Petersen International

    Petersen International Underwriters is pleased to announce the U.S. launch of their newly enhanced short term medical plan.  This popular medical insurance platform has now been adorned with a preferred provider network from First Health, removing the bothersome, inefficient requirement of claims reimbursements.  Client out-of-pocket expenses will be limited only to standard policy deductibles.

    According to Robert Russo of Petersen’s medical insurance division, “With this exciting new enhancement, no longer will an insured person need to worry about paying up-front for medical services nor having to submit claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred.  The addition of a well-known and reliable PPO network to our short term medical product will be a key marketing advancement for the agents and brokers who prescribe this type of coverage to those needing a short-term healthcare solution.”

    Of further interest, Petersen International is providing the First Health PPO network at no additional cost to applicants of the short term medical plan.

    Petersen International Underwriters specializes in unique medical, life and disability insurance programs for individuals, small businesses and large corporations.  They can be reached at (800) 345-8816 or at piu@piu.org.
