Everybody knows that health care in the United States has gotten to the point where it is largely impossible for the average family to afford the health care they really need. Not want mind you, but need. A company that can find some way to offer services that people need for a reasonable fee is the company that will begin to help people stay healthy and away from the mess that is now healthcare.
National Health Partners Inc., a health care membership savings organization, offers a full menu of health related services to its members and affiliates. The company is in no way to be considered a health insurance provider seeking to reimburse fee for service expenses, but rather offers a network of providers that are willing to accept the company’s members for discounts received at the time of service. The member must still pay the provider at the time of service.
Given the current state of healthcare in the United States today, the company is attempting to offer a service to its members that addresses financial concerns up front while not trying to attempt to work within the health care system. This is likely the biggest advantage that the company offers. It merely is trying to obtain the care people are seeking at reduced rates. Overall, the company’s program is a small solution now as opposed to a fix down the road.
The company recently announced that it expects to see positive revenue generation in the second quarter of 2008, and total projected revenue of between $12 and 15 million by the end of the year. Interestingly enough, the company has accomplished its revenue goals of today by getting smaller rather than larger. Instead of using a larger marketing company to prospect sales, the company has instead turned to smaller agents. The company is increasingly seeing Chamber of Commerce, immigrant group organizations, smaller professional associations and other groups as one way to solve their immediate need to grow their customer base.
Apparently, the company has found the niche that all Americans are famous for: “When the government isn’t capable of doing something for us, we will figure out a way to get it by ourselves.” Even if costs are still an issue, it is still some relief to the company’s customers. Where there is money to be made in healthcare, it will be found. National Health Partners has apparently found some.
