enTrust Immediate Care™ Introduces Immediate Advantage…

Practical Assistance in Managing Healthcare Costs

Houston, TX – January, 6, 2011 – Amid unwelcome news of skyrocketing healthcare costs there is good news for Houstonians! ENTRUST IMMEDIATE CARE™, the Houston based family medicine and urgent care provider, has just introduced its IMMEDIATE ADVANTAGE plan to help employers, individuals and families offset increasing healthcare expenses and to provide them the opportunity to use their health insurance and/or workers’ compensation insurance more advantageously.

Helping Employers, Families and Individuals
Immediate Advantage is for the insured and self-insured alike. For employers providing healthcare coverage and covering the costs of work related injuries, and for individuals and families seeking a practical approach to control health care costs, this is a viable approach.

According to Kevin Stuckey, President of ENTRUST IMMEDIATE CARE™, “This plan enables employers and families to pre-pay for the urgent care and/or primary medical care they anticipate using within a foreseeable time frame and recognize a reasonable discount for doing so.” For those with health insurance, substantial savings could be recognized by coupling the Immediate Advantage plan with a higher deductible insurance policy that should be less expensive.

As an example, four complete visits to ENTRUST IMMEDIATE CARE™ can be purchased for $175/each ($700 total). This includes the following services and more provided on an “in-house” basis:

• Physician Visits for General Medical Issues (including issuing appropriate prescriptions)
• Physical Exams (including Drug Screening)
• X-Rays
• Lab Work & Tests (UA, Strep, Mono, Pregnancy & etc.)
• Sprain and Injury Care (X-Ray, splinting & crutches)
• Breathing Treatments
• Allergy Care
• Sutures (stitches)
• Basic Injections for antibiotics, tetanus, pain relief & etc.
• Muscle Strains & Sprains
• EKG’s
• Pediatric Care
• Burn Treatment (1st and 2nd Degree)
• Headache Care (migraine, sinusitis, allergy)

“The out of pocket costs for many of these same visits and treatments would typically be several hundred dollars. This plan is for people seeking to control expenses without sacrificing quality in the care they receive. And, the financial incentive for not using expensive, time consuming emergency room facilities for non-life threatening cases is substantial. By introducing Immediate Advantage, we are delivering on our mission of providing quality healthcare that is prompt, convenient and affordable.” Stuckey said.
