Advanzeon Solutions, Inc.'s Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc. Has Successfully Launched Its Sleep Apnea Program For Southern California Teamsters
TAMPA, Fla., July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanzeon Solutions, Inc.'s (OTC-BB: CHCR), (Advanzeon) wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmacy Value Management Solutions, Inc. (PVMS) (collectively, sometimes referred to as the "Company") announced today that, pursuant to its Agreement with the Trustees of a large Teamsters Health and Welfare Fund in Southern California (see our announcement of June 3, 2015), PVMS has successfully launched operations of its Sleep Apnea Program (the "Program") for the Southern California Teamsters.
Jerry Smith, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the start of operations, which, consistent with the contract requirements, officially began July 1, 2015. Well in advance of the start date, we significantly increased operational space, hired additional Program-dedicated, customer service personnel, and invested substantial time and effort in hiring and training new staff members. We concurrently increased capacity in our infrastructure to handle the volume of traffic anticipated from union members. We not only met our time frame commitment but also successfully handled a significant number of union member calls, which came in prior to the Program launch date. We were extremely pleased to see that although these calls came in earlier than the start date, and the volume of calls far exceeded our forecast, our staff managed them flawlessly. We are confident that volume will increase and our staff and facility are well prepared to handle the increased volume."
Mr. Smith went on to say, "Simultaneous with our staff preparing to service the Trust Fund members, PVMS also initiated a substantial build out of our National Sleep Specialists Network ('NSSN'). The reception from the contacted providers has been very favorable with providers exhibiting significant interest in joining NSSN on an exclusive basis and servicing our referred patients. We currently have, for signature, contracts with 60+ Sleep Apnea facilities in Southern California."
