DIGITAL INSURANCE EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE WITH “LIMITED MEDICAL AND WELLNESS” OFFERINGS

Provides Low-Cost Small Business Insurance Options Through Partnership with Cost Containment Group

ATLANTA – April 14, 2008 -- Digital Insurance, Inc. (www.digitalinsurance.com), the fastest-growing national employee benefits broker focused on small business insurance coverage is expanding its product line to include non-traditional or “limited medical and wellness” offerings. The addition of these plans is a significant enhancement to Digital’s INcompass suite of services, enabling the company to provide a wider range of low-cost healthcare products to small employers.

In response to spiraling major medical premiums, an estimated 39 percent of employers don’t offer health insurance. In fact, less than half of small businesses with three to nine employees offer this benefit.* “We believe small businesses would offer a benefits package to valuable employees if they could do so within their budget,” says Adam Bruckman, president and chief executive officer of Digital Insurance. “Limited medical benefit plans – being used by more than a million Americans -- may be an affordable option.”

Although not the right choice for everyone, limited medical and wellness benefit plans are gaining interest among small businesses and employers with low-wage, part-time or contract workers. These products are designed for employees who may not have health insurance, whose coverage is being reduced or who can no longer afford family coverage. With price points of $100, $150 and $200 per employee per month, they help people gain access to basic medical care such as doctor visits, prescription drugs and wellness solutions.

Through a new strategic partnership with Cost Containment Group (CCG) and access to its limited medical products, Digital now offers this viable low-cost alternative to expensive traditional healthcare plans. The relationship between Digital and CCG supports both organizations’ goal to bring the best products and value to the small business community, serving this underserved segment of the market.
