Case Study

AdaptHealth Modernizes Benefits Communication with Strive

A white-labeled mobile app, website, and AI chatbot reduce HR burden and improve employee engagement.

Overview

AdaptHealth is a leading provider of home medical equipment and healthcare-at-home solutions, employing thousands of professionals nationwide. With a large and geographically dispersed workforce, they needed a way to streamline benefits communication, reduce HR workload, and improve how employees engage with their healthcare options.

In partnership with USI Insurance Services, AdaptHealth launched a fully branded version of Strive’s digital benefits experience-complete with a mobile app, website, and AI chatbot. What began as a solution to support Open Enrollment has quickly become a year-round tool that drives satisfaction, improves accessibility, and reinforces their commitment to being an employer of choice.

The Challenge: Growing Pains Across HR and Benefits

Like many growing organizations, AdaptHealth faced familiar challenges across their HR and benefits teams.

Open Enrollment Overload

Open Enrollment had historically been passive, but upcoming carrier changes required a shift to active participation—prompting a surge in employee questions and confusion. HR teams were overwhelmed by a flood of repetitive inquiries, straining resources during an already busy period.

Low Post-OE Engagement

After enrollment ended, employees lacked an intuitive way to revisit or use their benefits information.

Fragmented Communication

Without a centralized, branded platform, employees were unsure where to find current plan information or support.

The Solution: A Customized, White-Labeled Platform from Strive

To address these challenges, Strive deployed a white-labeled solution tailored to AdaptHealth’s needs.

Branded Benefits Website

A central destination for employees, new hires, job candidates-and even family members-to explore benefits details, compare plans, and access helpful resources. By extending access beyond the workforce, AdaptHealth empowered spouses and dependents to make informed coverage decisions alongside employees. This broader accessibility helped reduce dependent-related questions during Open Enrollment and contributed to a smoother, more efficient enrollment experience overall.

“Ask Gloria” AI Chatbot

Available 24/7 and powered by AdaptHealth’s own benefits documentation, the chatbot provided immediate, private answers to FAQs-including topics employees may hesitate to raise with HR directly.

Targeted Messaging

Push notifications, text alerts, and a pre-OE postcard campaign helped drive timely action and visibility-crucial for AdaptHealth, where Open Enrollment is a mandatory, active process due to carrier changes. Personalized messaging by role and benefits eligibility ensured that communications were relevant and engaging. These strategically timed reminders played a pivotal role in driving employee participation, helping AdaptHealth achieve an impressive 90% adherence rate during OE.
“The intuitive, user-friendly solution helps us streamline communication, improve accessibility, and allows employees to use their benefits wisely. This improves satisfaction and ultimately helps them make more informed decisions.”

The Impact

Significant Time Savings for HR

In just the first 3 months, the chatbot handled over 600 employee inquiries—saving hundreds of hours for HR teams and significantly reducing manual follow-ups. That efficiency translates to an annualized savings of over $20,000 in HR time alone.

“One of the positive side effects is significantly reduced employee inquiries, which saves our staff tremendous time—allowing us to focus more of our efforts on employee engagement and total rewards.”

Increased Benefits Utilization

More employees used the platform to compare plans, review coverage, and elect benefits with confidence. The “Medical Benefits” section of the app received more than 1,400 visits during OE, and 200+ additional elections were driven by app-based communications.

“More employees are taking advantage of the resources offered, leading to improved overall benefits engagement and a more informed, empowered workforce.”

“Seeing branded AdaptHealth communications reinforces our commitment to a positive employee experience. The better informed our employees are, the higher their perception is of the benefits we work hard to provide.”
