Creating Unified Benefits Programs for National Franchisorsunion health plans

At Memberly, years of franchise experience help us design and deploy unified and branded healthcare programs for franchisees across the United States.

Memberly delivers scalable, nationally supported health programs that unify coverage, reduce costs, and strengthen brand consistency across every location.

Franchise systems face unique challenges when it comes to offering employee benefits. Franchisors want to support their franchisees, but most individual locations are small and lack the buying power to access competitive health coverage. At the same time, the healthcare market is fragmented, making it difficult to create a unified, affordable benefits program that works across multiple states and ownership structures. Memberly has addressed these challenges by developing scalable, nationally supported health programs that include telemedicine, affordable MEC plans, and self-funded health options — all designed to bring consistency, savings, and brand strength to franchise networks nationwide.

Nationally Branded Telemedicine Program

Memberly offers a national telemedicine program that can be branded and deployed across all independently owned franchise locations in the U.S. The program provides affordable, 24/7 access to virtual care for employees and their dependents under a single, unified system. Memberly handles setup, management, custom branding, employee brochures, and member ID cards, ensuring consistent rollout and engagement nationwide.

Affordable MEC Plans for Franchisees

Memberly helps franchisees of all sizes implement Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) plans that meet ACA requirements and provide baseline preventive care at an affordable cost — often as low as $50 per employee per month. By leveraging Memberly’s direct relationships and simplified administration, franchisees can escape overpriced MEC programs and deliver meaningful coverage that keeps employees healthy and compliant.

Self-Funded Health Plans

For larger or multi-location franchise operators, Memberly designs self-funded and level-funded health plans that provide major medical coverage at a fraction of traditional insurance costs. These plans combine national PPO or Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) networks with integrated pharmacy, telehealth, and cost-containment strategies. The result: lower premiums, better claim transparency, and long-term cost stability across the franchise system.

Centralized Benefits Support and Administration

Memberly serves as a strategic benefits partner for franchisors, coordinating plan setup, compliance, and administration across all participating locations. Our centralized model allows franchisors to maintain consistent standards and pricing while giving individual owners flexibility in contribution levels and enrollment. The outcome is a unified, scalable benefits program that strengthens brand value and supports every franchisee.
