VOORHEES, NJ 1/15/09 -- In the fast paced world of data processing involving exchanges of healthcare billing information, Gerard Ferro built a solid base of expertise and a profitable business. Even after he successfully sold Professional Administrative Services, SimCare, and Benefit Specialists, to a national healthcare organization, he couldn't get the business out of his head.

After years of dealing with healthcare and prescription billing, Ferro was not only solving automation issues but came to recognize the inherent problems and opportunities for fraud and abuse in the sprawling national system.

Acting as a consultant and expert witness for the Department of Labor arm of the FBI, a number of State Attorney General Offices, many local authorities and testifying before a Senate Sub-Committee, Ferro became a recognized authority on healthcare billing fraud in order to further their investigations.

"The serious problems and deficiencies of the system are really glaringly obvious," says Ferro, now CEO of Free For All Incorporated.

"After performing over 250 audits, generally we found 25% of plan benefits were abused which were costing the beneficiaries millions of dollars", says Ferro. In one highly publicized audit In New York State he uncovered a systematic scheme that bilked the healthcare program for over $400 million.

"The investigative work has been satisfying because we really made a difference but it troubled me that we were not dealing with the underlying problem," says Ferro "Prescription drugs continue to increase and there are over 45 million people in the United States with no prescription drug coverage. That's the real problem!"

Ferro's solution was to create RxCut(R), a free Prescription Savings Program. RxCut(R) negotiated significant discounts at more than 54,000 pharmacies nationwide, including all the major chains.

By providing millions of free RxCut(R) Prescription Savings Cards through large corporations, non-profit organizations, unions and health related organizations, RxCut(R) is driving traffic to these pharmacies. In exchange the pharmacies are honoring the RxCut(R) Savings Cards and providing participants with the lowest prices on prescription medications.

The RxCut(R) Prescription Savings Cards are available through many companies and organizations and also downloadable free online at the www.rxcut.com website. The results to date are impressive; across the country hundreds of thousands of RxCut(R) participants are experiencing dramatic savings between 20 and 75 percent.

For example, the RxCut(R) card helps participants access the up to 50 percent savings in pill splitting dosages. Ferro has developed a website to check if a medication can be split. Pharmaceutical manufactures charge the same amount for different strengths. For example; a popular 20MG brand medication, cost is approx. $125 for 30 pills, and the cost for 40MG is the same! If the doctor changes the prescription to 40MG the participant would get twice the pills for the same price by splitting.

In this economy 45 million uninsured Americans are already at risk and need immediate help with rising prescription drug costs. RxCut(R) is the answer!
