Health Proponent: Help for Health Care and Insurance Problems

ASA recently added Health Proponent to its offering of member benefit programs. This provides professional assistance regarding medical bills, health insurance benefits, and medical bill dispute resolution. Health Proponent also searches for qualified physicians, specialists, and services in your area. Members can take the private Health Risk Assessment online for an immediate summary of risks for major conditions and diseases. For more information about Health Proponent, please visit http://www.healthproponent.com/.
