Employee Stories
Doug: Regaining Mobility and Strength
Doug, a commercial truck sales representative at Freightliner, experienced firsthand the benefits of our referral and second opinion programs. When faced with mobility and strength issues in his left arm, Doug was initially recommended a procedure that would have dramatically altered his life. However, through Sympl Benefits, he was able to access a specialist in physical therapy who helped him regain 70% of his arm strength and restore his ability to enjoy his favorite activities - riding his motorcycle and cutting wood.
Justin: Affordable Knee Surgery
Justin, the service manager at Freightliner, had been dealing with ongoing knee pain for about a year. He required a meniscus repair or possible full removal, which was initially estimated to cost $6,000 out of pocket. Through us, Justin was able to find a qualified doctor who could perform the surgery at no out-of-pocket cost to him. He was impressed by the number of participating doctors and the ability to choose a provider based on reviews and resources.
