NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing commitment to keeping
New York and New Jersey healthy, MagnaCare, the region's recognized leader in
innovative healthcare administration for over 20 years, is proud to announce
the launch of its new full-service pharmacy benefit management (PBM) program,
MagnaCareRx.

"Clients are demanding better solutions for pharmacy benefit management. With
costs rising, plan sponsors can't afford to continue with the status quo,"
said Michael Jordan, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Account
Management at MagnaCare.

This is especially true given the current climate of scrutiny on existing
PBMs. As the confidence of the 200 million Americans who get prescription drug
benefits through PBMs starts to waver, it's up to trusted companies like
MagnaCare to step in and offer a better alternative for its 500,000-plus
members. "We developed MagnaCareRx in response to feedback from our clients,
who have been telling us they want help lowering prescription drug benefit
costs without compromising quality of care or service [by offering] flexible
solutions through a single point of contact," said Jordan.

In a crowded pharmacy benefit management marketplace, MagnaCareRx stands apart
with:
    --  Proven solutions for lowering drug costs with a strong generic drug
        program, valuable rebate management and a client-first approach
    --  Flexible formularies to allow maximum savings and customization for
        clients over a wide range of industries
    --  Unmatched client and member service - every time you call to speak
with
        a representative about your prescriptions or benefit plan, you will
get
        the same level of outstanding service for which MagnaCare has
        consistently been praised




MagnaCareRx will offer plan sponsors a complete choice of prescription drug
services including a convenient retail pharmacy network of more than 61,000
pharmacies, prescription home delivery, a 90-day retail program, specialty
pharmacy benefits and much more - all backed with the same care, dedication
and integrity of the MagnaCare brand.
