PHOENIX (July 7, 2025) – Ervexia Occupational Health announced today the national launch of its franchise program, targeting existing medical practitioners who want to add workplace health services to their practices.
The company's franchise model allows chiropractors, physicians and other healthcare providers to offer comprehensive occupational health services without rebranding their entire practice. Services include drug testing, Department of Transportation physicals, hearing tests and on-site mobile care and more for employers.
“The current model for occupational health is outdated,” said Matt Hale, a former executive at The Joint Chiropractic and partner of Ervexia. “Employers are frustrated with long wait times and inefficiencies at urgent care centers. We’re solving that by bringing care directly to the job site, streamlining compliance, and helping providers potentially create a new six- or seven-figure revenue stream.”
Ervexia's franchise model emerged from the success of founding partners Dr. Don Maple and Dr. Dallas Humble. Maple got into occupational medicine because he saw a real need - employers were frustrated, workers were waiting too long, and no one was providing fast, reliable care.
“What started as a few drug tests turned into a thriving business because we simply did what others wouldn’t: show up, be responsive, and put employers first,” said Maple.
Humble added occupational health services to his Louisiana practice three years ago and has secured contracts with school districts, government agencies, and employer groups of 500 -1,000 employees.
When the opportunity to scale occupational medicine first presented itself, Humble reached out to friend and consultant, Dr. Jim Raker who was instrumental in connecting us with the right people in the beginning.
“Occupational health is one of the most overlooked revenue opportunities in the medical field,” said Humble. “Many services are mandated and paid in cash, thereby eliminating the traditional insurance billing model most healthcare practitioners would prefer to avoid. We’ve taken what’s typically a fragmented, confusing space and made it simple, profitable, and scalable for providers.”
Humble, who has practiced as a chiropractic physician for over 30 years and is the present owner/operator of Louisiana Accident & Injury Care, said the Ervexia model integrates seamlessly into existing practices without requiring partners to reinvent their operations. Instead, practitioners follow the company's established playbook to serve existing market demand. The company provides comprehensive support beyond initial training, including tools, vendor access, and guidance developed through years of experience.
Ervexia offers services mandated by federal regulations, including OSHA compliance testing and DOT physicals, making it recession-proof. Its mobile service capability allows franchisees to conduct testing at employer locations, eliminating employee downtime and commanding premium rates.
Work-induced stress causes approximately 120,000 deaths yearly and incurs $190 billion in healthcare costs, according to industry data.
“Franchising in healthcare isn’t new, but this kind of access, simplicity, and ROI for providers is,” said Hale.
Dr. Paul V. Birinyi, a board-certified neurosurgeon licensed in 12 states, was recently appointed Chief Medical Officer of Ervexia and joins the leadership team alongside Maple, Humble and Hale. Franchise development is backed by Franchise Wisdom, led by Hale, who previously helped scale The Joint which now has nearly 1,000 nationwide locations.
“Occupational health is one of the most overlooked opportunities in medicine. As a neurosurgeon, I’ve seen the long-term consequences of unsafe workplaces,” said Birinyi. “Joining Ervexia allows me to be part of a solution, one that’s proactive, scalable, and deeply needed across the country.”
Franchise opportunities are available nationwide. Initial investment details are available through the company's development team. Visit the Ervexia franchise website.
