With my background as an attorney and an HR Director, I know that employees have legal issues, and often, companies are not providing the necessary resources for them to effectively handle those legal matters quickly and effectively. I have also seen all types of identity theft (unemployment fraud, drained financial accounts, tax refund fraud, etc) significantly impact employees' lives. Voluntary benefits (LegalShield and IDShield) have no direct employer cost, so why not offer them? (The legal plans cannot be used by employees for issues relating to their employment). Your employees are essential to the success of your business. Happy, stress-free employees are more dedicated, more engaged, more productive, and they interact well with customers. We want you to be successful. You work hard to recruit and retain top talent, and in today's economy, you need to stand out from the competition with the best, most robust benefits package and on-boarding experience. Let us be a part of shaping that package and participating in their on-boarding experience.Many companies' benefit packages are comprised of just the basics (health, dental, vision, life, disability, 401K). We bring you cutting edge benefits, such as identity theft coverage, legal plans, pet insurance, mental health telemedicine - even emergency babysitting services - many of which are elective (meaning no cost to the employer). With mental health issues at an all-time high, our low-cost, employer-paid mental health telehealth program worth looking into. It offers unlimited usage at $0 cost to the employee (and family)!That's not the only difference. We differentiate ourselves in the delivery of benefits by providing effective communication of benefits to your employees as well as enrollment assistance. It's time to improve your employees' benefits experience and provide them with additional benefits to make their lives easier and to keep them healthy - physically, mentally, financially.

Call A Doctor Plus is the premier telemedicine program that can shave dollars off the healthcare costs of your company and your employees. We offer a $0 copay program, and the cost per employee per month is less than $15 and can be offset by cost sharing and cost-realigning. Most companies embed the cost into their health insurance premiums. Because this is an independent program, it has the ability to shift usage from your insurance plan to the CADR+ program, which will save money for the company and the employee now, and at next year's health insurance renewal period. But don't wait until then! Contact me today to begin saving NOW.
