Alegeus and The Difference Card Extend Partnership to Provide Impactful and Cost-Effective Benefits to Employers and Employees

Business Wire

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

A long-time Alegeus partner, The Difference Card is a healthcare disruptor whose mission is to provide employers and their employees with improved benefits at a lower cost. In fact, the organization reduces employer health insurance costs by nearly 20 percent on average, while also achieving a net promoter score (NPS) of 52, which is considered excellent. NPS measures the loyalty of customers to a company.
