24/7 virtual healthcare that drives loyalty, not overhead
Direct2Care helps Operators support their teams with a healthcare benefit that’s simple to offer and even easier to use. Recognized as a preferred vendor of the GIOA, it’s affordable, fast to launch, and available at no cost to team members. No insurance required.
The challenge you know too well
Healthcare benefits have been out of reach for many. When your best team member calls out because they can’t afford a $600 urgent care visit, it hurts more than just your schedule. It goes against everything you believe about taking care of people.
The reality every Operator faces
Your team deserves more than you can traditionally offer, forcing them to make difficult choices.
Choosing between rent and taking sick leave
Missing shifts because basic care costs too much
Losing good people to employers who offer benefits you can’t match
Watching your culture suffer when you can’t offer support
How it works for your people
Direct2Care gives your team affordable access to the care they need, without the barriers of insurance or high out-of-pocket costs. It’s support that keeps them healthy, present, and able to give their best on and off the job.
Everyday care
From colds to managing chronic conditions, team members can connect with licensed providers for routine or urgent visits without the wait.
Mental health services
Support your team’s whole well-being with professional counseling and crisis support when they need it most.
Workplace injury triage
Immediate triage for workplace injuries helps protect both your people and your business while reducing workers’ comp costs.
