The first-of-its-kind Healthcare Spending Card¹ (offered through Lane Health) is powered by CorServ’s Payment Cards-as-a-Service API


Lane Health was seeking to evolve its credit card solution with highly configurable spend controls. They wanted to add capabilities that would ensure the Card¹could be fully implemented using APIs – allowing their system to more easily communicate with the payment solution technology. The need for more powerful spend controls emphasized the necessity for an efficient and open communication path to be the most impactful solution for Lane Health customers.

Solution

Lane Health partnered with modern payment card issuing company, CorServ to launch a Visa-approved first-of-its-kind merchant-restricted health spending card. CorServ’s Payment Cards as a Service API (PCaaSA) enabled Lane Health to build the solution that was perfect for what they needed while also providing the resources and insights to navigate this typically complex process with ease. Along with the guidance, CorServ’s solution also gives Lane Health access to in-depth analytics and reporting to provide them with the insights they were looking for in order to make the Healthcare Spending Card¹ issuing program a success.

Results

The Healthcare Spending Card¹ is a highly customizable and flexible card payment solution that controls user spending based on merchant category codes. With this payment card solution, customers can use one card for their healthcare bills by simply swiping it when they have a qualified healthcare expense – medical, dental, prescriptions, or vision. If consumers link their health savings account ³ (HSA), available pre-tax funds in that account will be applied as a form of repayment. Lane Health then provides consumers with convenient repayment options over time, up to 12 months¹.

“At the core of the solution is the desire to revolutionize the way people pay for healthcare,” said Lev Peysekhman, Chief Product Officer at Lane Health. “With CorServ’s PCaaSA, we were able to create a first-of-its-kind solution and provide our customers with a convenient and impactful resource to help alleviate the stresses of healthcare expenses.”

“CorServ addressed Lane Health’s unique business need and was able to deliver and embed innovative payment card capabilities for their partners,” said Anil Goyal, CEO of CorServ. “The power of APIs enables customization to offer the best solution for your market so companies like Lane Health can innovate and succeed.”

¹ The Healthcare Spending Card and the line of credit are issued by WebBank. Card must be activated before funds can be accessed.
² Each transaction is repaid on a 12-month term (with a minimum $3 due each payment period). Transactions other than dental or hospital expenses (based on merchant category code) will be charged an origination fee of 5% and periodic finance fees. The location of the service provider is not determinative of whether a transaction is a hospital expense. Rather, transactions made within or at a hospital (including but not limited to specialists, doctors, pharmacies, etcetera, are determined to be eligible by the associated MCC and not the location of the service provider in the hospital). New Advances, if eligible, can be repaid in full or over 4 installments with no origination or periodic finance fees. Late fees apply.
³ HSAs that are linked during application must be owned and in the name of the applicant and issued by the applicant’s employer.

Top Boulder, CO-based corporate team joins leading distributed firm Scale LLP, following national consolidation trend


Scale bolsters its Corporate & Securities practice with the addition of an experienced women-led corporate team

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Scale LLP, the full-service, national law firm built by former Silicon-Valley tech GCs to serve high-growth companies, announced today that Katy Reamon, Channah Rose, Jenna Geuke, and Tyler Hayden, formerly of Sage Law Group, are joining the firm’s growing Corporate & Securities practice. Katy Reamon will join Scale LLP as its new Corporate & Securities Co-Practice Group Leader.

The team expands Scale’s existing Colorado and Oregon footprints, bringing a sophisticated M&A, corporate and commercial transactions practice that serves a wide variety of high-growth industries, including SaaS and software deployment, biotech and medical devices, clean tech, venture capital and private equity.

This announcement follows recent news on Scale’s boutique firm acquisitions. As the premium national distributed firm, Scale sees opportunity in national expansion through strategic partnerships.

“Katy, Channah and their team are business lawyers and entrepreneurs with experience serving clients across every stage of growth,” said Scale Managing Partner David Reidy. “We were impressed by their practice, but as we got to know the team we also realized that they see the evolution and transformation of legal practice the same way we do. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to Scale and to continue building a national firm together,” said Reidy. “Katy Reamon’s role as Corporate & Securities Co-Practice Group Leader at Scale signals our belief in this team and our growth strategy. She’s an amazing addition to our leadership team.”

Reamon was attracted to Scale because of the firm’s entrepreneurial roots and collective culture. “Team is important to us, and we wanted to grow our practice by becoming part of a highly collaborative community that has a national reach,” Reamon said. “We share many core values, like humility, empathy, entrepreneurship, and inclusivity, and we are aligned in our desire to make the practice of law sustainable and fulfilling. We share that with other attorneys at Scale and are looking forward to complementing practice areas to address an even wider range of our clients’ day-to-day legal needs.”

“I was initially impressed by the caliber of attorneys at Scale. Everyone has a resume that screams ‘Excellence!’ But what won me over was the palpable energy and excitement I felt from every single attorney I spoke to,” said Partner Channah Rose. “It felt like a group of people that know they are building something truly unique and are having a blast doing it.”

Associates Jenna Geuke and Tyler Hayden will also join Scale. Geuke is a corporate and commercial attorney who takes a business-minded approach to legal solutions. Having worked as in-house counsel at Techstars, a top global accelerator company with an investment portfolio of over 2,500 companies, her experience has given her a deep familiarity with high-growth start-up challenges. Tyler Hayden is also a corporate and commercial attorney with a passion for entrepreneurship. It was Colorado’s thriving entrepreneurial scene that lured Tyler to relocate, and now startups rely on him to deliver practical legal advice.

The boutique team addition is the continuation of what Scale sees as a wave of opportunity to expand through strategic partnerships, leveraging technology and the new post-pandemic shift to a less localized practice of law. Scale VP of Talent, Jessica Sisco, who leads the firm’s recruiting initiatives, sees an uptick of high-quality boutique teams with interest in partnering with the growing Scale community. “Boutique law firm teams are seeing the opportunity to build fulfilling practices as part of a larger, remote firm network of high-caliber attorneys. They can share in collective practice success without having to shoulder the burdens of running the back-office,” observes Sisco. “It’s a no brainer for many boutique teams.”

About Scale LLP

Called the “Wave of the Future” by Reuters, Scale LLP is a full-service distributed law firm built by Silicon Valley founders and GCs to provide an alternative to a traditional private practice. In addition to serving as general counsel, Scale attorneys have been founders and entrepreneurs, have served in BigLaw and in government, and have learned their trade in the courtroom. Scale brings real-world experience and the benefits of a fully-remote work structure to provide expertise and value to clients across its Corporate & Securities, General Counsel Services, Fintech & Financial Services, Real Estate & Land Use, Litigation and IP practices nationally.

InVivo Biosystems Secures New Investment to Accelerate CRISPR Innovation


“The new investment in our corporate vision at a time when CRISPR’s capabilities to transform therapeutic outcomes is worldwide news, will fuel existing innovation initiatives and breakthrough capabilities,” said Matt Beaudet, Chief Executive Officer, InVivo Biosystems. “The financial infusion coupled with the appointment of new Board Chairman C. Palani Palaniappan puts the Company in an exciting position to make even further breakthroughs in 2024.”

C. Palani Palaniappan shared his perspective on the Invivo Biosystems opportunity, “The transformative power of CRISPR in real-world applications is becoming evident through recent drug approvals in curing sickle cell anemia or many forms of blood cancer are paradigm changing concepts of ‘living drugs.’ InVivo’s core IP and expertise in CRISPR gene engineering in model organisms are helping accelerate drug discovery with both rapid turnaround and affordability. It offers a compelling case for many biotech and pharma partners to capitalize on. I am thrilled to support the InVivo Biosystems team alongside the other accomplished board members to realize the full potential of CRISPR capabilities in revolutionizing medical innovation for the 21st Century.”

Most recently InVivo Biosystems has seen its solutions validated via new technology patents and key grants for further product development.

  • Funding for AI-based Monitoring of Zebrafish: InVivo Biosystems was awarded a $2.8M Fast-Track SBIR grant from the NIH to create an automated, AI-based monitoring system for zebrafish in its home tanks, easing the burden on facility managers and enabling enhanced reproducibility of scientific results. This is particularly important for combining this technology with genome-edited fish that recapitulate human diseases, allowing for automated deep phenotyping that can aid in drug discovery efforts.
  • Licensing of a High Throughput CRISPR Technology: the University of Utah issued an exclusive license to InVivo Biosystems for a new CRISPR-enabling technology named MIC-Drop. The technology partitions CRISPR reagents into microfluidic droplets, enabling multiplexed creation and delivery of genetic knockouts in vivo. The technology mimics a traditional forward genetic screen for the identification of targets, combining that with intelligent design and intentional selection of genes and subdomains.
  • Granting of an Innovative Patent for Animal Humanization: InVivo Biosystems was granted a patent on its technology to create transgenic research animals bearing human versions of disease-causing genes. This innovative patent increases the translational potential for discovering new target-based drugs in animal models with completely orthologous targets or binding domains.
