TelehealthWatch, a new resource for employers seeking to implement telehealth solutions to reduce healthcare costs, has been launched. The site features strategic frameworks, pricing comparisons, and ROI calculators created for small and medium-sized businesses seeking cost control.
-- TelehealthWatch has launched as a new resource intended to help small and medium-sized business owners reduce healthcare expenses through strategic telehealth implementation. The new site addresses a critical financial challenge facing employers nationwide - namely the viability of employee health plans for SMBs - and offers expert guidance on a wide variety of relevant topics.

Small and medium-sized businesses across America face mounting pressure to control healthcare costs while maintaining competitive employee benefits. Healthcare spending continues to rise, and cost unpredictability threatens operational budgets. With this in mind, employers need practical solutions that deliver measurable financial relief without compromising care quality, says TelehealthWatch.
Virtual care platforms, they explain, offer a timely response to this widespread challenge, providing business owners with tools to manage expenses while supporting workforce wellness. These platforms can act as a vastly more affordable alternative to emergency room visits and may also reduce absenteeism, both offering employers significant cost reductions in the process.
More specifically, research from Jefferson Health System indicates that diverting patients from emergency departments through telehealth consultations resulted in cost optimizations ranging from $309 to over $1,500 per avoided visit, depending on the complexity of care that would have been required. In contrast, a 2017 Health Affairs study found that telehealth visits averaged $79, compared to $146 for a doctor's office visit. Emergency room visits averaged $1,734.
TelehealthWatch also emphasizes the importance of mental health telehealth programs, which they say can usher in improvements in employee retention and reductions in stress-related physical complaints. As such, the resource shares detailed guidance on mental health support options that help employers address this often-overlooked dimension of workforce wellness.
Further guidance covers prescription savings programs alongside clear breakdowns of plans designed to fit various business sizes and employee needs.
Central to TelehealthWatch's mission is its analysis highlighting the various pricing models that businesses might choose to adopt, and how those models may impact savings. The team suggests that businesses should test pilot programs before committing to long-term contracts, allowing organizations to measure actual utilization patterns and identify the most cost-effective structure for their specific needs.
