National Health Partners Announces Exciting New Insurance Programs for Health Advantage One

Posted on: Monday, 13 November 2006, 09:01 CST

National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has unveiled several cutting-edge insurance programs for Health Advantage One. Under Health Advantage One, National Health Partners will offer its CARExpress discount health programs in combination with complementary insurance programs.

National Health Partners will initially offer two innovative programs under Health Advantage One -- a Gold program and a Gold Plus program. The Gold program will consist of the company's CARExpress comprehensive discount health program as well as Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, Accident Medical Expense (AME) insurance, and Disability insurance. The Gold Plus program will be similar to the Gold program, but will contain additional amounts of AD&D, AME and Disability insurance. Each program will provide coverage for the member's full family or, at the member's option, coverage limited exclusively to the primary insured.

Members of Health Advantage One will be able to use the insurance component of Gold and Gold Plus programs to cover healthcare costs up to the amount of the coverage limit, and then use CARExpress to obtain discounts on healthcare costs not covered by the insurance component. National Health Partners intends to expand the programs available under Health Advantage One to include limited liability, or Mini-Med, insurance programs and programs designed to complement Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The company plans to offer its Health Advantage One programs directly to consumers and indirectly through its affiliates, such as the Small Business Network of America, LLCTM, a national membership association of small businesses that uses its group buying power to negotiate discounts and rebates on behalf of its members.

"We are very excited about the upcoming rollout of our revolutionary Health Advantage One programs," stated David M. Daniels, President and CEO of National Health Partners. "The pending completion of our Gold and Gold Plus programs represents the beginning of a new era for National Health Partners and is the result of several months of intense preparation and operational enhancements by the company. We have been working feverishly to finalize the programs and begin offering them to the public due to the overwhelming demand we are experiencing from small businesses and other organizations. We expect to experience an immediate and substantial impact on sales from the rollout of Health Advantage One."

National Health Partners' non-traditional approach to healthcare provides an innovative and cost-effective means for uninsured and underinsured individuals to obtain the healthcare they need at significantly reduced costs. Through its co-branding strategy, the company has networked with prestigious leaders such as CareMark and Aetna to create a revolutionary solution that lowers the costs of prescriptions and medical, dental and vision care through relationship optimization for millions of people.
