Insurance
Strategic Franchise Services, Inc. was founded in 2001 as a subsidiary
of Strategic Healthcare Initiatives to provide cost effective
alternatives to the high cost of group and individual health
insurance. Over the last three to four years, the group health
insurance plans have increased annually in double digits, placing
unprecedented financial pressures on American businesses and
employees. As a result, the number of uninsured in the United States
has climbed to over 43 million.
Health care accounts for nearly 15 percent of the nation’s gross
national product, or an average of $6,500 per person. Employers and
individuals are searching for alternative, lower health benefit
options, or dropping coverage altogether.
Strategic Franchise Services has developed three cost effective,
health benefit products that offer substantial savings for
organizations and individuals:
Medical Savings Card: This Medical Savings Card option provides the
member and family with access to a nationwide PPO network of physician
and ancillary providers for outpatient medical, vision, dental,
pharmacy, and hearing services. Members save 10 to 40 percent or more
on the various products and services.
SFS markets it products through such organizations as local and state
chambers of commerce, non-profit organizations, physician clinics, and
trade associations.
