-- TelehealthWatch has released a new guide covering the current market for on-demand employee health services. The publication offers insights for business owners and HR managers to make informed decisions for their organizations and to overcome financial challenges related to healthcare benefits.

This guide was created in response to recent statistics indicating that employers anticipate an average increase of 6.5% to 9% in health benefit costs per employee in 2026. This projection is potentially the highest jump since 2010, even after accounting for planned cost-reduction strategies.
In response to these escalating expenses, research shows 59% of employers are planning to implement cost-cutting measures for 2026. Adding on-demand health services is one strategy for managing these expenses, while crucially also improving the overall employee benefits package, rather than reducing benefits.
Supporting employee health is a key strategy for talent attraction and retention, with employers increasingly viewing this support as a priority for increasing talent retention. The new publication from TelehealthWatch is a tool to help companies build a more competitive benefits package by comparing the most popular options available.
Specifically, the guide provides a detailed breakdown of the key factors that businesses prioritize when selecting a health plan. It analyzes different pricing models and copay structures, such as $0 options versus per-visit fees. The material also covers the importance of 24/7 availability and the inclusion of services like mental health support and telehealth services.
TelehealthWatch explains that a well-chosen plan should give employees access to immediate, around-the-clock access to medical professionals for non-emergency issues without leaving home, for savings on out-of-pocket costs like copays and travel expenses.
Equally important, says the guide, is the fact that these employee benefits can translate into returns for the business. Companies may see cost savings through reduced absenteeism and lower claims on primary health insurance plans, as well as increased engagement and productivity.
"Businesses are dealing with a complex situation of rising healthcare costs while striving to provide good care for their teams," added a spokesperson for TelehealthWatch. "Our new comparison guide is a resource for modern companies. It helps them balance fiscal responsibility with the need for strong employee support."
