(NHPR, GRHU, WYN, DRH, VNO) Stocks in Focus by DrStockPick.com

National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR)

There are two major advantages that insurance companies see with managed care. The first is monetary. With a group of health care providers banding together, the focus is on providing health care that will save money for the employers that offer health insurance to their employees. By saving money on health insurance they can either pay less out of their own pockets or be able to afford to cover more of the cost of insurance for their employees.

Quality of service is another issue that is part of the managed care plan. Insurance companies and employers feel they can assist their employees in the selection process by having a network of medical providers they have already evaluated by the insurance company. This network of providers has passed the evaluation process and has the credentials and experience the managed care plan analysts feel meet the needs of their subscribers.

National Health Partners, Inc. is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured and underinsured people through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna.

National Health Partners, Inc. recently announced that it has signed a new agreement with a major marketing company that will significantly enhance the growth of its CARExpress membership base.

According to the Company, this deal, in combination with the previous partnership with Xpress Healthcare, will enable the company to build its membership base exponentially, initially generating in excess of an additional 2,000 new members per month. The new campaign is set to launch within the next few weeks and will provide a material positive impact on the company’s 2nd quarter sales.

National Health Partners anticipate that this new marketing agreement will provide a major impact on their overall sales not only for the 2nd quarter, but more importantly for the year. They look forward to building on the profits that they anticipate generating in 2011 that will be driven by substantial growth in sales of their CARExpress health discount programs. The combination of their substantial growth with their low price-to-equity ratio should reflect itself in the price of their stock over the coming months.
