For only $85/month, you can provide an employee unlimited access to urgent and primary care with no copays, deductibles, or insurance hassles. Add a spouse to the plan for just $45 more and children under the age of 18 for just $19 each. Everyone needs insurance in case of catastrophe, but when you are sick or injured, you need healthcare, not insurance.

Employers can purchase a less expensive insurance plan (e.g. Bronze Plan), with a higher deductible and use the savings in premiums to purchase a Prestige membership for their employees. In most cases, this will be less expensive than buying insurance with a lower deductible (e.g. Silver Plan). Alternatively, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a Prestige membership for your employees and have them buy insurance through the Covered California Exchange (coveredca.com).

Prestige members can walk in or make a same-day appointment. We are open six days a week until 9 PM and Sundays until 6 PM, so employees can receive same-day care and quickly return to work. Employees can also see a Prestige provider after work hours for routine care. If warranted, we will write the employee a work excuse or a limited work authorization. Otherwise, we will send them back to work and notify the employer.

Prestige membership includes walk-in injury care for minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters, or other minor industrial injuries, which do not require continued care and management services.  If an employee is injured on the job, we will evaluate the injury once they arrive at our clinic.

If “first aid" resources can effectively treat the injury, then the cost of this treatment and follow up care is covered by their Prestige membership and a workers’ compensation claim need not be filed.

Otherwise, we will direct the employee to a suitable healthcare provider (e.g., specialist, urgent care that treats work comp or the emergency room ) and the employer will need to file a claim. For more information regarding “first aid” please see Labor Code 501(a) CA. Labor Code 5401(a)
