The Quantum Group Announces Continued Expansion of Community Health Systems

Number of contracted providers expands to 1,800

WELLINGTON, Fla., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Quantum Group,
Inc. (Amex: QGP, QGP.WS.A, QGP.WS.B) (www.QuantumMD.com) announced today that
the number of healthcare providers contracted with Renaissance Health System
of Florida, Inc. (www.RHSFL.com), a subsidiary of Quantum, has expanded to
1,800. Renaissance Providers serve over 1,500 patients, a number that
continues to grow daily as the Medicare Advantage open enrollment period runs
from January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008. Further, Renaissance has
established Community Health Systems in 26 Florida counties.
Renaissance has contracts with five Florida Health Maintenance
Organizations (HMOs) and expects to continue to expand those relationships.
Historically, healthcare providers in Florida have had at least eleven
contracts with different HMOs, each with a unique set of terms and parameters,
ie. different contracts, procedures, ways of conducting business; all of which
are at different prices. The Quantum model consolidates those relationships
and creates a more effective and efficient working environment for the
providers and payers. With Renaissance, providers need only call one place,
and Quantum will take care of the rest.
Noel J. Guillama, President & CEO of The Quantum Group of Companies
explained, "The continued growth of our Community Health Systems is further
proof that our model has been successfully designed to provide great benefit
to healthcare providers. Our structure allows physicians to outsource the
management of the relationship with the HMOs we represent. Our providers are
able to direct their focus toward achieving higher efficiency and quality of
patient care." Guillama continued, "We assume administrative responsibility
for the relationships with the HMOs on behalf of our providers. We believe
our Providers find great value in this service."
Barbara A. Roqueta, Senior Vice President Provider Operations, leads the
team of Provider Specialists charged with establishing and managing the
relationship with the 1,800 Renaissance-affiliated Providers. Ms. Roqueta
commented, "Our team of Provider Specialists is widely regarded as the most
professional, results-oriented and responsive representatives in the industry.
The continued growth of our Community Health Systems is largely attributed to
the strength and professionalism of this team, and I look forward to its
continued success."
Roqueta continued, "As a member of The Quantum Group of Companies,
Renaissance is able to offer personalized benefits for our providers as well.
A primary role of our team is to serve as a consultant for our providers and
to help identify additional ways for them to increase the productivity and
efficiency of their practice while reducing their costs. Whether we can
connect them with The Quantum Agency to manage and protect their assets or to
QMed Solutions for their billing and collections needs, Renaissance brings
customized, value-add services to each provider we serve."
