MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- flexSCAN, Inc. (OTCBB:FXSC) today announced an agreement that will bring health360(tm) health and wellness services to 1,160 employees of Santa Ana, CA-based Western Medical Center. health360(tm) offers a wide range of services including disease screening, health risk assessments, online diet and fitness programs, and electronic personal health records. The agreement also provides health360(tm) to more than 75,000 patients who visit Western Medical Center annually.
Dan Brothman, CEO of Western Medical Center, says "We weighed several possibilities and found that health360(tm) is the only program that could give us everything we expected but that could ultimately help us lower our health insurance costs. Plus, there is also the added benefit of the electronic personal health record which is an excellent value-added service that we can now offer to our patients."
"health360(tm) is the solution that many employers are searching for," says Thomas Banks, CEO of flexSCAN. "They have been searching for a way to control the costs from rising insurance premiums and declining health in the American workforce. Neither Western Medical Center nor its employees will be asked to fund this program, because flexSCAN's advertisers, researchers, and other third-party content drivers will be underwriting its entire cost," says Banks.
FlexSCAN generates revenues from advertisers and researchers who pay fees to present their messages and offers to health360(tm) members in a secure HIPAA compliant manner.
