How Pella DFW Achieved 71% Preventive Care Utilization With Reperio Health

For Pella DFW, preventive health screenings weren’t optional.
Employees must complete required diagnostics to qualify for preferred wellness premium rates.

But historically, participation was difficult.
Completing screenings meant taking time off work, scheduling a doctor’s appointment, and navigating traditional healthcare friction.

Pella DFW and HR Manager, Wendy Wilson, needed a better way to:

✓ Increase participation

✓ Support compliance

✓ Reduce downstream costs from undetected health risks

Read on for Pella DFW's Reperio success story.

The insight: access determines engagement—and engagement determines cost

The Pella DFW team recognizes that early risk detection is one of the few levers that actually influences long-term healthcare costs. Chronic conditions like hypertension, obesity, and metabolic disease drive a disproportionate share of claims—but only if they go unmanaged.

The challenge isn’t motivating employees. It is making preventive care easy enough to complete.

The solution: eliminate inconvenience from required screenings

Pella DFW partnered with Reperio to offer ReperioKit™, an at-home preventive screening kit with instant results that removes the need for clinic visits entirely.

Pella DFW employees could complete the required diagnostics at home over 8 months, on their own schedule.

“Reperio helps them get their health data conveniently without having to take time off for a doctor appointment.”

Reperio supported the launch with structured planning, sample communications, and ongoing support to ensure a smooth rollout.

“Reperio has been a great partner… organized, supportive, and provided helpful sample communications.”

*Note: For this program, employees could also complete required diagnostics onsite via ReperioKit, at a one-time screening event, without leaving work.

The results: 71% activation—and real impact

71% of eligible employees completed screenings - far exceeding typical engagement rates for employer-sponsored screenings.

This level of activation matters because it unlocks both cost control and employee savings.

+ Employees saved $300–$600 per year—just by having access to ReperioKit™.

By making required screenings easy to complete, employees can qualify for preferred wellness premium rates without taking time off or incurring additional costs.

“This saves employees $300–600 per year in wellness rate savings alone.”

That’s meaningful, immediate value—reinforcing participation and satisfaction.

"Reperio has been a great partner in launching this service to our employees. They’ve been organized, supportive, and provided helpful sample communications. Our employees have really enjoyed the technology and appreciate the convenience of managing their health in this way.

It's a win-win!"

Wendy Wilson, HR Manager, Pella DFW

Early risk visibility enables proactive cost management

High preventive care participation can give employers reliable, population-level visibility into health risks.

This helps employers to:

→ Identify emerging health risks before they escalate into high-cost claims

→ Segment populations for targeted preventive and wellness initiatives

→ Shift from reactive claims management to proactive intervention planning

This level of visibility is what allows preventive care to function as a true healthcare cost-control lever, rather than a compliance exercise.

Reperio makes preventive care easy, accessible, and high-impact for your people—wherever they are.
