October 20, 2005 - HealthPlan Services (HPS) has been selected by Michigan-based American Community Mutual Insurance Company as the administrator for their emerging line of innovative consumer-directed health insurance products. Under this new arrangement, HPS will provide all quoting, billing, enrollment, rate generation, claims, renewal and customer-care services.

"We are very proud to be partnering with American Community in their efforts to bring cost-effective, consumer-directed health care products to market for individuals and small group employers looking for an alternative to traditional insurance coverage," said Jeff Bak, HPS President and CEO. "HPS is able to provide ACM a speed-to-market advantage and consumer-friendly administrative processing via Platypus, our proprietary web based system."

This new generation of products will be marketed under the brand name Precedent and will be available to both individuals and small groups. Plans call for the products to be initially launched in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan and shortly thereafter will roll out to other states.

"Our Precedent suite of products is an American health insurance revolution. Delivering excellent, radically different coverages to the consumer-directed insurance marketplace for 2006 requires an administrator with superior economies of scale and the highest standards of customer service. HealthPlan Services fills that role admirably and gives us "instant offense" with our new product roll-out," said Craig Shelley, Senior Vice President of American Community's Consumer Choice Division.
