Novus Strengthens its Position as Many Major Insurers Exit ACA Marketplace

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 6, 2017) -    Novus Acquisition and Development Corp. ( OTC PINK : NDEV ), the nation's first healthcare insurance carrier/aggregator in the medical cannabis sector, announced today its new benefit plan, Cannabis Health Savings Account ("CHSA") to its insurance arsenal.

NOVUS Health |Life | Liability

Many of the nation's major health insurers are exiting the healthcare.gov market place, known as ("InsurExit"). It is nothing short of chaos, and for the Novus MedPlan it's a great time, because in the midst of this chaos there is opportunity. For example:

The Certainty of Chaos Federal lawmakers from both sides of the aisle will never be happy on healthcare regulation. With the Senate being two votes away from continuing this quagmire for months to come, one thing is certain: with major insurers such as Aetna and Humana continuing their InsurExit from many states, this leaves tens of millions of Americans with little or no coverage at all this coming November.

The Certainty of Opportunity At Novus after months of careful review on the uncertainty of healthcare we've come to the conclusion that in Washington it's about controlling the budget, whether it's called Affordable Care Act (ACA) or American Healthcare Act (AHCA). One thing is certain: all signs point from a repeal and replace to a reform, packaged under a different name. The opportunity is inherent, with many Americans with little or no healthcare benefits; the Novus MedPlan will step in and fill the gap to bridge consumers and small business employers with tailored healthcare packages that are affordable.

Novus Target Audience Currently, the casualty rate of the InsurExit is approximately three million enrollees. Those who wait until they are sick or let policies lapse to purchase coverage will incur an extra 30 percent increase of premiums, weighing a hefty price to an already expensive healthcare environment. How does Novus contribute to the lowering healthcare cost with their cannabis medplan packages?

Unveiling Of Cannabis Health Savings Account As we develop our cannabis health insurance infrastructure, one area of expansion is a tax-free Cannabis Health Savings Account (CHSA). Coined from the Health Savings Account "HSA" is a tax-advantaged medical savings program where the taxpayer(s) who is enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) will get relief from first dollar expenses. Consumers contribute funds through their employer to an account that can be applied towards special medical needs that are covered by the Novus MedPlan.

This will be particularly advantageous to the American worker adding $2,750 to $13,000 to the wages of a typical worker with individual or family coverage, respectively. Congress is considering its own HSA plan, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) have introduced legislation to create government sponsored HSA. However with our experience, the legal cannabis medical users would prefer the private market to handle such a task rather than the government.

Novus HSA Helps The Insured With High Deductibles Employers can place an employee that has a high deductible in CHSA, since Novus is approved for sale of annuities this would comply as long as it's institutional. Some other reasons why Novus is implementing CHSA:

  • Advantageous if the primary income generator succumbs to catastrophic situation(s),
  • Maximum out-of-pocket expense can be less than that of a traditional health plan,
  • CHSA gives flexibility not available in some traditional health plans, which may include dental, orthodontic, vision, and other approved expenses, which Novus has currently established,
  • Novus CHSA is rolled over for future medical expenses or may be used to reimburse qualified expenses,
  • Provides discount and/or first-dollar coverage for preventive care such as cannabis meds and other in network healthcare services.

In Closing Since it was proposed during the Reagan Bush Administration HSA's have witnessed steady growth. With Novus tailored benefit packages targeting cannabis and the needs of healthcare for the consumer, this provides an attractive, savings option for Americans who want their healthcare more affordable. The CHSA plan will be geared to 20 million lives covered, and continued enrollment with the proposal of new healthcare reform, which Novus will continually monitor for new opportunities.
