FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Modesto, CA - Managed Care On-Line has introduced a second subscription option that provides free installation software.
Managed Care On-Line is a private on-line service offering powerful Windows-based managed care information and communication resources for those professionally interested in managed care. The service can be accessed through the internet or directly via modem. Many of the features function off-line, like regular software.
"In addition to the Full Subscription we have always offered, we are pleased to introduce our Basic Subscription option," announced Clive Riddle, MCOL President. "The Full Subscription installs and provides access to all our features except premium services, for a cost of $198 for the software, and a $15 monthly subscription fee. Our new Basic Subscription installs our communication and information features, with the installation software provided free of charge, and the same monthly subscription fee," Riddle explained.
The Basic Subscription provides access to daily managed care headline news, e-mail, teleconferencing, forums, e-polls, MCOL subscriber center, MCOL newsroom with managed care and internet related articles, and more. The Full Subscription adds extensive managed care data and educational applications. Basic subscribers are eligible to upgrade to a full subscription at any time.
"The majority of our potential and existing customers want the services and features our Full Subscription provides," according to David Batista, MCOL Chief Marketing Officer. "However, there is still a substantial number of potential customers interested in our communication and information features that for a variety of reasons at this point in time want to pay only for those services with no up-front costs. Our new Basic Subscription lets these people join our service for free, and for our low monthly subscription fee they can receive daily managed care headline news, read and post inquiries in our forums, send and receive e-mail and files to other subscribers or over the internet, download daily stock reports, research managed care or internet articles, access our 300 plus managed care web site reviews and links from our subscriber only portion of our web site and much more."
