Company:
Olde City Day School is a dedicated community of caregivers and educators with more than 75 years of combined experience. They have three locations throughout the Philadelphia area.
Challenges:
Olde City wanted to improve the health and safety of their facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic by routinely testing their kids and employees, but didn't have the means to hire a full-time in-house provider.
- With three separate locations, the cost to hire a full-time RN would cost roughly $200,000 (glassdoor).
- The inability to afford a full-time provider for their facilities meant that they would have to do the testing in-house and manage any supplies, which would add an unfeasible amount of work to their administrative team.
Olde City offered employees a supplemental health insurance offering, but the majority of employees chose to opt out—leaving 80% of its employees uninsured.
- A lack of affordable healthcare options limited the benefits package Olde City could provide its employees, leaving employees uninsured and the administrative team feeling powerless.
Employees of Olde City are required to complete a pre-employment health screening.
- Olde City employees had to complete these by visiting and scheduling appointments with primary care locations with the national average wait times taking 21 days just to get an appointment, which delayed onboarding times for new hires.
"One of the things we really love is the flexibility in scheduling appointments. I can use [Vitable's] company dashboard to set up appoinments for multiple employees, or the employees can set up appointments on their own through the app."
- Anita Preacher (Executive Director, Olde City Day School)
Solutions:
Olde City partners with Vitable to offer employees our Primary & Urgent Care Health Plan, as well as access to our On-Demand Occupational Health Clinics.
Outcome:
Vitable’s on-demand, in-office clinic offerings empowered the Olde City administrative team to accomplish all of their health and safety goals, and even some they had not thought of, like pre-employment physicals and TB tests.
- We were able to work with the administrative team at Olde City to set up a recurring COVID-19 testing clinic that included follow-ups for positive cases and allowed Olde City to remain open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Our on-site, on-demand clinics for their employees and kids in their facilities provided Olde City with all the benefits of hiring a full-time RN for a fraction of the cost.
- We now conduct employee health screenings in the facility at no additional cost to the employee—they are on-demand and generally available the next day or the same week.
"I would definently reccomend Vitable to any other organization. Being able to have personalized healthcare to our employees homes has been a huge help to them and to the administration"
Olde City employees are given access to Vitable's Primary & Urgent Care Health Plan at no additional cost to them, providing a robust health benefit at zero cost.
- 100% of Olde City employees are now covered for their primary and urgent care needs at no cost to them (includes no co-pays or deductibles).
- When Olde City provided employees with a Vitable health plan, they gained access to in-home and virtual visits, in-home lab tests, and imaging services (X-rays, Ultrasounds, and EKGs); a premium benefit not accessible with most insurance plans.
