LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 10, 2008 -- Beginning November 15, 2008, senior citizens in southern Nevada can make the choice to receive the premier healthcare in Las Vegas at no additional cost by ensuring their insurance provider covers Canyon Gate Medical Group. The primary care physician group, which accepts most major insurance providers including Medicare, delivers the extremely personalized and comprehensive attention heralded by "boutique" and "concierge" practices, but without the costly annual or monthly membership fees. Canyon Gate Medical Group takes the stress and guesswork out of healthcare decisions by matching each patient with a primary care doctor who is available to them 24 hours daily over the course of their life; serves as medical liaison with specialists, during hospital stays and emergency room visits; and offers same-day appointments with minimal wait times.

Canyon Gate Medical Group is an affiliate of Outcome Based Delivery Systems (OBDS), the owner of preeminent medical practices in Las Vegas and South Florida, with demonstrated experience in the senior market. The cornerstone of Canyon Gate's mission to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare is based on more frequent and regular interaction with patients, enabling physicians to focus on keeping people healthy, early detection and treatment. The approach significantly lowers overall medical costs, including those typically incurred in the emergency room, through specialists and hospital stays. Canyon Gate patients take comfort in knowing that one physician, who is an expert on their personal medical history, can coordinate all prescriptions and treatments to ensure the best possible outcome.

"During open enrollment, insurance providers have trended toward focusing on promotional added benefits like gym memberships or nutritionists rather than on what should be the core foundation of any individual's choice: the quality of care offered by physicians under their plan," said Eric Moskow, MD, CEO of OBDS. "Canyon Gate is committed to providing its patients the finest physicians in an un-hurried, personal atmosphere, which results in significantly higher patient satisfaction and higher quality healthcare. We pride ourselves on serving as a personal medical liaison, so there is never confusion regarding prescriptions, treatment history or specialist recommendations. As a patient of Canyon Gate, your physician is your partner in health and wellness and will be there with you every step of the way."
