Ease, Engagement, and ROI: What 3 Years of Data Taught Us

What happens when you make healthy eating truly easy—no judgment, no confusion, no extra steps? People do it. They stick with it. And their medical bills drop.

Over the past three years, Healthrageous partnered with leading Medicare Advantage plans to study the effects of our Made Easy Meals program—meals designed for cardio-metabolic health paired with behavioral engagement nudges that guide and reinforce healthy habits. We tracked over 28,000 lives, using rigorous methodology, claims data, and matching controls.

The Results? Undeniable.

Across three years, the data tells a consistent story: ease drives healthy eating and engagement, and this combination drives real savings in ER and inpatient costs.

Fewer admits per member

ER: 0.045 lower (p=2.46E-04)

IP: 0.078 lower (p=1.24E-07)

Why It Works: Remove the Friction, See the ROI

Traditional "eat better" programs ask a lot: planning, shopping, cooking, and willpower. Healthrageous removes those barriers by making healthy eating effortless. We deliver meals clinically aligned for chronic condition management—low sodium, heart-healthy, and balanced—and we pair them with digital engagement that nudges members to choose healthier habits.

When members feel supported, they engage:

  • 3x higher program participation than typical wellness offerings
  • Up to 34% fewer inpatient visits
  • 87% of members feel more supported by their plan: "I felt like my health plan had my back."

A Unique Marketplace Advantage

Healthrageous Made Easy Meals is not just a meal program. It’s a clinically-informed, behaviorally smart approach to building trust, sustaining healthy behavior, and lowering medical expense. We don’t just deliver food—we deliver results targeted to solve your plan's needs.

And unlike “flex card” or “meal stipend” approaches, our solution is fully turnkey, compliant, and scalable across MA, SNP, and Medicaid populations.

It's Time for Made Easy Meals to Be the Default

If you're managing benefits for:

  • Post-discharge transitions
  • Chronic condition populations
  • Supplemental benefits in Medicare Advantage
  • 1115 waiver programs in Medicaid

…then Made Easy Meals should be your go-to standard.

This isn’t a pilot anymore. It’s a proven intervention that drives better outcomes, saves money, and earns member trust.
