Phoenix, Arizona (PRLeap) January 12, 2007 – NextCare (http://www.nextcare.com/), the top immediate care clinic in the nation, announces its new X+raCare Medical Benefits Network, which helps those with or without insurance save money on health care. X+raCare joins the widely successful ValueCare program, which covers those without insurance. Both medical discount programs significantly decrease the cost of health care for patients.

“NextCare is thrilled to be able to offer two affordable solutions for those individuals who do not have health insurance or who can only afford a high deductible plan.” John Shufeldt, Chief Executive Officer - NextCare Urgent Care.

NextCare’s X+raCare Medical Benefits Network offers a national discount program designed for patients with no insurance, high deductible policies, or a standard health insurance policy that they want to supplement with additional savings. The X+raCare Card is not insurance; it is a discount card useable at NextCare Urgent Care and with many other providers which include vision, dental, specialist, hospital and pharmacy savings. For only $18 a month (and a one-time $5 registration fee), the entire family has access to this simple and easy-to-use program that offers 10 percent to 60 percent savings on health care.

Immediate care clinic NextCare’s ValueCare program was created for patients who do not have insurance or who have insurance that covers catastrophic conditions only.
