Our advisory work is grounded in more than ten years of life, health, and benefits experience. Cheryl L. Newsome has spent her career helping executives stretch every benefits dollar while protecting compliance. That background led us to the Essential Health Program, a specialized, IRS-aligned wellness strategy that converts payroll tax waste into meaningful care for employees.
The Essential Health Program has been operated by Revive Health executives since 2012, using ACA-based tax provisions established in 2013. Their healthcare and compliance specialists design, administer, and continuously refine the program for employers across industries. This long-running collaboration provides our clients with confidence that the model is tested, carefully monitored, and aligned with current federal regulations.
We concentrate on results executives can quantify. Participating employers have documented 19 to 33 percent reductions in total healthcare spend, up to 43 percent less absenteeism, 2.5 times higher productivity, and stronger engagement and retention. Our education-first process, including webinars and Discovery Calls, helps leaders understand how these outcomes may translate within their own organizations.
Cheryl L. Newsome began as a life and health insurance professional, advising employers that needed smarter benefit strategies without extra budget. A former colleague introduced the Essential Health Program, which reengineers payroll taxes into wellness coverage. Recognizing its compliance foundation and impact, Cheryl chose to specialize as a referral partner, guiding executives through this structured, data-driven model.
Since 2012, Revive Health leadership has overseen EHP delivery for employers that seek both savings and stronger benefits. Documented outcomes include up to 43 percent less absenteeism, 19 to 33 percent lower healthcare costs, 2.5 times productivity gains, and 10 percent higher job satisfaction. We invite you to watch our executive webinar to see how this framework operates in real organizations and why executives choose it.
