Novus Continues U.S. Expansion of its Dispensary Network

ACCESSWIRE - finance.yahoo.com Posted 6 years ago

- Significant Milestones Achieved in the Summer of 2018
- Adds 13 Additional Providers to Network

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 25, 2018 / 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 announce continued expansion of its cannabis dispensary network that carries Novus Cannabis MedPlan in the U.S.

Additionally, Novus recently received recognition from Investor Place Magazine as the 22nd ranked of the top 30 cannabis companies in America.

Ever-Expanding Dispensary Network

As the summer of 2018 may be the lows in volume for small cap stocks it hasn't stifled the progress for Novus. The Company has successfully added 13 dispensaries, cultivators and manufacturers that offer anywhere from 30% to 50% on cannabis medications to the Novus Cannabis MedPlan patient member base.

Here is a list of new providers that have signed on over the past 45 days:

  • On Deck Coop-California
  • 421Hemp Nationwide-Nationwide
  • Hawaiian Choices-Hawaii
  • Ride Roundtrip Medical-Med Transportation 15 States
  • Better Health Group-California
  • Two One Five-California
  • Liberate Physician Center-Florida
  • Kaiya Naturals Nationwide-Nationwide
  • Vallejo Relief Center-California
  • BioLief, LLC-California
  • Medical Full Spectrum Hemp Co-Nationwide
  • Leave It To Nature-California
  • HWY1 ORGANICS-California

As Novus expands its in-network provider base, there are two compelling aspects to Novus and the Cannabis industry.

  • As research expands on cannabis' medicinal value and its usefulness in treating many conditions, there are fundamental issues that still exist. The vast amount of unknowns about the efficacy on how marijuana actually serves the medicinal patient population, however, reports from the scientific community points to all positives to cannabis.

With break-through research, expansion of large cultivators/manufacturers, or even big pharma that may enter the marketplace, there is one aspect to the industry that delivers a strong opportunity, making cannabis meds affordable to consumers, and, this is where health plans enter the picture and with this caveat demonstrates Novus' business model as an emerging and sustainable business model

  • What makes Novus well positioned in its industry? When there is a downturn of the stock market or the overall economy, one industry that is recession proof is healthcare, this industry tends to fare greatly in a bear market. Healthcare for Americans will always be a priority with over 390 million physician visits with 80% resulting in prescription medications. Novus being a part of the health insurance will shine regardless of how the economy performs.

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.

Story continues

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.
