Humana and iCan Benefit Group jointly issued a press release this morning announcing a partnership that will make available a new line of discounted products for individual consumer, including dental, vision, and pharmacy products. The agreement establishes the iCan Benefit Group as the primary marketer of these products and will connect Humana with iCan’s national distribution network. iCan will offer the new products through online and TV campaigns, as well as through distribution to large organizations.

The two teams have worked hard over the last number of months to build these exciting product offerings. A unique feature about the discount pharmacy benefit is that is being made available to the public at no cost and will represent a 31-50% average saving off prescription drugs at over 54,000 participating retail locations. The official press release can be found at: http://www.businesswire.com/.

These jointly created programs will be combined not only many of the insurance plans iCan aggregates and markets, but as part of telehealth plans through iCan's subsidiary healthcare technology company InteractiveMD. By combining affordable healthcare access with money saving health and wellness benefits, these programs are designed as a solution for many individuals, families, companies and groups searching answers.
