Redwood Literacy Delivers Affordable Benefits to Employees and Contractors

Jillian Patten, at Redwood Literacy, sought a solution to offer affordable health benefits to her growing team, which includes both employees and 1099 contractors. With a rapid expansion on the horizon, Jillian needed a benefits provider that could scale with her company while providing value to her remote staff. Traditional health insurance options were expensive, and her team had not been satisfied with their current offerings.

“It’s been one of the smartest decisions we’ve made for our team, and I’m excited to continue offering it as we grow,” Jillian concluded.

“We began with Vitable Health two or three ye ars ago, and we’ve been thrilled with the offering,” Jillian shared. “It’s been a great fit, and now we’re looking to highlight it more for our team.” The fact that Vitable could offer benefits to 1099 contractors made it especially attractive. "That’s been a really big win with our team, and it's awesome," she explained.

With Vitable's Primary Care product, Jillian was able to offer her employees and contractors access to high-quality, affordable care, including virtual appointments, lab tests, and prescription management. The flexibility of the plan, including the ability to add dependents at no additional cost, made it a competitive advantage as she worked to attract and retain top talent.

“As we grow—by August 1, we’ll have 12 employees and 75 contractors—the timing has been perfect with Vitable’s expansion to all 50 states,” Jillian said. “It works really well for us, especially as we hire contractors from across the country.”

Jillian's team has appreciated Vitable's Primary Care solution as a more accessible and cost-effective option. “It’s been one of the smartest decisions we’ve made for our team, and I’m excited to continue offering it as we grow,” Jillian concluded.
