Humble Independent School District Opens Care ATC On-site Clinics

TULSA, Okla.--(Business Wire)--As insurance and health care costs spiral upward and employers
look for ways to minimize the impact on their operations, the national
trend of providing worksite medical care continues to grow.

The Humble Independent School District's decision to contract
on-site clinics for its employees illustrates this trend in businesses
across the nation. Humble ISD is located north of Houston and is one
of the state's largest school districts.

Tulsa-based Care ATC and Houston-based TriSurant introduced new
on-site physician clinics in Kingwood Dec. 1 and in Humble Oct. 1.

The number of organizations who offer on-site medical services has
increased significantly in recent years. Nearly one-fourth of large
businesses reported offering on-site medical services at the end of
this past year, according to the non-profit National Business Group on
Health. Another six percent reported they plan to open clinics in the
next year.

Deductibles, co-pays and waiting rooms are a nuisance of the past
for employees of the district. The clinics offer comprehensive health
care to its 2,700+ eligible employees and family members at on-site
clinics with easy access to the doctor.

On-site clinics are gaining popularity with many employer groups.
As employers are struggling to control skyrocketing medical costs,
clinics at the workplace are becoming part of the answer.

"The model is designed to give employers control and help them
save money by improving the health of the entire organization," said
Tom Rogers, Care ATC Director of Business Development. "Because the
focus is on preventive care, health care costs decrease as employees
and their families experience fewer catastrophic health claims."

Care ATC's model has been shown to provide annual savings of
$1,300 per employee compared to national trends. Rogers said companies
using Care ATC's services see both short-term and long-term savings.
Organizations that have used this service for five years enjoy total
health care costs that are lower than they were the year before
opening clinics, inclusive of the costs for Care ATC services.

According to Dr. Mary Widmier, Humble ISD's Assistant
Superintendent for Human Resources, the response to the clinics has
been tremendous.

Care ATC and TriSurant worked closely with Humble ISD to customize
the clinics to meet the district's unique needs and interests. The
clinics offer more one-on-one time with doctors than traditional
primary care clinics, provide lab testing and other services at no
cost to the patients. In addition employees' family members on the
organization's health plan can utilize the clinics.

Humble ISD's new clinics are each open four days a week and
staffed by Dr. Joette Gracia-Trujillo, Dr. Michelle Legall and
supporting medical personnel.
