-- The newly published resource provides actionable strategies for implementing Doctor On Demand benefits that can improve employee healthcare access while potentially reducing operational costs—a critical need in an industry where workers often face limited insurance coverage, high out-of-pocket expenses, and barriers to timely medical care.

This guide addresses an urgent need in the broader retail industry, namely, productivity loss relating to healthcare-related absenteeism. A CirrusMD case study documented how one national retailer was able to improve job satisfaction while also achieving $1.064 million in productivity savings with an ROI of 1.3:1 by offering virtual care services to uninsured and unenrolled workers. For grocery stores competing in tight labor markets, healthcare access has become a retention and productivity issue rather than merely a supplemental benefit.
Doctor On Demand, as the guide details, is a popular provider of telehealth services, widely regarded as one of the best choices for the uninsured thanks to their $99-per-visit flat-rate pricing model. The company allows patients to connect directly with licensed doctors capable of advising on a range of conditions, which could save time for those in need of urgent evaluation and lead to better healthcare outcomes.
The new publication also highlights Allutional as a possible alternative to Doctor On Demand; the service offers unlimited 24/7 access for $39.95 per month per employee with zero copays, zero deductibles, and coverage for the employee plus up to seven additional family members. This service is an example of the many reasons why robust access to remote care must be at the core of any benefits program, TelehealthWatch explains.
Regardless of which option retailers may choose, TelehealthWatch explains that the competitive advantages of telehealth programs for businesses extend beyond the financial realm. Virtual care improves employee health, satisfaction, and retention—outcomes that reduce turnover costs in an industry where replacing a single employee can range from several thousand dollars to significant percentages of annual salary, depending on the position.
Grocery store owners and HR managers can access the Implementation Guide through TelehealthWatch, which has designed the resource to address industry challenges around employee healthcare and retention. The guide provides the practical framework needed to roll out virtual care benefits that improve access while controlling costs.
