The setting
's is the web and mobile service where employees and their families get mental-health support. It directs each person to a suitable level of care, from self-guided resources to therapy, coaching, and crisis support.
A promise about access has become a binding demand for uncapped credits.
The employer wants certainty across its eligible workforce, while the seller needs a commitment supported by evidence and bounded exposure.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Procurement sent my own slide back to me this morning and asked why the contract promises less.”
Kalliopi Moretti · Benefits Manager · a character in this brief
Responsible for the employer's selection and for explaining the guarantee to procurement and employees.
What is at stake
A $6 million employer agreement now depends on an uncapped access guarantee. You must weigh preserving the award against signing three years of exposure that the available evidence cannot settle today.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- quarterly revenue vs binding service exposure
- buyer certainty vs incomplete access evidence
- direct account control vs partner risk absorption
- simple promises vs administrable guarantees
Why Spring Health
Consultant-led enterprise distribution puts the access promise made in a buying meeting directly into a large employer's contract.
