Are green initiatives and saving money part of your executive mandate? Reducing or even eliminating the paper and mailing costs of contracts can help achieve all these objectives. <BR><br> We ve pioneered a Paperless Contract program for a Blue Cross client for their employer groups and word is spreading fast. <BR><br> Typically, these contracts are many, many pages& necessitating a separate mailing at significant cost. Our program is a PURL-based approach that takes the employer to a Direct Choice-hosted, client-branded landing page, where they can locate their plan contract for downloading or printing. The program has the ability to handle multiple contracts for a group with ease, in case all their plans don t renew at the same time. Additionally, we have the ability to monitor and report back when a group administrator has accessed a plan through the landing page. The landing page can also be used to persuade employers to opt-in and  Go Green by receiving all Blue communications via email. It features integrated security for implementing various methods of document protection and user privacy. <TD bgColor=#ffffff height=250 vAlign=top align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff height=250 vAlign=top align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff height=250 vAlign=top align=left><SPAN class=copy>And the savings? Consider the costs that are eliminated with <br>Paperless Contracts. Our client s average health plan contract <br>package weighs almost 16 ounces and the postage cost to mail <br> these packages was substantial, not to mention the costs of <br>paper, lasering, addressing and assembly (packages containing <br>longer contracts or multiple contracts obviously cost more). <br>With Paperless Contracts, these costs are cut entirely.<BR><br> Want even more cost savings? Our Paperless capabilities can be<br> expanded for use beyond this particular business-to-business<br> application and can be utilized in the business-to-consumer channel <br>for member communications, as well. <BR><br> For more information about Paperless Contracts, Paperless programs,<br> and how your organization can realize savings, contact Nick Lanzi at <a href="mailto:%20nlanzi@directchoiceinc.com">nlanzi@directchoiceinc.com</a></SPAN></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top width=450 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=25 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=24 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=475 align=left>&nbsp;</TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top width=450 align=left> <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR> <TD></TD></TR> <TR> <TD><SPAN class=copysm>For a Complimentary Needs Assessment, contact Nick Ridgely, Senior Vice President, 610.866.2111 ext. 204 or <a href="http://www.directchoiceinc.com/contact.asp">click here</A>.</SPAN> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=25 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=24 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=475 align=left> <DIV class=copysmlink align=right><A class=copysmlink href="http://www.directchoiceinc.net/news-1.htm"><STRONG>News Article 1</STRONG></A><STRONG> &gt;&gt;</STRONG> <STRONG><IMG src="news-2_files/spacer.gif" width=25 height=10> </STRONG></DIV></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top width=450 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=25 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=24 align=left>&nbsp;</TD> <TD bgColor=#ffffff vAlign=top width=475 align=left>&nbsp;</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD bgColor=#000000 vAlign=top width=1024 colSpan=2 align=left> <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width=1024> <TBODY> <TR> <TD class=copyright vAlign=top align=middle>Direct Choice, Inc. | 480 East Swedesford Road | Suite 210 | Wayne, PA 19087 | P 866.995.2111 | F 610.995.2266 | © Direct Choice, Inc. <SCRIPT type=text/javascript> <!-- var d = new Date(); var curr_year = d.getFullYear(); document.write(curr_year); --> </SCRIPT>.
