TAMPA, Fla., March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanzeon Solutions, Inc. (OTC:BB:CHCR) ("Advanzeon" or the "Company"), a leading behavioral health, wellness and pharmacy management provider for employers, Taft-Hartley health and welfare funds and managed care companies, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc. ("PVMS"), has entered into an agreement with National Consulting & Analysis, LLC ("NCA"). The agreement calls for NCA to provide sales and marketing services to PVMS in connection with PVMS' unique and innovative pharmacy savings and behavioral/wellness programs, offering its clients a guaranteed minimum savings of ten percent (10%) on their annual pharmacy spend, backed by a performance bond.
NCA is an employee benefits consulting firm dedicated to helping employer groups, brokers, TPA's, carriers and others find cost-saving solutions to their health plan problems. It has multi-distribution channels and serves employers in all phases of growth, from startups to firms with more than five-thousand employees. NCA sets itself apart from other consulting firms by an unparalleled commitment to identify for its clients the best healthcare programs available.
John Lalli, President of NCA, stated, "We take pride in identifying for our clients programs that save them substantial sums of money without cost shifting to their employees. We recognize that organizations are under tremendous pressure to control healthcare costs while at the same time offering competitive benefits necessary to attract and retain employees. We are relentless in our pursuit of quality, cost-saving solutions and relish the opportunity to provide our clients with products and programs unique to the marketplace. PVMS' pharmacy program is just such a program, and we are convinced that it offers a creative, competitive solution to the pharmacy benefits management dilemma our clients are currently facing. We are excited to affiliate with PVMS and have already commenced providing them with one of our client's pharmacy spend data for repricing purposes."
Clark A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO of PVMS said, "We are excited about our association with NCA as I know we share a common commitment to generally bringing down the ever-spiraling high cost of healthcare and by attacking that cost, primarily by reducing excessive expenses inherent in pharmacy benefits management programs. Those costs can be reduced dramatically by relatively simple measures, but it takes the cooperation of companies like PVMS and healthcare consultants like NCA, dedicated to their clients, to achieve that goal."
