Pricing and Costs

How much does the program cost?

The Worker Healthy Living Program (WHLP) is a free benefit for drivers through the Independent Drivers Guild. Your visits with the doctor, health coach, and registered dietitian are provided at no cost to you. If your care team orders lab tests or medications, those will be billed through your insurance—for example, you can use your coverage for any required testing at Labcorp or your preferred laboratory.

What if I don’t have insurance?

No problem! You can still participate in the Worker Healthy Living Program (WHLP). Your visits with the doctor, health coach, and registered dietitian are completely covered through Independent Drivers Guild—no insurance needed.

Many drivers qualify for health insurance but aren’t sure how to navigate the system. IDG’s free Healthcare Enrollment service will help you to enroll if you qualify.

If your care team recommends lab tests or medications, we’ll work with you to find low-cost or no-cost options so you can get the care you need without financial stress.
