Montana benefits for Montana companies

With Montana Pediatrics After Hours Employer Benefits, you can provide access to high-quality care for your employee’s families

At Montana Pediatrics, we believe in supporting employers in offering the best care for their employees and families through partnerships with organizations across Montana to provide on-demand care services at $0 cost to them. Child illness accounts for 40% of missed work by parents, leaving them with few options for their child’s care⁽¹⁾. Through our high-quality care with Montana’s own pediatric providers, you are empowering your employees with the ability to make healthcare decisions for their children in a timely, convenient platform. This helps reduce the need for them to take days off to attend last-minute doctor’s appointments or sit in an urgent care waiting room, and makes it easier for them to balance their work and home lives.

Right now, over 5,000 Montana employees are currently covered under this benefit, and as the school year approaches kids can easily fall sick, leaving hard-working parents to face tough care decisions. By offering this service, you give peace of mind to your employees, alleviating time stressors and concerns about losing their job or pay if they have to take time off work to care for a child⁽²⁾. Starting at just $1.50 per employee/month, you can contribute to a healthier and more productive workforce, ultimately boosting your company’s bottom line and demonstrating a commitment to a positive work culture: Setting your organization apart and strengthening your reputation as an employer of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

My company already has a telemedicine program as part of our health insurance benefit. Why would we add this, too?

Because Montana Pediatrics is the only telemedicine program that supports Montana families with Montana-based pediatric providers. Children aren’t just tiny versions of adults, and other telemedicine programs outsource care to adult providers located in other states who don’t specialize in children and don’t understand the landscape of Montana or the services we have here. There is strong data that points to low-quality care from telemedicine that isn’t rooted in community, yet quality care doesn’t have to be limited to a family’s geographic location. By pairing the state’s best providers with technology-based access, we can provide Montana families with the best pediatric care, together.

Do we have to already provide health insurance for our employees in order to use this program?

Nope! We will provide access to high-quality pediatric care for your employees and their families regardless of health insurance coverage. Once we establish a partnership, your employees will never need to input health insurance or payment information when creating their account or accessing care

What about our employees that don’t have young children?

We can anyone through age 21 – so your young-adult employees can use Montana Pediatrics for themselves. Plus, family structures look so different from family to family, so if your employees are aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, foster parents, etc that have the legal ability to seek care for a child, they can use Montana Pediatrics for care at no cost.

How do employees access care?

It’s easy! We’ll create a custom-branded login page for your organization and share it with your entire team. Employees can access care directly from that page, or, if they forget and request a visit from our main homepage, we have processes in place to help ensure they don’t receive a bill.

How much does it cost to add this employee benefit for our team?

It depends on the size of your organization. Unlike health insurance and other benefit programs, we don’t base the cost on the number of dependents your organization may have to cover since family structure varies greatly! Typically, the cost is around a few bucks per employee per month, but we’ll hash out the details with you one-on-one.

Our company employs people outside Montana. Can we still participate?

Yes! While we are only able to care for families who reside in Montana, we partner with organizations that have employees all across the country. Customized, community-centerd benefits are becoming more and more popular and our team can help craft messaging to both your Montana-based employees as well as across your entire organization if you choose.
