Advanzeon Solutions, Inc.'s Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc. Expands Marketing and Distribution Agreement With National Consulting & Analysis, LLC
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 6, 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 expanded its product offering by entering into an agreement with National Consulting & Analysis, LLC ("NCA") whereby PVMS will market and distribute NCA's sleep apnea program throughout the United States. The agreement was effective immediately upon signing and marketing efforts have commenced.
Clark A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO of Advanzeon Solutions, Inc., stated, "We previously announced our agreement with NCA for them to market the Company's pharmacy and behavioral/wellness health programs; now, the Company will be working with NCA in the marketing of its sleep apnea program, known as "The SleepWorks Solution". This represents a major expansion of our programs and a very special affiliation with a premier marketer of healthcare products -- National Consulting & Analysis, LLC."
John Lalli, President of NCA commented, "We are pleased to partner with PVMS in the marketing and distribution of The SleepWorks Solution which will be another cost effective solution to help reduce the rising cost of healthcare. NCA is relentless in our pursuit of quality, cost-saving solutions, and we relish the opportunity to provide our clients with products and programs unique to the marketplace. We are convinced that The SleepWorks Solution offers a creative, competitive solution to the challenge our clients and their members are currently facing with sleep apnea, and we are very excited about the expansion of our affiliation with PVMS. We also believe that our association with Advanzeon's behavioral health program in combination with our sleep apnea program brings quantifiable value to our clients. We are extremely excited and confident of its success in our marketplace."
Clark A. Marcus commented, "We sought out this marketing/distribution agreement, in part, because of our relationship with unions and, particularly, the Teamsters Union, whose main members are commercial drivers. Our pharmacy program, in and of itself, provides unions with significant savings on their general pharmacy needs. The direct relationship between obesity, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes and a significant number of other illnesses requiring medications make our tie-in with NCA a natural. By combining our behavioral health and pharmacy program sales efforts with The SleepWorks Solution we are positioned to open significant pathways to unions, self-insured groups and employer groups by providing the mechanism whereby these groups will be able to cut their overall healthcare costs while at the same time creating a significantly healthier workforce, safer conditions on the road and, literally, save lives. The combination of our programs with NCA's sleep apnea program more than pays for itself in many ways."
