NEW YORK, N.Y./BOSTON, Mass. – March 7, 2007 – bWell International’s award-winning bWell-Informed™ Health Plan Forecaster—an interactive, personalized comparison tool to evaluate health plan options over time based on individual health and risk factors—will be included in the suite of tools offered by CDH market leader Integrated Healthcare (IHC) to its client base of self-insured, small to mid-sized companies with 51-1,000 employees.

“The bWell-Informed™ Health Plan Forecaster provides a vendor neutral learning experience about all the benefit programs available to individual employees, with education that segues seamlessly to the transactional enrollment experience,” explains Phil Micali, founder and CEO of bWell. bWell also markets the bWell-Informed™ Health Risk Forecaster, allowing employees to actively identify and manage their personal health risks while seeing illustrations of the cost implications over time.

According to Dan Boisvert, president and CEO of Integrated Healthcare, “The bWell-Informed™ Health Plan Forecaster rounds out our integrated, point-and-click platform, further simplifying the consumer experience and enabling smaller companies to educate their workforces on the short- and long-term cost of ownership of health plan membership.
