LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan 20, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ACGI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The Amacore Group, Inc., (OTC BB: ACGI), a leader in providing health-related membership benefit programs, insurance programs, and other innovative and high quality solutions to individuals, families and employer groups nationwide, announced that it has launched a new dental insurance plan, Amacore Elite Dental. Offering dental insurance would fill a significant void as according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau study more than 100 million, or over one-third of the population had no dental insurance.

The new plan is offered in association with Group Dental Service (GDS), a company that has been providing quality dental plans and services for over 42 years. The plan, administered by GDS, brings cost efficient dental services to employers as well as individuals who are either uninsured or underinsured through access to the Dentemax nationwide network of 80,000 credentialed dentists. For under $400 per year and subject to certain restrictions, a family with membership in CASA can utilize the Amacore Elite Dental services, which are underwritten by National Guardian Life Insurance Company, and, in addition, members can receive discounts on labs, diagnostics, pharmacy, hearing and diabetic services and supplies. The dental plan is only available if you are a member of CASA.

Jay Shafer, CEO of Amacore stated, "It is alarming and unfortunate to note that such a large segment of our population has no dental insurance. Amacore realizes that the problem is not going away, especially as all healthcare costs continue to rise, leaving many employers no choice but to eliminate dental coverage. Dental insurance is one of the first benefits to be discontinued by employers as it is misconceived as a luxury benefit. Affordable dental insurance has been lacking, and The Amacore Elite Dental Plan is a meaningful step in alleviating this situation by passing on significant cost savings for quality dental care to individuals and families."

Mr. Shafer concluded, "The Amacore Elite Dental Plan being offered through the CASA Association is another example of the innovative, affordable health-related programs that Amacore is developing and offering to its large and growing list of companies and members. Our sales organization is enthusiastic about this addition to our current roster of health-related products and is actively marketing Amacore Elite Dental to the cost conscious business and consumer. We anticipate that Amacore Elite Dental will be a very successful product for Amacore and look forward to being able to report its success to our shareholders in future releases."

Insurance coverage provided by National Guardian Life Insurance Company, Madison, WI. National Guardian Life Insurance Company is not affiliated with the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, a/k/a The Guardian or Guardian Life.
