Clear One Health Plans to Be Regional Carrier of New Healthy KidsConnect Plan in Oregon

BEND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Clear One Health Plans, Inc. (OTCBB:CCHN) received notice from the Oregon Health
Authority (OHA) of its intent to award the Company a contract for the Healthy
KidsConnect Plan, which is expected to be available January 1, 2010. Clear One
Health Plans would be a regional health insurance carrier offering the new
individual health plan specifically designed for Oregon`s uninsured children in
partnership with the Office of Private Health Partnerships (OPHP). The plan
would provide affordable, accessible health care coverage to Oregon children
under the age of 19 throughout Central and Eastern Oregon, Marion, Polk,
Douglas, and Josephine counties, and portions of the metropolitan Tri-county
area. The Clear One Healthy KidsConnect Plan would offer comprehensive medical
care including regular checkups, preventive care, prescription drugs, mental
health, chemical dependency, vision, dental, and care management services to
children who are currently uninsured.

"Over 116,000 children in Oregon are currently without health insurance
coverage," said Patricia Gibford, President and Chief Executive Officer of Clear
One Health Plans. "Our Clear One Healthy KidsConnect plan would offer commercial
coverage and provide access to high quality physicians for children, who are
most in need, at little to no cost."

As the regional carrier, Clear One Health Plans would provide children in
underserved populations with access to a vast array of high quality providers
through a unique alliance of physician partnerships throughout Oregon, including
the Mid-Valley Independent Physicians Association (IPA), Douglas County
Individual Practice Association (DCIPA), and Mid Rogue Independent Physician
Association (IPA). "Mid-Valley IPA is excited to be involved in this very
necessary partnership with Clear One Health Plans to help deliver care to
children in Oregon," stated Jan Buffa, Chief Executive Offer of Mid-Valley
Independent Physicians Association. "Our goal is to be a compassionate and
responsible partner in offering our expertise to ensure this program's success."

The Mid-Valley IPA has approximately 530 practicing primary and specialty care
providers serving Salem, Santiam, Silverton, and West Valley hospitals, and
provides services to over 385,000 people in Marion and Polk counties. DCIPA
includes nearly 89% of all health care providers in Douglas County, which
includes over 145 physicians serving 105,000 citizens throughout the county. Mid
Rogue IPA includes more than 70 practicing physicians, Nurse Practitioners,
Physician Assistants, and Behavioral Health counselors in Josephine and Jackson
counties.

Any child under the age of 19 can apply. Children must live in and be a legal
resident of Oregon, and have been without health insurance for two months with
the exceptions for certain circumstances such as a parent`s job loss or a
child`s serious medical need. The state of Oregon will subsidize premiums on a
sliding scale based on the size of the family and the household`s average income
for the past two months. Premium subsidies will range from 70-85% if the
household income is less than 300% of the federal poverty level, which is
approximately $66,000 for a family of four. For households with income greater
than 300 percent of federal poverty level, the family will pay the full premium.
