Americare Services, Value Health Plus Form Alliance

Americare Services, Inc. today announced Value Health Plus will offer as an ancillary service to its comprehensive package of discount healthcare programs for individuals, employees and families Americare’s CallMD physician phone consultation service, a network of physicians available 24/7/365 to answer medical questions and provide non-emergency medical advice.

“VHP’s mission is to provide a comprehensive, practical program that makes it easy for individuals, businesses and families to secure the peace of mind that comes with having access to quality healthcare services at an affordable price.

We’re always on the lookout for ways to deliver further value to our customers, and we anticipate an enthusiastic response to the CallMD service.”

“CallMD is the answer for people with a non-emergency medical question, or who need a non-narcotic prescription, and would like a doctor’s advice at a time that’s convenient for them — without missing work, or spending hours waiting at the doctor’s office. Our network of licensed medical physicians is available for personal one-on-one phone consultations 24/7/365,” said Edward Mandel, chairman of Americare Services, Inc. “We are very pleased to join ranks with Value Health Plus in making convenient and affordable quality healthcare services available to individuals, families, businesses and organizations.
