Insurance News - WPS Health Insurance Launches New Individual ...

Mar 09, 2010 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- WPS Health Insurance has introduced WPS Bridge65, a new individual health plan for people ages 60 to 64 who want the security of a fixed monthly premium in Wisconsin, US.

WPS said that the WPS Bridge65 monthly rate can be 'locked' for up to five years. WPS Bridge65 can be customized to suit individual needs. WPS offers a range of benefit and deductible levels for the plan, as well as prescription drug coverage.

People can choose a traditional copay plan similar to what one may have under a group policy, or a health savings account-qualified plan that allows customers to save for current and future medical expenses in a tax-free health savings account.

WPS is currently accepting applications for this medically underwritten product, for coverage dates of April 1, 2010 or later. Any individual between the ages of 60 and 64 who is a US citizen or resident legal alien and a Wisconsin resident can apply for WPS Bridge65. Mar. 19--During the subprime loan era, it\'s well documented that lenders took all kinds of shortcuts -- such as failing to verify borrowers\' employment or income -- to sell mortgages. Now Bank of America Corp., the nation\'s biggest mortgage lender, is saying the nation\'s second-largest title insurer did much the same thing and should be on the hook for more than $500 million in losses.
