How Revival Health gets paid.
Two fees. Both land in year one, both are tied to savings we document — and both are in writing before you commit to anything. If you don't save money, you don't pay us.
The engagement retainer
Covers the full diagnostic — both models built and documented, the findings presentation, and implementation of the path you choose. And it's backed in writing: if documented savings don't meet or exceed your guaranteed figure within the first plan year, the retainer is refunded in full.
The performance fee
Charged only on dollars we actually save you — after the savings are realized, never before. If there are no savings, there's no fee, because there's nothing to take a percentage of.
After year one: nothing.
The savings keep going — roughly five years in a typical engagement — and we charge nothing more. No renewal fee, no ongoing percentage, no second retainer. Every dollar saved in years two through five is yours.
You never pay unless you're saving money — and the guarantee that makes that true is in writing before you spend a dollar.
From kickoff to a guaranteed number.
A clear, documented sequence. You see both paths the whole way, and you choose at the end.
Two analyses, side by side
We run two parallel analyses — one inside the traditional employer model, one with individually-owned coverage. You see both options from day one. We let the data tell the story.
We model both paths in full
We build both models with complete documentation — every assumption and every number shown. Nothing is hidden, and nothing is decided yet.
What's possible on each path
We present the documented savings for both paths, side by side. You see exactly what each option delivers — and you choose the one that's right for your company.
We lock in your number
Once you choose, our offer letter locks in the guaranteed savings figure for your path — backed in writing by a money-back guarantee.
The retainer isn't a fee. It's a guaranteed return.
Once your diagnostic is complete and you've chosen your path, our offer letter locks in a guaranteed minimum savings figure for your first plan year. The retainer is $30,000 — stated in the same breath as the return it delivers.
A guaranteed minimum savings figure
Stated in dollars for your first plan year — not a percentage, not a projection.
Retainer and return, one sentence
$30,000 in, a documented multiple of that back. The math is the offer.
A 12-month performance window
If documented savings don't meet or exceed the guarantee within your first plan year, your retainer is refunded in full. No questions asked.
What you keep after every fee — illustrative, from the sample diagnostic
200-life group · $3M annual spend
An illustrative diagnostic — what each path documents, and what you keep after our fees.
| Track A — Optimized Employer | Track B — Employee-Owned | |
|---|---|---|
| Current annual spend | $3,000,000 | $3,000,000 |
| Savings on your plan | 20% · $600,000 | 28% · $840,000 |
| New annual healthcare spend | $2,400,000 | $2,160,000 |
| Engagement retaineryear 1 only | −$30,000 | −$30,000 |
| Performance fee · 25% of savingsyear 1 only | −$150,000 | −$210,000 |
| Net savings you keep, year 1 | $420,000 | $600,000 |
Illustrative example for design — not a quote, projection, or tax, legal, or medical advice. Both fees apply in year one only: the retainer is refunded if we miss your guarantee, and the 25% applies only to dollars actually saved. No savings, no fees. Actual figures depend on your diagnostic.
The 5-year picture
Both fees land in year one only. Years 2–5 carry the full savings with no retainer and no performance fee — the savings keep compounding while our cost stays behind in year one.
| Net savings you keep | Track A — Optimized Employer | Track B — Employee-Owned |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1after retainer + 25% fee | $420,000 | $600,000 |
| Year 2 | $600,000 | $840,000 |
| Year 3 | $600,000 | $840,000 |
| Year 4 | $600,000 | $840,000 |
| Year 5 | $600,000 | $840,000 |
| Net savings over 5 years | $2,820,000 | $3,960,000 |
Illustrative — assumes savings hold flat for years 2–5 and no further fees. Actual figures depend on your diagnostic.
