  17. InterFit’s Internet Expansion • InterFit’s website will: • inform consumers about lab tests, • allow them to order and pay for a lab test online, • help them select a nearby blood drawing station. • After blood is drawn, within two days the easy-to-read results will be: • stored in a personalized, password-protected part of the website, • forwarded to the consumer’s physician if they so desire. • If the results are out of the expected range the system will: • suggest that the individual contact their physician or • provide links to local physician referral networks if requested. • A toll-free number will allow those without internet access to order tests. Results will be faxed or mailed to the individual and to the physician, if requested.

  18. InterFit’s Internet Expansion • Individuals can set up a personal record on the website to: • store their actual lab results, • display trends of results as repeat testing is done, • track other personal health information, such as blood pressure, • take a health risk appraisal to evaluate their own health risks. • E-mails will be sent to previous users containing: • recommendations for follow-up testing and • health-related information. • The site will contain health news and links to other health-related sites. • The site will make available other items and services for sale such as: • home testing kits, • health coaching, and • links to sites for pharmaceuticals, vitamins and other items.

  19. InterFit’s Market Approach • The market approach will have two initiatives: • a regional focus and • a broader national awareness campaign. • The plan for the regional roll-out will: • begin with Houston, • expand to other major Texas cities, then • move to other areas based on population and demand from employers, retailers, and other business partners. • In each region InterFit will: • partner with local healthcare providers, including physician referral sources, • utilize InterFit look-alikes to reach corporate clients in that area, • market to companies, fitness clubs and retailers in that area.

  20. InterFit’s Market Approach • National marketing efforts will: • build on a growing interest in wellness and disease prevention, • educate people about their ability to request lab tests without a doctor office visit, and • encourage the public to take responsibility for their own health. • Tactics used may include: • public relations stories in national media, • articles or advertising in publications such as Modern Maturity, Prevention, or Good Housekeeping, and • sponsorships on health-related internet sites.

  21. Business to Business Strategy • The internet site will allow InterFit to expand its corporate business to meet the needs of companies in multiple regions of the country. It will accomplish this by staffing events itself or with contract service agencies or by partnering with InterFit look-alikes in other regions. • Utilization by corporate client employees of both health screening and fitness programs will rise because of increased access to services. • InterFit will have the resources to serve national retail and fitness companies as it rolls out on a region by region basis.

  22. Business to Business Strategy • InterFit is forming strategic partnerships with other web-based healthcare businesses that market to employers’ health benefits or EAP programs. • InterFit will also establish links from health content portals whereby people visiting the portal and reading about a particular medical condition will see a click-through asking them if they want to be tested for that particular condition.

  23. Profiles of Corporate Clients • Corporations who engage InterFit to operate health fairs are: • employers with over 1,000 local employees, • self insuring on their health benefit plan, • reducing insurance costs through wellness and disease prevention. • Internet ASPs and health portals who may wish to private label the InterFit product as part of their own health site which is: • focused on health and fitness, • with personalized medical record features, or • focused on corporate benefit or employee assistance programs. • National retail chains that wish to make testing services available to their customers as a promotion might include: • retail pharmacy chains, • grocery stores, and • fitness centers

  24. Business to Consumer Strategy • InterFit offers individuals the ability to purchase lab tests without a visit to the doctor. This offers many advantages: • pricing averages 30% lower than the cost of lab tests done in a physician’s office, • the client saves the time of the office visit and is able to have blood drawn without an appointment at their convenience, • testing locations are generally easier to access than hospitals or physician offices, • results are received in two days, much quicker than most tests done elsewhere, • results are confidential and seen only by the client; there is no involvement by an employer insurance plan or doctor’s office staff, and • although InterFit requires payment up front by the client, receipts for insurance can be printed and submitted for possible reimbursement.

  25. Business to Consumer Strategy • InterFit is negotiating with large grocery and drug store chains to place kiosks with internet access and potentially blood pressure cuffs in the store pharmacies. This would allow people to seek health and drug information, measure their blood pressure, and purchase blood screening while they wait for their prescriptions to be filled. • Similar kiosks are anticipated in fitness facilities located nationally, providing members with access to health and wellness information, as well as to the facility’s web site where members can schedule classes, court time, or spa services in the fitness facility.

  26. Internet Security • Protecting users’ confidentiality and privacy is the highest priority. • InterFit will address security issues at every level: • Common protection technologies such as SSL encryption, firewalls, • and web server authentication will be utilized. • Health information is covered by the new HIPAA government • privacy regulations and InterFit will comply with those laws, • Using a database architecture and administrative access policies • that ensure security will be of key importance. • Storefront e-commerce interface will be used to protect credit card • data.

  27. Summary • With over 400 million lab tests done annually on outpatients and revenues of $8 billion, the market for patient self referral testing is significant. • InterFit will become a major facilitator of personal health testing by allowing individuals to be tested without first visiting their doctors. • The business to business market is large, with corporate health fairs, retail promotions and internet sites as major market segments. • With tests priced 30% lower than in physicians’ offices and the convenience of blood draws when the customer prefers, InterFit will appeal to many consumers. • Many customers will prefer the confidentiality and convenience InterFit offers over that of a physician’s office. • Limited competition exists, InterFit can have first mover advantage. • The customer experience is more complete because: • they get their own complete results, • the results are explained clearly, and • results are received on a timely basis.
