Innovating Modern Rules for Cannabis Health Plans to Fuel Continued Growth for 2020
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2019 / Novus Acquisition and Development, Corp. (OTC PINK:NDEV), through its wholly-owned subsidiary WCIG Insurance Services, Inc., is a diversified insurance entity in health, liability, annuity and accident, and, the nation’s first carrier/aggregator offering a cannabis health plan, is pleased to provide a breakdown of how its health plan is a driver for continued growth in 2020.
Thanks to changing market demands and added government focus, High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) enrollment may reach unprecedented heights for 2020 and possibly even exceed industry expectations. Nearly 40%¹ of insured Americans are now covered by an HDHP, which offer a much lower monthly premium payment in exchange for a higher annual deductible, up to $13,000 per year.
Next to substantial premium savings, nothing incentivizes an employee to enroll in an HDHP more than an employer making contributions into a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) which never expires, and funds can be accumulated. Enrollment in these tax-exempt accounts are experiencing over a 125 percent increase in the market, with estimates that enrollment could expand to 45 million people in 2020.
Novus Chief Executive Officer Frank Labrozzi, stated, “We get a lot of questions on how Novus’ plans, that include cannabis can get tax exemption and be compliant with Federal Regulations. The answer comes from three sources; federal and state tax exemptions on premium payments combined with preferred pricing from our Cannabis Provider Network.
For patient/members, to receive full benefits they are required to purchase traditional plans then Novus includes cannabis benefits as a value added with a 64% savings versus other competitive plans. As for Novus’ profit it is inherently built within these plans.
Here’s the Novus breakdown:
*The above is based on an Individual Plan with $29.95 premium payments per month for an annual cost of $359.40, which is added to the “Yearly Health Care Purchases.”
The Novus business model is based on multiple recurring revenue streams from the monthly premiums paid by its members; ranging from $24.95 to $38.95 per month.

Novus has developed its infrastructure within many lines of the insurance business such as health, property & casualty, life, accident, and fixed annuities.
Novus’ medical cannabis benefits package will work as outside developers and will not cultivate, handle, transport grow, extract, dispense, put up for sale, put on the market, vend, deliver, supply, circulate, or trade cannabis or any substances that violate the United States law or the Controlled Substances Act, nor does it intend to do so in the future and will continue to follow state and federal laws. The statements made about specific products have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. All information provided on these press releases or any information contained on or in any product label or packaging is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from your physician or other health care professional. Once a push notification is competed the transaction is solely between the state-licensed dispensary and the registered patient.
The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The current administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws, allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the current administration, nor any future administration, will not change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial changes to Novus Medical Group. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis or cannabis related products, we may be harmed by a change in enforcement by federal or state governments.
