Severe Weather Forces Medicare Enrollment Extension for Many Seniors

Leave a comment


Ensurem is a leading technology and product distribution company serving carriers and consumers within the massive U.S. senior market.

Dave Rich, CEO of Ensurem, discusses the Special Enrollment Period (SEP) recently announced for seniors affected by severe weather.

“We can’t assume that seniors will hear about the extension nor understand it. Something as important to their health and wellbeing as Medicare enrollment needs to be communicated–and fast.”


CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)

A Special Enrollment Period (SEP) has been declared by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and is available to seniors who reside in areas affected by recent severe weather. This extension pushes the deadline from December 7 to either December 31 or January 31, depending on the county in which the senior resides. “Outbreaks of severe weather this fall have added to technical issues with the normal Medicare annual enrollment,” says Dave Rich, CEO of Ensurem LLC. “We need to reach out to seniors living in affected areas identified by FEMA and ensure that they understand the Special Enrollment Period [1].”

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have outlined that the SEP applies to individuals who:

  • Rely on help making healthcare decisions from someone who lives in the affected area

  • Reside, or resided at the start of the incident period, in an area for which FEMA has declared an Emergency or a Major Disaster and has designated affected counties as eligible to apply for Individual or Public level assistance; and

  • Had another valid election period at any time during the incident period; and

  • Did not make an election during that other valid election period.

Rich, whose company is an online, multi-carrier insurance brokerage, has entered the retail Medicare solutions market with a large and swift capacity to assist seniors trying to navigate their Medicare coverage options. With over 300,000 seniors per month searching for coverage solutions, Ensurem utilizes their innovative technology to facilitate the exchange of information between this large populace and the health insurance industry–all with a platform for education and awareness.

Ensurem’s call centers are standing by to handle the calls from seniors confused as to whether the extended deadline affects them. Their call centers log over 2,000 calls per day and they have access to the FEMA-designated counties nationwide that are affected and can also answer general questions pertaining to coverage options. The call center is open at 800-729-5109.

The areas affected that have been given extensions are:

1. South Dakota – SEP End Date – January 31, 2020

2. Texas – SEP End Date – January 31, 2020

3. North Carolina – SEP End Date – January 31, 2020

4. South Carolina – SEP End Date – December 31, 2019

5. Georgia – SEP End Date – December 31, 2019

6. Florida – SEP End Date December 31, 2019

7. Florida Seminole Tribe – SEP End Date – December 31, 2019

8. Puerto Rico –SEP End Date – December 31, 2019 [2]

To help seniors sort through these options and obtain the coverage they need, Ensurem, which has relationships with most of the major health insurance issuers in the U.S., also maintains a presence in kiosks within several retail store chains. To date, with the help of companies specializing in health kiosk placements, Ensurem has deployed its first-in-industry software solutions to 4,500 of these kiosks in pharmacies and retail locations throughout the country to simplify the Medicare buying process.

“We can’t assume that seniors will hear about the extension nor understand it. Something as important to their health and wellbeing as Medicare enrollment needs to be communicated–and fast,” stresses Rich.

Ensurem’s call centers are standing by to handle calls from seniors in FEMA-designated counties nationwide and answer general questions pertaining to coverage options: 800-729-5109.

Legal / Law: Criminal Law

Two Colorado Courts Rule Use of STRmix Admissible

Leave a comment



WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

STRmix™ – sophisticated forensic software used to resolve mixed DNA profiles previously thought to be too complex to interpret – has been ruled admissible in two recent Colorado court cases.

In People v. William Tyrel Korn (Case No. 18CR84), the Colorado District Court for Garfield County ruled that STRmix™ has been “… repeatedly tested and subjected to peer review and publication,” “… generally accepted in the scientific and forensic community,” and “… internally validated for use in over 40 labs in the United States, including the FBI and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.”

The court ultimately denied defendant’s motion for a Shreck Hearing, noting that probabilistic genotyping evidence using STRmix™ software “satisfies the requirements for relevance and reliability” under People v. Shreck (No. 02CA1413). In that 2001 case, the Colorado Court of Appeals determined that before expert testimony may be admitted, a trial court must be satisfied that the scientific or specialized principles underlying the testimony are reasonably reliable; the expert is qualified to opine on such matters; and the expert testimony will be helpful to the jury.

In the second case, People v. Edward Aragon (No. 2015CR147), the Colorado District Court for Otero County held a pre-trial Shreck Hearing, and concluded “… the scientific principles underpinning STRmix™ are reliable.”

Disagreeing with the defendant’s claim that the prejudicial effect of the evidence generated by the use of STRmix™ would substantially outweigh its probative value, the court concluded that DNA profiles developed through the use of STRmix™ “… will be useful to the jury on the issue of identity, and that the probative value of this evidence is not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.”

The two Colorado decisions bring the number of successful U.S. admissibility hearings regarding STRmix™ to 30. Since its introduction in 2012, STRmix™ has been used to interpret DNA evidence in more than 120,000 cases worldwide, including numerous U.S. cases.

Forty-nine U.S. forensic labs now routinely use STRmix™ to resolve DNA profiles, including the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and multiple state and local agencies. STRmix™ is also in various stages of installation, validation, and training in more than 60 other U.S. labs.

“Forensic labs are turning to STRmix™ because it has greatly improved their ability to produce usable DNA evidence in a wide range of criminal cases,” says John Buckleton DSc, FRSNZ, Forensic Scientist at the New Zealand Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) who developed STRmix™ in conjunction with Jo-Anne Bright, also with ESR, and Duncan Taylor from Forensic Science South Australia (FSSA).

According to Dr. Buckleton, agencies using STRmix™ are reporting an increase of interpretable DNA in gun cases alone from about 40% to more than 70%. STRmix™ is also proving to be highly effective in sexual assault cases.

A new version of STRmix™, STRmix™ v2.7, was introduced in September. STRmix™ v2.7 includes several new features in direct response to recommendations for improvements made by forensic labs to better address the on-the-job needs they regularly encounter. DBLR™, an application used with STRmix™, was also introduced earlier this year. DBLR™ allows users to undertake superfast database searches, visualize the value of their DNA mixture evidence, and carry out mixture to mixture matches.

In addition, an updated STRmix™ Defense Access Policy gives defense legal teams even easier access to STRmix™ software. The updated Access Policy includes definitions of the extended items that can be provided under the policy, updated non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and an abbreviated NDA for use in some specific circumstances.
