## Proven to Drive High-Value Referrals

A rigorously evaluated, large-market deployment of Clarify’s Practice IQ program showed that physician-focused, behavioral economics–based interventions significantly improved referrals to high-value settings and delivered measurable cost savings — all while preserving clinical autonomy and minimizing administrative burden.

### THE CHALLENGE

- The same procedure can cost 5x more depending on site-of-service (e.g., hip replacement in Dallas: $20K–$98K)
- Price transparency tools for patients have limited reach and low utilization
- Referral patterns are entrenched — unless you engage the physicians who drive them
