AMBROSE RENEWS HEALTH PLANS WITH UNITED HEALTHCARE; INCREASE UNDER 6.5 PERCENT
NEW
YORK, June 29, 2005 - Ambrose
Employer Group, LLC, a Professional Employer Organization (PEO),
announced an agreement with United HealthCare to renew its health
plans offered to serviced employees nationwide at an average rate
increase of less than six and one half percent.
As announced
this morning by Marc Dwek, Ambroses Chief Operating Officer,
Ambrose and United HealthCare reached agreement to renew the health
plans without plan modifications. This is Ambroses eighth
consecutive year with United HealthCare. We are pleased to
continue our relationship with United HealthCare for another year
under such favorable terms, says Dwek. Our longstanding
relationship with United HealthCare has resulted in substantial
operational efficiencies and technical investments on both sides
that are significantly reducing the health plans overall administrative
costs as well as delivering a consistent and accurate service to
Ambroses clients and serviced employees, he adds. The
reduced administrative costs coupled with another year of favorable
claims experience produced a renewal increase under 6.5%, which
is about half the rate of premium increase experienced by companies
nationwide. The renewed health plans begin August 1, 2005 and continue
through July 31, 2006.
