PATERSON, N.J., Jul 28, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- National Health
Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cavit Sciences, Inc. (CVIT) has
been invited to develop a custom wellness plan to be marketed to
customers that purchase Limited Medical Benefit Plans [Mini-Meds].
"Following the agreement to afford access to our WellnessSuite(R) for a
national third party administrator client serving a population of
455,000, NHS was invited to developed a custom wellness plan which can
be included for purchasers of their "Mini-Med" health plans. Our client
was looking for an affordable value added program for his clients - one
that would target unique affordable plan benefits," stated Elizabeth
Gannon, President of National Health Services. "Limited Medical Benefit
Plans are becoming more and more popular as our economy struggles to
recover and health care benefit choices continue to evolve with the
changing climate of the job market. We view these programs as a way to
help individuals and families gain access to graduated levels of
coverage. This new wellness plan brings My Healthy Lifestyle(R) one step
closer to our goal to achieve health plan status," Gannon added.
Limited Medical Benefits Plans [Mini-Meds] have become a great
alternative to the rising health premiums according to an article posted
on All Business.com, a D&B company, Mini-meds' are considered the latest
medicine for rising health care costs. It allows employers or their
employees to pick coverage from a menu of items and receive insurance
for companies with fewer than 200 workers require their employees to pay
more than half of their health insurance premiums, according to the
Kaiser Family Foundation.
Health insurance premiums for a family of four have skyrocketed 78
percent since 2001, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than
quadruple the rate of inflation over that same period. Among employers
with fewer than 200 employees, just 59 percent offer health insurance to
their employees, down from 68 percent in 2001.
