USA Managed Care Organization Announces Innovative NewProduct for Independent Insurance Agents.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BW HealthWire)--June 22, 1998--Healthcare delivery and medical management giant, USA Managed Care Organization(R) (USA MCO) Monday announced the Texas launch of its newest subsidiary, USA Quality Staffing Inc.(SM) (USA QSI) and its associated health insurance package, LibertyQuest(SM).

The unique, turn-key product was strategically developed to serve small and mid-sized employer groups, businesses that are typically size-prohibited from obtaining choice and affordable insurance and employee benefits products. USA QSI and LibertyQuest are available exclusively through authorized independent insurance agents.

Agent orientation and product "kick-off" meetings will be held on Monday, July 20 at the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas; Tuesday, July 21 at The Worthington Hotel in Ft. Worth; and Wednesday, July 22 at The Hotel Intercontinental in northern Dallas. Seating is limited.

Agents may RSVP for any of the meetings, schedule a workshop or arrange extended sales training by contacting Dana Edwards at USA Quality Staffing, 972/503-7772 or 800/899-9680.

Licensed as a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), USA Quality Staffing is the first company to offer a comprehensive package of business insurance and integrated Co-Employer (CEO) services utilizing USA MCO's award-winning and Joint Commission accredited PPO networks for both group health and work comp, as well as its in-house accounting, bill review and case management components.

Underwritten by Fidelity Security Life Insurance Co., a Best-rated (A-) Excellent carrier, LibertyQuest leads the package of benefits by extending the broad health coverage small groups have been waiting for at an affordable price.

"As a 'Service First' organization committed to Continuous Quality Improvement, we operate as a CEO offering 'employee sharing' services rather than as a PEO in the business of 'employee leasing'," stated W. Joseph Martin, president, USA QSI.

"Experts agree on the importance of connecting personnel, benefits and payroll for a fully controlled business environment. It's interesting to note that USA MCO has been performing these typical PEO functions since 1982; managing a range of sponsored and repriced claims and pre-tax benefits for nearly 10 million participants. You could say we were ahead of the industry before the industry even had an identity."
