Independent Insurance Agents of Georgia Partners with Sovereign Risk Solutions to Deliver Innovative Healthcare Solutions

The Independent Insurance Agents of Georgia, Inc. (IIAG), Georgia's largest association of insurance agents, announces its endorsement and partnership with Sovereign Risk Solutions to market and distribute Health Perx ™ to its agency members, brokers and their clients. Health Perx ™ provides individuals with effective and low-cost access to health care services utilizing Telemedicine, Prescription Savings and discounted access to healthcare networks (see also Health Insurance).

"The current state of the health insurance market makes it difficult for a large and growing number of agencies and individuals to afford the cost of health insurance, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket health expenses," said Aubie Knight, IIAG Chief Executive Officer. "The Health Perx™ offering of products gives members and their insureds creative solutions to the high price of health care. It also has the potential to create an additional source of revenue for our member agencies."

"We are thrilled to receive this endorsement from IIAG," said John Varner, President of Sovereign. "We believe that Health Perx ™ fills a critical and rapidly expanding niche in employee benefit programs, regardless of whether or not an employer is completely self-funded, or offers limited or no health coverage for their employees. The Health Perx ™ Card provides users the healthcare they need while offering employers an innovative solution that reduces absenteeism, increases productivity, promotes consumerism and decreases overall healthcare costs."

Members of IIAG will be able to learn more about the Health Perx ™ suite of services by going to www.iiagmedbenefits.org, or by calling Mike McDaniel at 678-996-3405.
