Choosing a wellness vendor is not just about checkboxes. It is about who can help your team make measurable impact with less lift. Rally Health is bundled with UnitedHealthcare and disappears if you switch carriers. Avidon Health is a standalone behavior-change platform you own regardless of your benefits strategy.

Carrier-dependent wellness is a liability. With RallyHealth.com sunsetting in April 2026, organizations tied to UnitedHealthcare-bundled wellness are facing a gap. Avidon Health is a standalone platform that works with any benefits strategy. The case for independence is backed by data: 95% of companies measuring wellness ROI see positive returns, with each dollar returning $3.27 in healthcare savings. But those returns require consistent engagement. The RAND Corporation found that participation averages just 20–35%, and switching carriers should not reset your progress. Avidon's CBT-based courses and certified coaching, which a 2024 Wiley review found effective at reducing sick leave, keep working regardless of your insurance provider.
