Estimate usage and cost

Typically, by the end of year one, ~50-70% of employees create at least one case. On average, an employee creates 2.7 cases per year.

Here's an example 1000 person group with 50% of employees using Sherpaa:

500 people x 2.7 episodes of care = 1350 episodes of care per year

1350 episodes of care divided by 12 months = 112 episodes per month

112 episodes per month @ $100 per episode = $11,200 per month

Finally, after an employer is sold, here’s how to get the group set up with Sherpaa:
