CONSULTANCY SERVICES INTERNATIONAL  

Wednesday October 17, 2:09 pm ET

 

HORSHAM, Pa - (BUSINESS WIRE) - National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Consultancy Services International, Inc. (CSI), a  leading insurance agency that designs, implements and administers employee benefit programs by such companies as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, AFLAC, GE Capital, CNA and John Hancock for organizations across the nation and internationally through a network of over 150 licensed insurance brokers and agents.

 

CSI's extensive network of insurance brokers and agents markets and sells a variety of individual health insurance, group health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and other benefits from top insurance companies across the country.  Under the agreement, CSI's network of insurance brokers and agents will market and sell the company's CARExpress membership programs to the public through its network of insurance brokers and agents.  CSI's decision to add the company's CARExpress membership programs to its roster of employee benefit programs represents CSI's first move into the discount healthcare market.

 

"We are very pleased that CSI has decided to enter the discount healthcare market and has chosen CARExpress as its source of discount health membership programs," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  "Many insurance agencies are expanding into the discount healthcare market because of the tremendous demand for healthcare solutions that target the 47 million Americans who cannot afford traditional health insurance.  CSI only works with the best healthcare companies in the country.  For it to choose us over all of our competitors is a significant accomplishment for us and a tremendous endorsement of the quality of our CARExpress membership programs."

 

"We are very excited to add National Health Partners' health discount programs to our arsenal of employee benefits," stated Gary Jonas, President of Consultancy Services International, Inc.  "CSI has always offered a comprehensive suite of only the best insurance and related products to consumers and are always looking to improve and expand the mix of products that we offer.  I believe that National Health's health discount programs are an ideal addition to our suite of products and provide us with a terrific solution for potential customers who want healthcare benefits but cannot afford basic health insurance.   I am looking forward to a long and successful relationship with them."

 

"CSI has an extensive network of over 150 licensed brokers and agents that will be marketing our CARExpress programs to the public," added Mr. Daniels.  "As a result, we believe that this relationship will yield a substantial amount of new CARExpress members for us over the remainder of this year and throughout 2008.  This agreement is one of numerous agreements that we are currently negotiating with a variety of business partners.  Some of these, like the agreement we recently announced with Internet Coupon Exchange, will offer us new types of business opportunities and new recurring revenue streams.  I am very excited about our expanding base of business partners and the diversified business opportunities they are presenting to us.  We expect to announce the completion of many of these agreements in the very near future."
