On-site Clinic

An on-site clinic is a clinical care access point deployed at or near an employer's worksite so employees can be evaluated and treated without leaving the building. Employer interest in the model is well documented and growing: KFF's 2025 Employer Health Benefits Survey found that 7% of firms with 50 or more workers already contract directly with an organization to provide primary care services on-site, in addition to whatever primary care network their health plan already offers, and that figure is concentrated almost entirely among larger, self-funded employers, the segment carrying the most direct claims exposure under ERISA.

Traditional on-site clinic models have historically required a multi-year lease, a dedicated clinical staffing plan, and a construction build-out before a single visit occurs, which is a large part of why on-site clinics have remained a large-employer-only strategy for decades. The distinction that matters most to a self-funded employer evaluating the category isn't access; most benefits packages already offer some form of access. It's resolution. A traditional telehealth-only benefit or a poorly resourced clinic can connect an employee to a provider without being able to complete the visit, generating a referral or a second appointment instead of an answer.

The OnMed CareStation™ closes that specific gap: a "Clinic-in-a-Box" that pairs a live, licensed clinician with integrated diagnostic tools in a single 8x10 footprint, deployable in as little as 45 days with no construction, just an electrical outlet. That deployment speed and lack of build-out is the structural difference between OnMed's model and the traditional on-site clinic category, which typically runs 6-18 months from signed contract to first patient. Employers evaluating an on-site clinic should ask one question before any vendor conversation: does this resolve the visit, or does it just relocate the referral?
