Equal Access Health Reveals Lawsuit Filed Against Care Entree
ARLINGTON, Texas, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Just days after the
Attorney General of Texas filed a lawsuit against Care Entree, a
discount medical savings card provider in North Texas, Equal Access
Health revealed it had already filed a lawsuit against The Capella
Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Care Entree on February 18 making
similar accusations. Precis (NASDAQ:PCIS) is the parent company of
both The Capella Group, Inc. and Care Entree, Inc. Equal Access
Health, which has been one of the top private label resellers of
the Care Entree product line since 2003, revealed the lawsuit after
the Attorney General made the public announcement of its suit
against Precis last Thursday. "Originally we have been trying to
keep this to ourselves in hopes we could work things out with Care
Entree," stated CEO Brady Speers. "However, it became clear that
both Equal Access and the Attorney General's office felt the same
way about the level and quality of service Care Entree provides and
we needed the truth to be told that we filed our lawsuit months
before the Attorney General did. We believe we have lost literally
thousands of customers as a result of the items noted in our
petition. This has cost us millions of dollars and has been hurtful
to our customers. We have been asking them to improve for nearly
two years and our patience as expired." Both parties have been in
negotiations for weeks trying to solve the case outside of
litigation. Efforts have been thwarted, however, by other
circumstances and have stalled, according to Mr. Speers. Equal
Access Health no longer markets the Care Entree product line. "Our
goal is to provide our clients with the most powerful healthcare
alternative out there. We offer an exclusive emergency room
benefit, a max-pay prescription card, network rebates and other
perks that no other discounter does," Mr. Speers said. "We are even
in the process of offering actual insured benefits for those
looking for more traditional approaches to healthcare." Equal
Access Health, Inc. provides affordable non-insurance healthcare
solutions for those who are under-insured, those who no longer can
afford the rising cost of traditional healthcare, and for those who
are uninsurable altogether, by offering incredible savings on
services such as medical, hospital, dental, prescription drug,
vision care, hearing, chiropractic and more. Equal Access Health,
based in Arlington, Texas, has provided healthcare for over 20,000
Americans since 2002. DATASOURCE: Equal Access Health, Inc.
