YONKERS, N.Y., May 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Comprehensive HealthCare Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:CMHS) announces that it has developed an extensive preferred provider network (PPO) throughout the United States. Through its network, Comprehensive is offering access to over 600,000 dentists, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, vision providers, etc.
Paul Rothman, President of Comprehensive, stated, "With the extensive nationwide provider network in place, we anticipate the ability to expand our marketing thrust to all types and sizes of fraternal, commercial and municipal government entities. Our PPO allows us to offer, to our new and existing clients, access to approximately: 52,000 dentists in the Cigna Dental network; 450,000 doctors and hospitals through such providers as PPO Next and Beechstreet; a network of over 15,000 vision care professionals, through Eyemed, that includes major chains throughout the United States, including a network of ophthalmologists in selected markets across the country; over 51,000 pharmacies, including, CVS, Walgreen's, Publix and many more. We have already received favorable responses from current users as they discover that Comprehensive offers discounts on such a vast number of services throughout the United States."
Mr. Rothman went on to say, "There are over 45 million uninsured people in the U.S. and millions more who are underinsured. Combined with escalating prescription costs, the graying of America and the ever growing U.S. foreign population, who have limited access to medical and prescription coverage, we are more confident then ever in the growth of our discount card and services business. We believe this will translate into a bright future for Comprehensive."
