HEALTH EQUITY AT SCALE
Achieving Health Equity at Scale Isn’t Just a Goal — It’s a Responsibility
As a state agency, you have a significant responsibility: ensuring that health equity is not just a buzzword, but a tangible reality in every neighborhood. However, we understand that there are deep-rooted barriers to this goal—such as unequal access to services, overloaded systems, and community organizations that are stretched thin and lacking the technology and tools needed to meet demand. That’s where KokuaNet comes in — helping you achieve health equity at scale with locally matched SDOH services. We turn 1115 waiver and AEHAD investments into real outcomes through dynamic screening and performance-tracked referrals.
SDOH Intervention
Medicaid spends nearly $500 billion annually, and experts estimate 15-20% could be saved through Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) intervention (CMS, Commonwealth Fund).
Hospital Utilization
States with SDOH pilot programs have experienced a 10-15% reduction in high-cost hospital utilization. Early evaluations indicate return on investment ratios as high as 3:1, driven by reductions in emergency visits, readmissions, and long-term care placements (KFF – California Whole Person Care, AJMC).
Adequate Technology
Only 29% of CBOs report having the necessary technology to manage digital referrals. This lack of infrastructure can lead to delayed services, missed follow-ups, and underutilization of available community resources (California State University, Sacramento - CBO Survey, BMC Health Services Research).

KokuaNet: Cost vs Benefit Calculator for State Medicaid Agencies
Our interactive calculator helps state agencies estimate the impact and value of closing social needs gaps using KokuaNet’s closed-loop referral system. By entering your Medicaid enrollees and an average number of social needs, the tool estimates your total program cost using our pay-for-performance model. It then calculates projected healthcare savings — based on avoided ER visits, hospitalizations, and other costly outcomes — to show your net benefit and return on impact. This tool is designed to help states justify SDOH investments, strengthen 1115 Waiver proposals, and demonstrate measurable return- not only in financial savings, but in improved health outcomes and community well-being.
A data-driven tool to estimate program ROI by comparing investment costs with savings from improved Medicaid health outcomes.
Estimated Results include
- Projected program costs using our pay-for-performance model
- Estimated cost avoidance from fewer ER visits, hospitalizations, and preventable complications
- Improvements in Health equity tied to resolved gaps across ZIP codes and income levels
- Net return on investment to the state highlighting both the financial and human impact of investing in verified outcomes
