Benefitpackages.com Offers Access to New Vital Shield 2900, One of the Most Affordable Health Plans in California

(PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- BenefitPackages.com, a full-service insurance agency, today announced they now offer Vital Shield 2900 Plan (Vital Shield), an affordable health plan for individuals and families living in California. Vital Shield offers protection in case of major medical events and provides some basic benefits prior to a moderate deductible.

"More Californians are feeling the pinch of health care costs," said Larry Hurwitz, Benefit Consultant/Owner of Benefit Packages.com Insurance Agency. "The new Vital Shield plan is a way to obtain, or maintain, access to health care coverage on a tight budget."

Vital Shield offers coverage when you need it most. Some highlights of the plan include:

ý Monthly rates as low as $42. (Rates are based on age, residence and underwriting)
ý Low copayments for generic prescription drugs at network pharmacies
ý Two calendar year office visits prior to meeting the deductible
ý Access to one of California's largest PPO provider networks

"Vital Shield consumers continue to save when obtaining care from their doctor even after they have taken advantage of their two annual office visits. This is because the physicians and other out/patient providers accept the Blue Shield negotiated fee. This is usually a huge savings from the actual billed amount. Other carriers have similar plans that don't give their members the benefit of this discount," said Larry.

Benefitpackages.com has been serving Californians for 20 years and is known as one of the most prominent agencies in the state.
