Independent Validation That Opens Doors.
Validation Institute helps healthcare solution providers stand out with third-party verification that your solution works — earning the trust of employers, brokers, and consultants. With validation, you’re not just another vendor. You’re the proven choice.
Here’s what you gain:
✅ Verified proof your solution delivers real results
✅ Credibility with employers, brokers, and consultants
✅ A competitive edge in crowded RFPs

Validation Institute’s Founder and CEO, Al Lewis, author of the seminal textbook Why Nobody Believes the Numbers, is universally considered the leader in vendor outcomes measurement. His work has been prominently featured in FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s bestselling book The Price We Pay, and in a Harvard Business School case study on the topic – making him the only thing that the Trump Administration and Harvard agree on.
A product/solution has produced and replicated a lower cost for healthcare overall, or a specific component of healthcare. Validation Institute verifies an actual net reduction of healthcare spend, including the program cost.
A product/solution has measurably “moved the needle” on an outcome of importance, but one that can’t readily be translated into net savings. This validation is of a reduction of healthcare spend, but not necessarily net savings including the cost of the provider.
A claim is made that, with sourced, overridable assumptions linked to peer-reviewed or government sources, the intervention in question would save money or improve outcomes.
Outcomes or savings have not yet been delivered, but a vendor is willing to put a part of its fees “at risk.
Validation Institute authenticates the vendor’s contract language for putting itself at risk for outcomes, savings, or both.
A benefits firm or advisor operates on a fee-only basis with no vendor compensation. Validation Institute confirms adherence to ERISA-aligned fiduciary standards — ensuring unbiased guidance and reduced employer risk. Backed by a $100,000 Credibility Guarantee.
Early-stage companies get 75% off for a full outcomes or contractual validation — same rigor, same $100,000 Credibility Guarantee. If you raise funds or close a sale, you owe the balance. If not, you keep the validation and credibility boost with the standard annual fee.
Cut costs, boost outcomes, and stand out with the Certified Health Value Professional (CHVP) designation—designed for benefits managers, CFOs, and HR leaders who want to lead with confidence.
If you’re responsible for your company’s health plan, you could be personally liable for compliance failures. The Validated Fiduciary certification gives you and your team the knowledge and tools to stay compliant and protect yourself and your organization.
