Missed shifts and high turnover among your hourly workers can be costly. Stand out and retain your frontline workforce with River Health, an affordable health benefits plan designed specifically for hourly employees.
River Health is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and small businesses.


Hourly workers often struggle to afford traditional health insurance. National surveys indicate that the average hourly worker must spend approximately 25% of their income to obtain affordable health benefits.
River Health is an affordable plan for hourly workers. Our clients see 22% better retention and 30% fewer missed shifts because workers can afford to get care and feel valued enough to stay.
"The River Health plan replaced an under-utilized benefit. Since moving to River Health, enrollment has exceeded expectation. The team at River Health are very accommodating to work with. They helped to simplify the enrollment process, revise communications to fit our brand, and work with us to create a great benefit for our employees."

Skip pouring money into constant backfilling and overtime and invest in a benefit that keeps people healthy, shows up in the P&L, and helps frontline teams stick around.
Hourly or part-time workers face a difficult reality: they are ineligible for employer-sponsored health insurance, while individual plans on the exchanges are usually high-deductible or bare-bones catastrophic coverage. That leaves employees paying too much for care they rarely use or going without coverage altogether.
The Essentials Plan fills this gap. It offers the everyday healthcare services such as virtual visits, clinic appointments, prescriptions, and therapy—alongside specialized programs for diabetes and heart health starting at $50/month.
Employers can extend this benefit to part-time or hourly staff while giving them the flexibility to pair the Essentials Plan with catastrophic insurance for full protection.
