- Friction in Payments
- Friction in Access
- Friction in Education
Our prepaid Medcard is the first step in breaking down these key friction points. We’ve demonstrated that with employer funds on various prepaid HRA vehicles we can improve the way employees get real value from the benefits their employer provides.
Our onsite COVID testing program has demonstrated that we can improve access to care by delivering certain healthcare services when and while employees are working. This approach is efficient, affordable, and builds trust and education directly to a worker that is otherwise difficult to engage with.
