Why Employers Are Rethinking Healthcare Benefits & Turning to Advanced Primary Care (APC+)

The Employer Healthcare Dilemma

Traditional healthcare plans aren’t cutting it anymore. Employers are dealing with ballooning premiums, rising employee dissatisfaction, and mounting administrative complexity without seeing a return in workforce well-being. Meanwhile, employees are struggling to get the care they need when they need it, which drives up absenteeism, lowers morale, and contributes to burnout.

That’s why more employers are rethinking their approach and turning to Advanced Primary Care Plus (APC+). With its emphasis on fast access, longer visits, preventative care, and transparent pricing, APC+ isn’t just a benefit—it’s a strategic advantage.


Employees Want More Than Just an Insurance Card

Today’s workforce expects healthcare that works for their real lives. According to the SHRM 2024 Employee Benefits Survey, nearly 1 in 3 employees are dissatisfied with their healthcare benefits, and many cite delays in care, confusing costs, and a lack of mental health access as top concerns.

APC+ addresses these gaps by offering:

  • Same-day or next-day appointments
  • Transparent, upfront pricing
  • Mental and behavioral health support at most clinics
  • Longer visits (30–60 minutes) for more personalized care


By giving employees a healthcare model designed around their needs, employers can increase satisfaction and reduce turnover.


Member Experience = Competitive Advantage

Employee experience doesn’t stop at the office; it extends to how they access and interact with their benefits. With APC+, members have a direct relationship with their providers, whether that’s in-person, over video, or by text. The result? Employees feel heard, cared for, and supported in ways that boost both personal health and workplace productivity.

According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, companies that prioritize employee well-being see 21% higher productivity and 41% lower absenteeism. APC+ directly supports these goals by helping people stay healthy and present.


Predictable Costs, Better ROI

Let’s face it: Traditional healthcare costs are a black box. Employers often don’t know where costs will spike next or why. With APC+, monthly costs are predictable, with direct contracted pricing that oftentimes includes labs, diagnostics, and chronic disease management right in-house.

APC+ is not just affordable, it’s effective. A CMS report on Direct Contracting found that direct care models like APC+ helped reduce overall healthcare spending by hundreds of millions through improved coordination and prevention.


Less Administrative Burden, Happier Teams

HR and benefits managers often get bogged down with open enrollment confusion, claims support, and navigating coverage issues. APC+ simplifies things. By streamlining access to care and reducing reliance on traditional insurance, your team spends less time managing healthcare and more time focusing on people.




TL;DR: Why Employers Are Choosing APC+

✔ Employees get better care and faster access

✔ Improved retention and productivity

✔ Clear, subscription-based pricing

✔ Mental health and prevention included

✔ Simpler benefits experience for HR
