“Carrying liability auto insurance is important for every driver. The liability coverage is a driver’s first line of defense if he causes an accident”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains the advantages offered by liability auto insurance.

In most states, the liability coverage is the minimum required coverage in order to drive legally. Without this coverage, drivers risk losing their licenses and hefty fines. Causing an accident without carrying liability coverage can make the driver pay enormous bills for the damage they caused.

Liability coverage has two main components:


  • Bodily injury liability coverage. It covers other’s people bodily injuries if a policyholder is at-fault in a car accident. It also provides legal defense if another party involved in the accident decides to sue the policyholder. In general, bodily injury liability covers up to the policyholder’s limits the following claims: medical expenses of an injured party, loss of income, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering.

  • Property damage liability coverage. It covers property damage caused by the policyholder to another party involved in an accident he caused. Damages done to vehicles, fences, buildings, poles, and many others are covered by this policy.

Liability insurance is usually broken into three amounts: limit per person for bodily injury, per accident limit bodily injury, and a property damage limit. For example, 25/50/25 can be read as follow. First number 25, represents $25,000 and is the maximum amount a policy will pay for the medical expenses of a single person involved in an accident. Second number 50, represents $50,000 and is the maximum amount a policy will pay for the medical expenses of all injured persons in an incident. The third number 25, represents $25,000 and is the amount of property damage this policy will pay if the policyholder is at fault in an accident.

Celebrating Six Years as a Top Women-Owned Business: Firefly Consulting

Leave a comment


Organized around the idea of offering smaller teams staffed with deeply experienced consultants, the model challenged the traditional consulting team format.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Firefly Consulting is marking its ten-year anniversary of helping organizations meet and exceed their goals in operational excellence, building solutions around complex business challenges, and helping companies establish self-sustaining continuous improvement environments. And for the 6th consecutive year, Firefly is celebrating its recognition as one of Austin Business Journal’s Top Women-Owned Businesses of Austin.

A brief timeline: Firefly Consulting was created in 2009, the brain child of Kimberly Watson Hemphill, who enlisted her friend and former colleague, Kristine Nissen Bradley, to build the upstart firm. Organized around the idea of offering smaller teams staffed with deeply experienced consultants, the model challenged the traditional consulting team format reliant on larger groups of less practiced junior members.

The move has been successful. In 2010, Firefly worked with its first Fortune 500 business, and in 2011 it took its Lean operating model international. By the time the team published its first book, Innovating Lean Six Sigma (McGrawHill, 2016), it had grown considerably and was serving a diverse portfolio of industries from oil & gas to private equity to healthcare. Today it has an office in Paris, France and has recently published a benchmarking study investigating the effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma deployments. The results reflect insights from respondents at Amazon, BMW, Baker Hughes, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Interstate Batteries, Eli Lilly, Superior HealthPlan and many others. The full report can be downloaded at https://firefly-consulting.com/pr/.

New Paper From The Fenway Institute Provides Blueprint for Building Transgender Health Programs in Primary Care Settings

Leave a comment


The Fenway Insitute logo

By integrating such care into existing primary care settings, we would expect to see more transgender and gender-diverse people accessing health care treatment they might not otherwise receive with an overall improvement in their wellness and quality of life as a result.


BOSTON (PRWEB)

A paper published in Annals of Family Medicine provides a concise and practical guide for physicians and others managing primary care practices on how to develop and integrate transgender health programs within existing practices. It is the first peer-reviewed publication on how to develop and deliver these potentially life-saving programs for an underserved but increasingly visible population that experiences significant health inequities.

Authored by leading educators and clinical experts on transgender health care from Harvard, Fenway Health, and The Fenway Institute, the paper was written in response to numerous requests from primary care organizations in need of assistance with planning and implementing transgender health programs.

“Transgender health experts now agree that gender-affirming hormone therapy can be safely delivered as part of routine care by a trained primary care clinician,” said Dr. Alex Keuroghlian, an author of the study who directs the National LGBT Health Education Center at The Fenway Institute and the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Gender Identity Program. “By integrating such care into existing primary care settings, we would expect to see more transgender and gender-diverse people accessing health care treatment they might not otherwise receive with an overall improvement in their wellness and quality of life as a result.”

Organizations with the resources to do so are advised to consult with the local community via focus groups and interviews with transgender and gender-diverse community leaders to assess the community’s needs. Practices that do not have the financial or staff capacity to conduct a formal needs assessment are advised to begin by training clinicians on relevant care guidelines for transgender and gender-diverse patients, providing gender-affirming medical treatments, and building a referral network for surgeries and other external services.

All of the suggestions in the paper can be adapted for small practices with one or two trained clinicians providing hormone therapy within a welcoming environment as well as larger practices with the capacity to deliver comprehensive gender-affirming care, including primary care, endocrinology, gynecology, mental health, voice therapy, and surgical care.

“Regardless of the size of the practice, it’s important that all patient-centered staff, both clinical and nonclinical, receive training on how to effectively communicate with transgender and gender-diverse patients,” said Keuroghlian. “Such training would cover the importance of using patients’ correct names and pronouns, maintaining confidentiality of gender identities, avoiding assumptions about gender, being open to nonbinary gender identities, and avoiding questions not pertinent to care.”

Other issues addressed in the paper include:

  • Accessing low-cost clinical training.

  • Addressing staff concerns and resistance that can arise with the implementation of any new program, but especially one that is focused on a stigmatized population. Tips include holding staff presentations that emphasize how offering transgender health care will position the organization at the vanguard of reducing health disparities, and how gender-affirming care aligns with the principles of medical ethics, such as beneficence and justice. Inviting transgender and gender-diverse people to speak with staff about their personal experiences seeking health care is also helpful.

  • Suggested staff roles and competencies for a primary care transgender health program including primary care clinicians, behavioral health clinicians, case managers, front desk/patient service representatives, medical assistants, and program directors.

  • Covering financial costs of care, which may necessitate the hiring of care navigators who can advocate for treatment coverage by health insurers.

  • Collecting and recording patient data on gender identity in electronic health records.

  • Creating welcoming environments that include clearly labeled all-gender restrooms, prominently posted nondiscrimination policies, and intake forms with dedicated space for a full range of gender identities, sexual orientations, chose names, pronouns, and names on insurance and legal documents.

  • Providing trauma-informed care that recognizes that transgender and gender-diverse patients may need additional choices and autonomy to engage in particular kinds of medical care, such as a self-administered cervical swab for human papillomavirus testing among trans masculine people.

Since 1971, Fenway Health has been working to make life healthier for the people in our neighborhoods, the LGBTQ community, people living with HIV/AIDS and the broader population. The Fenway Institute at Fenway Health is an interdisciplinary center for research, training, education and policy development focusing on national and international health issues.

Home Gym Retailer Does the Heavy Lifting Needed to Earn a Top 5-Star Rating from TopConsumerReviews.com

Leave a comment


News Image

When starting a new fitness routine, you want a name you can trust, and that is just one of the many reasons we name Bowflex as our highest-recommended Home Gym retailer in 2020.


OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (PRWEB)

TopConsumerReviews.com has awarded its best-in-class 5 star rating to Bowflex, a leader among online retailers of Home Gyms.

With the start of every new year, crowds surge at local gyms and fitness centers. Unsurprisingly, after a few weeks, attendance drops back to normal. Why? Many people struggle to work one more stop into their daily errands, and driving to the gym is one of the first to go. The obvious solution is to have a Home Gym. When equipping their own area for working out, most beginners immediately think of cardio equipment like treadmills or exercise bikes. However, exercise science has increasingly shown that a good strength regimen is the key to losing weight, building lean muscle mass, and even burning more calories while at rest. This makes it a must to have some kind of Home Gym equipment that focuses on strength-building, whether that’s a series of kettlebells and dumbbells or an all-in-one machine that targets all of the various muscle groups in the body.

“Bowflex is one of the most recognized names among Home Gyms, and with good reason,” according to Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. “For more than 20 years, the company has continued to innovate, bringing a world-class, resistance-based system to consumers around the world. The Bowflex Home Gym delivers over 100 different strength exercises, with a weight equivalent of up to 600 pounds – but without having to make room for unwieldy weight plates and space-consuming barbells you’d see in a public fitness center. Loyal customers of Bowflex rave about the quality of the equipment, the responsiveness of the company’s representatives, and the overall experience of using the Home Gym system. The company sweetens the deal with guarantees of at least 5 years, free delivery, and available financing for most consumers. When starting a new fitness routine, you want a name you can trust, and that is just one of the many reasons we name Bowflex as our highest-recommended Home Gym retailer in 2020.”

MediTelecare is rapidly rolling out MediTelecareGo!™ and has onboarded over 20 skilled nursing centers with over 1,200 residents in the past 30 days. Additionally, the user-friendly portal can be managed by a member of a facility’s staff, making it easy to introduce residents to telehealth while providing a “turnkey” solution for facilities to train staff on administering televideo services.

Senior Car Insurance 2020 – How To Keep Insurance Costs Under Control

Leave a comment


News Image

“Car insurance companies are allowed to increase the senior’s premiums based on their age. Fortunately, many methods can help them lower the insurance costs”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how seniors can keep their car insurance rates at an affordable level.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-senior-drivers-can-protect-their-car-insurance-rates-from-rising/

Sooner or later, senior drivers will have to deal with a major increase in their car insurance costs. Even if they have perfect driving records with zero accidents and traffic tickets, their insurance rates will still increase. Some might feel that their insurers are discriminating because of their age, but insurance companies are legally allowed to charge any premium they want based on the driving record and age.

Senior drivers can save money on insurance if they follow the next tips:


  • Change the driving status. Retired senior drivers are recommended to change their driving status to pleasure or leisure. The new status will cover the senior driver’s daily routines that are not work-related. By doing so, the insurers will see the senior drivers as lower-risk and will charge less on their premiums

  • Graduate a defensive driving or a refresher course. Many states mandate that senior drivers be given discounts for taking approved driving courses. These courses take only a few hours and can be taken in an afternoon or a weekend. These courses will help drivers refresh their driving skills and knowledge.

  • Enroll in a UBI, pay-as-you-drive program. Senior drivers can save as much as 40% by joining a usage-based insurance program. A device will be installed in their vehicles in order to record the mileage and various driving habits like speed, braking tendencies, and acceleration.

  • Drop a driver from the policy. In states that don’t require all licensed drivers in a household to have car insurance, senior drivers can exclude anyone who no longer drives from their policies in order to save money on car insurance. Usually, the excluded persons are older spouses or parents.

  • Make the car safer. Another great method for saving money on insurance is to install approved safety devices. Seniors can pay less on insurance if they install devices like rearview cameras, collision warning systems, and parking assist.

  • Compare quotes. Seniors should shop around and compare different car insurance quotes. Insurance companies have different premiums for different groups of people. Using a brokerage website to compare multiple insurance quotes is the ideal method that will help seniors find better insurance deals.
