Like any supplier, if you’ve had a bad experience with an occupational health provider, you’re understandably going to be reluctant to make a long-term financial commitment to a new one any time soon.

It makes sense, and is probably the best commercial decision for your organisation.

Being tied into a contract can mean setup fees, monthly retainers, data-processing charges, and other ongoing costs. These costs are undesirable at the best of times, but they’re particularly frustrating when you’re paying them to a provider you feel is underperforming.

This is something we observe often. Occupational health is a sector with a wide variety of provider quality, and we regularly hear from HR teams about challenging experiences where advice has lacked speed, balance, impartiality, or cost-efficiency.

Fortunately, there’s an alternative to a retainer: a pay-as-you-go occupational health model, often referred to as ad-hoc occupational health.

Not all occupational health companies offer this. Some don’t like to work in such a transactional way—especially with smaller clients who may only need the service once or twice. It also requires a provider to have enough confidence in its own service to trust that clients will return, even without being tied into a contract.

This is exactly our philosophy at Smart Clinic. We want you to have the flexibility to use whichever occupational health provider works best for you. If that’s us, we’re thrilled. If it’s not, we don’t want you to be stuck in a contract you’re trying to escape.

Getting started is simple: register your pay-as-you-go occupational health account and you’re ready to go. Smart Clinic services are then available whenever you need them—and in the meantime, it costs you nothing.

You’ll see our price list when you sign up. It’s fully transparent, with no hidden fees. We hope this gives your organisation the flexibility, clarity, and trustworthy ad-hoc occupational health service it needs to restore your confidence in occupational health.
