TelehealthWatch has published a cost optimization report highlighting how telehealth employee health plans reduce healthcare costs for small businesses. Flat-rate models at $39.95 monthly per employee cover families, eliminate copays and deductibles, and improve workforce productivity.
-- TelehealthWatch has published a cost optimization report revealing how telehealth employee health plans deliver financial advantages for small businesses while improving workforce productivity. The guide explains that by redirecting healthcare budget allocations toward flat-rate telehealth models, small businesses can achieve predictable spending while expanding access to care for employees and their families.

The report addresses a challenge facing small business owners and HR managers: traditional family health insurance premiums now average $1,500-$2,000+ monthly, creating substantial financial burdens. Employees in particular face burdensome health plans with deductibles often exceeding $3,000, copays between $25 and $75 per visit, and restrictive provider networks that limit care options.
In contrast, TelehealthWatch's research identifies an alternative model through flat-rate telehealth plans that provide unlimited access at predictable costs, addressing both employer budget concerns and employee healthcare anxiety.
As they explain, plans featuring robust telehealth infrastructure reduce absenteeism by enabling quick medical consultations, keeping employees at work rather than waiting in clinics. A Jefferson Health System study found that each avoided emergency department visit through telehealth results in savings up to $1,500. Employees also save an average of 2.9 hours in driving time and 1.2 hours in clinic time per visit, maintaining productivity that would otherwise be lost to healthcare appointments.
The report spotlights a recommended provider structure offering $39.95 per employee per month for unlimited access to telehealth services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with zero copays and zero deductibles. This flat-rate predictability eliminates budget surprises while covering not just the enrolled employee but also up to six family members under a single subscription.
This recommended telehealth model includes a service bundle within its flat-rate structure: unlimited telehealth consultations, mental health services, reduced pricing on prescription medication, vision and dental care, financial wellness resources, and identity theft protection. All services operate under an unlimited use model with zero copays, demonstrating value compared to traditional tiered insurance plans that ration care through high per-visit costs.
TelehealthWatch's report provides business case examples showing how avoiding even one employee turnover per year pays for telehealth plans multiple times over. When families have unlimited healthcare access, small issues receive prompt attention before escalating to emergency situations, reducing absenteeism and improving overall employee wellbeing. Implementation requires a simple sign-up with no complex paperwork and one flat monthly rate, making adoption straightforward for resource-constrained small businesses.
