Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 09, 2015

Effective January 1, 2016 Argus begins a new partnership with CarePlus Health Plans, a Humana company, to administer dental benefits to over 105,000 Medicaid Advantage members in the state of Florida. "We consider this partnership to be a very high honor" stated Nicholas M. Kavouklis DMD, founder and CEO of Argus Dental & Vision. CarePlus is one of the only Florida HMOs to have earned the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) prestigious five-star status. We learned first-hand a few of the reasons that they have earned and retained their five-star status. Their team conducted a comprehensive due-diligence of our internal capabilities to determine how effectively Argus could provide the quality service they demand for their members."

Leading Argus Dental & Vision's growing operations is Chief Operations Officer, Michelle Backlund, MBA, with over 20-years of experience in operations and strategic planning. "Over the course of 2015, Argus has experienced tremendous growth supported by first-class customer service and robust technology. The CarePlus partnership pushes Argus closer to the 1,000,000 member mark. The synergy we are obtaining from our growth and size gives us a significant opportunity to broaden access to quality providers for our policy-holders."
