American Katerra’s Health Benefits Protect All of Our Employees

For American Katerra, the most impactful way to recruit and keep the best engineers and innovators is by creating health benefits that are actually unique. Collaborating with Nippon Life Benefits allows us to offer holistic, staff-centered assistance with benefits that cut down on barriers to care, aid in the promotion of general well-being, and result in true peace of mind; clear advantages over the most typical packages in today’s rapidly shifting talent landscape.

Unlike so many other employer plans that charge high premiums or deductibles for preventive care to avoid health issues, this plan covers preventive care for you—including your annual checkups, vaccinations, and cancer screenings—”at 100% coverage with no out-of-pocket expenses or deductible requirements. This complete up-front coverage encourages preventive medicine and health habits well ahead of time—something many competitors do only partially (or require co-insurance)—and thus, keeps our teams healthier and more productive in a demanding industry.

Although telemedicine is on the rise, most providers continue to charge copays of $20–$50 for a visit or restrict sessions. American Katerra takes it a step further with Teladoc® 24/7 access, with $0 copay for PPO members—unlimited video or phone consultations at any time or place, with no limitations. Together with CVS Caremark pharmacy benefits that provide 90-day mail order supplies at the industry’s lowest copay tiers and home delivery convenience, our team has faster and cheaper access to medications than average employer plans.

Most companies have basic health coverage, but not on the same level of personalized support we do: specialized case managers who coordinate care for severe and chronic illnesses, giving hands-on help that is uncommon outside premium executive plans. Our Special Delivery maternity program offers added incentives and benefits for early enrollment, which exceed typical maternity options, and Active & Fit Direct™ offers high-quality, low-fee access to 17,000+ gyms and thousands of workouts in one location, stimulating fitness beyond the minimal or non-existent wellness programs of most manufacturing companies.

The majority of employers in the U.S. typically only provide coverage at home, leaving employees exposed when traveling internationally. In contrast, Aetna International provides maximum medical protection when we are abroad on business travel or family vacations—essential for a progressive company like ours that has expanded to Europe and Asia. This global safety net is one of the few real benefits that we can offer, and few competitors can match it.

In brief, the Nippon Life Benefits bundle offered by American Katerra is not only competitive but is purposely top-notch: it includes zero-cost essentials, unlimited access, personalized care, and a global reach that eliminates day-to-day healthcare friction. With the most competitive recruitment landscape for professional engineering talent available today, these are among the many reasons we stand for “Happiness for Everyone,” which makes us the employer for ambitious engineers and technologists, as their future needs are just as significant as those of our current employees, and we do not compromise on them. Would you want to work as part of a team that prioritizes your health and well-being as much as your innovation?
