Know what your workforce will cost before renewal.

EPHP is a free tool that projects expected annual healthcare cost and chronic-condition burden for any US workforce by ZIP, anchored to CDC PLACES prevalence and MEPS-derived cost coefficients. Need more depth? Custom analytics by gript.io.

The free tool

Three views into your population's risk.

Every projection is decomposed by ZIP, condition, and demographic mix, so you can defend the number, not just present it.

Workforce Projection

Enter ZIPs and headcount. Get expected annual cost, per-employee benchmark, and condition-level case load with geographic variation bands.

Geographic Explorer

Compare prevalence and cost across states, counties, and ZIPs. Identify hot spots before they become claims.

Condition Profiler

Drill into the ten conditions that drive employer health spend, with evidence-tiered estimates of care-management addressability.

How it works

From ZIP list to defensible projection in three steps.

01

Enter your population

Paste ZIP codes and employee counts, or import from a benefits census. Add age-band mix when you have it.

02

We anchor to public data

Each ZIP is matched to CDC PLACES tract-level prevalence; cost coefficients come from MEPS. No PHI required.

Custom analytics, by gript.io

EPHP is the tip of the iceberg.

The free tool covers ten conditions and ZIP-level cost. For deeper questions: total cost of care, SDOH, pharmacy, behavioral health, equity, gript.io builds the bespoke models, dashboards, and underwriting tools that sit on top of your own claims, eligibility, and HRA data.

Expanded condition coverage

Beyond the core ten, cancer screening cohorts, musculoskeletal, autoimmune, rare-disease panels, maternity, high-cost claimants, and behavioral health & SUD (prevalence, access gaps, virtual-care effectiveness, parity analytics, integrated-care ROI).

Health risk factors

Smoking, obesity, hypertension, lipid panels, A1c, sleep, physical inactivity, modeled as forward-looking cost drivers, not just point prevalence.

Total cost of care

Medical + Rx + behavioral, normalized per member per month, with trend, network, and benefit-design adjustments. Built to mirror your actuarial basis.

SDOH, equity & disparities

ZIP- and tract-level SDOH overlays, food access, housing stability, transportation, broadband, ADI, paired with outcome and access gaps by race, ethnicity, geography, and language to quantify disparities and target interventions defensibly.

Pharmacy & specialty Rx

GLP-1 trajectories, specialty pipeline exposure, biosimilar opportunity, PBM contract benchmarking, formulary impact modeling.

Claims-based calibration

Replace public-data anchors with your own claims to tune cost coefficients, validate projections, and build predictive risk scores.

Methodology

Public data. Transparent math. Auditable outputs.

We don't sell a black box. Every projection ships with its underlying prevalence inputs, cost coefficients, and the demographic adjustment applied, so your actuary, broker, or finance partner can reproduce it.

CDC PLACES (2024 release)
Tract-level prevalence for the 10 conditions driving employer spend.
MEPS-derived cost coefficients
Marginal annual cost per case, normalized to a 2024 dollar basis.
Evidence-tiered addressability
Per-condition care-management impact ranges from peer-reviewed literature.
No PHI required
Projections run on ZIP + headcount only.
