Abovehealth Announces Strategic Alliance with Subimo; Subimo Tools to Offer Abovehealth Clients Powerful Personalized Healthcare Decision Support.

SAN DIEGO -- Abovehealth(R), a leading eHealth solution provider, and Subimo, LLC, a leading provider of web-based healthcare decision support tools, have formed a strategic alliance to offer Abovehealth clients the opportunity to supply health plan members with the Subimo Healthcare Advisor(TM) via the member portal. This powerful online toolset will allow members to search for healthcare information and compare hospitals, physicians, and drugs.

"By empowering members with this toolset, Abovehealth adds another feature to its integrated eHealth platform that addresses consumer-driven healthcare capabilities," says Jack Johnson, Abovehealth CEO. "We expect use of this toolset to result in healthier living for members and an overall reduction of healthcare costs for plans, providers, and consumers. With the growing demand for consumer-driven health plans and patient education, the Subimo toolset fills an important need."

The Subimo Healthcare Advisor is a robust online system for providing personalized consumer healthcare information within a consistent and intuitive educational assessment and decision-making framework. It provides information for more than 90 conditions and procedures, including how to manage the condition, prepare for a procedure, questions to ask the doctor and benefit plan, and links to other resources. It also includes the Subimo Hospital Advisor(TM), which gives users the ability to choose a hospital based on specific criteria such as outcomes, teaching facility and location, and the Subimo Physician Advisor(TM), which gives users the ability to choose physicians based on specific physician information.

Ann Mond Johnson, Subimo President, is enthusiastic about the agreement with Abovehealth. "Offering Subimo research tools to its Abovehealth clients changes the dynamic for users -- marrying state-of-the-art tools with state-of-the-art information to make better healthcare decisions. When consumers make more informed decisions, they are likely to recover more quickly, keeping downtime, complications and the corresponding costs to a minimum. It's a genuine win-win situation for the consumer and the employer."
