This report is written for a specific person: the executive director, operations manager, or program leader at a nonprofit with between 3 and 30 employees who has been thinking about offering healthcare access to their team — and who keeps putting it off because it seems complicated, time-consuming, or dependent on resources and expertise they do not have.
The point of this report is to show you that adding a meaningful healthcare benefit does not have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. With subscription telemedicine, the process from decision to enrollment can be completed in a single afternoon.
Why Most Nonprofits Think Benefits Are Out of Reach
| Characteristic | Traditional Group Insurance | TSB Telemedicine Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost per employee | $500–$800+ (employer share of premium) | Under $20 |
| Minimum enrollment requirement | Typically 2+ employees, with participation minimums | None — enroll 1 or 100 |
| Setup time and complexity | Weeks to months — carrier selection, enrollment windows, compliance | One 20-minute call — same-day access |
| HR expertise required | Significant — open enrollment management, COBRA, ACA compliance | None — employees self-activate via app download |
| Annual contract / renewal cycle | Annual renewal with potential rate increases | Month-to-month subscription; cancel anytime; no contract |
The Five-Step Implementation Playbook
Step 1: Decide on Your Contribution Model (15 Minutes)
You have three options: Employer-paid (organization covers the full $20/month per employee — simplest and most valued), Employee-paid with employer facilitation (enable group enrollment but employees pay their own subscription), or Hybrid (employer covers a portion and employee contributes the remainder).
Step 2: Contact Third Sector Benefits (20 Minutes)
Reach out to Eric Snyder at eric@thirdsectorbenefits.com or through thirdsectorbenefits.com to schedule a group discovery call. The call covers your organization’s size, the contribution model you have chosen, and the enrollment process. Eric handles everything on the enrollment side.
Step 3: Communicate to Your Team (30 Minutes)
Send a simple communication covering: what the benefit is, what it covers, how to activate (download the HealthiestYou app and create an account), and who to contact with questions.
Step 4: Run a 10-Minute Team Onboarding (Optional But Recommended)
At your next all-staff meeting, take 10 minutes to walk through the HealthiestYou app together. Show the main menu, demonstrate requesting a general medical consultation, point out the mental health section. This 10-minute investment is the single highest-impact driver of utilization.
Step 5: Build Reminders Into Your Annual Calendar (1 Hour, Once Per Year)
Schedule four quarterly benefit reminders tied to seasonal health themes: respiratory illness season in fall, mental health awareness in May, dermatology in summer, nutrition in the new year.
What to Say to Your Board
- The annual cost for a 15-person organization is approximately $3,600 — less than one conference registration fee per person
- The most documented risk it addresses is staff turnover, which costs $15,000–$25,000 per departure
- The mental health access component directly addresses the burnout crisis that 95% of nonprofit leaders cite
- No administrative burden is created — employees self-activate via an app
