Taft-Hartley plans carry a unique responsibility: every benefit dollar must be earned, defensible, and felt by members. Advanced primary care gives plan trustees a proven, value-based strategy—reducing high-cost utilization, driving real engagement, and delivering measurable savings. This fact sheet outlines what Marathon Health's model offers Taft-Hartley plans and the labor group members they serve.

THE APC MODEL

Care built for Taft-Hartley plans and labor unions

Marathon Health's advanced primary care model is designed to serve the whole person—not just the acute moment. For Taft-Hartley plans, that means members can access primary, preventive, and urgent care; condition management; mental health support; and value-driven specialty referrals—all at little to no cost, with same- or next-day appointments and 24/7 after-hours support.

The result is a healthcare home that handles up to 90% of physical and mental health needs, reducing the costly downstream utilization that strains plan budgets. With onsite, nearsite, and nationwide virtual primary care options, Marathon Health meets members where they are—whether at the worksite, near home, or anywhere across all 50 states.

Results that matter: Trusted by 90+ labor unions and 65+ Taft-Hartley plans, the model delivers an average 1.2x ROI in year one and $1,100-plus in annual savings per engaged member.
