Norvax Joins With WellPoint to Introduce New Senior Quoting Feature

CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Norvax, the #1 provider of technology and Internet tools for
insurance sales, has teamed with WellPoint, Inc., one of the nation's
leading health benefits provider, to launch a new quoting platform
that will allow agents and brokers to better serve the fast-growing
Medicare-eligible health insurance market.

The new senior quoting feature allows agents to generate and
compare multiple Medicare supplemental plans in seconds. Agents can
also increase their website's lead-generating capability by embedding
the Norvax senior quoting engine, which allows visitors and clients to
run self-service quotes 24 hours a day.

"Baby Boomers are the biggest segment of the population, and
seniors make up the fastest-growing market in individual health
insurance," said Kris Schneider, Staff VP Strategic Partners at
WellPoint. "This tidal wave of 70 million Boomers is creating a huge
opportunity for health insurance agents. With the Norvax senior
quoting engine, agents will be equipped to satisfy this incredible
demand. They'll be able to serve more seniors -- faster and with more
options."

Medicare supplemental plans provide many of the benefits that
aren't covered by standard Medicare Part A or Part B plans. This
includes long-term care, hearing aids, private-duty nursing, dental
care and vision care. But the most important Medicare supplemental
plan sought by seniors is the Prescription Drug Plan (PDP).

"Until now, the biggest hurdle for agents looking to fully serve
the individual senior market has been the lack of an effective tool
for comparing varying plans and carriers," said Clint Jones, CEO of
Norvax Inc. "With Norvax's senior quote engine, seniors can now
compare plans side-by-side, choose the program that offers the best
pricing and benefits -- and then submit an e-application for faster
underwriting."

The basic Norvax quote engine is already the established leader in
individual/family quoting with thousands of plans from 74 of the
nation's leading carriers. In addition to quoting Medicare
supplemental plans in seconds, the Norvax senior quoting engine puts
informative state-specific brochures at the agent's fingertips and
connects directly with available e-applications for quicker
submissions.
