Healthy Employees Mean Healthy Business

Keeping employees healthy results in boosting productivity and reducing the rate of missed work for any company. As a result, worker health is a rising priority in the business world.

The majority of adults spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else, making it increasingly practical for them to have access to routine healthcare in the workplace. Having a healthy staff also benefits employers, improving the financial stability and overall performance of a firm.

But how can a company afford such a luxury? With WhiteGlove House Call Health. WhiteGlove’s service is available to all employees, and their dependents, of participating companies, 365 days a year, 8am to 8pm. No matter when they call, how many times they call, where they are, or what routine medical need they have, employees and dependents pay a flat $35 a visit that includes medical care, generic Rx medications, foods, beverages, and over-the-counter remedies. The variable cost of routine care goes away and the total cost is far less because employees and dependents do not spend money on gas, parking, tolls, groceries, over-the-counters, Rx meds, and childcare.

There are two ways that companies can tap into this service – through their insurance or through a corporate membership.

· Insurance Paid Membership: Companies with Aetna or Humana health insurance in all service areas or UnitedHealthcare in Austin and San Antonio have included in their program membership for all covered employees. The employee simply has to logon to the WhiteGlove website and register. They only have to pay their applicable co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible depending on their plan
· Corporate Membership: Individual corporations can contract with WhiteGlove House Call Health to provide the service. The company will pay their employees’ membership fee, and the employee is responsible for the visit fee.
