Indianapolis, IN – June 26, 2007 – GroupLink, a member company of Independence Holding Company (NYSE: IHC), today announced the launch of myGroupLink, a comprehensive online portal which provides a fast, simple and secure way for brokers, employers, providers and employees to submit and obtain the information necessary to effectively manage and service dental plans.
 
Integrating myGroupLink with Planager, GroupLink’s proprietary administration system, has created an efficient, online way to navigate and use GroupLink’s dental insurance offerings.

MyGroupLink offers brokers and employers convenient access to information that has traditionally required a phone call or fax, such as proposal requests, activity, commission information, client history and much more. In addition, myGroupLink leverages the power of the Web to enable GroupLink’s General Agent and broker distribution channel to provide higher customer service levels, and a better overall customer experience at no additional cost to the broker or client.
 
Beginning July 1, 2007, site visitors can access myGroupLink at www.grouplinktpa.com. GroupLink will conduct a series of Webinars to demonstrate the new portal tool and to show brokers how to use its online rating system.
 
“It is a rare opportunity when you can simultaneously reduce expenses, improve customer service and offer real-time sales support,” said Roger Skinner, president of GroupLink. “We are enthusiastic about myGroupLink because it is enabling us to provide a level of service that is second to none in the dental benefits industry today. MyGroupLink is making it faster, more efficient and easier to do business with us than ever before.”
 
Highlights of myGroupLink include:
 
·         Web-based administration portals for employers, employees, brokers and providers.
·         Employers and employees have 24/7 access to information about their dental plans including eligibility, claim status and billing information.
·         Brokers have convenient access to an online quoting system, allowing them to generate proposals immediately, as well as online access to enrollment materials.
·         Providers can verify eligibility, submit and review status of claims for their patients.
