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.

RIVER HEALTH FOR

Employers with part-time or hourly workers

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.
