight Healthcare Navigation combines engagement, data and clinical guidance to steer employees toward efficient, high-quality care through the Alight Worklife® platform. By connecting patients with the experts and information they need, employees and employers can see better outcomes.

The Validation Institute found that cost reductions are primarily driven by connecting members with providers who demonstrate a consistent ability to deliver high-value care. These providers typically:

Use less intensive care pathways, helping members avoid unnecessary surgeries, imaging and other high-cost interventions.
Make higher-quality referrals and maintain privileges at facilities known for strong outcomes.
Emphasize preventative care to better manage chronic conditions and reduce downstream complications.
Diagnose and treat in-office whenever appropriate, minimizing avoidable specialist visits or procedures.

This rigorous methodology ensures that reported savings reflect real, validated financial impact for employers while highlighting the role of high-performing providers in improving both cost and care quality.

"Alight’s savings claims are both substantial and valid, backed by our $100,000 ERISA Immunity guarantee," said Al Lewis, founder of the Validation Institute and a leading authority on measuring employee benefits vendor outcomes.
