What Hospitals and Health Systems Need to Know


“These new rules will open up new avenues for providers to participate in value-based payment.,” said Caravan Health founder Lynn Barr.

Caravan Health founder Lynn Barr and Neal Shah, a shareholder in Polsinelli’s health care law practice, will present an interactive webinar on Tuesday, November 12 at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET about the recently proposed rules on the Physician Self-Referral (Stark) and Anti-Kickback Statutes (AKS). Any health providers interested in the new exceptions and safe harbors in value-based health care can register here for the webinar.

Health care providers have long identified the Stark and AKS law, intended to prevent abuse in Medicare in the form of self-referrals, bribes, or other unlawful payment, as barriers to the care coordination required of high-functioning value-based health care arrangements. Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a pair of rules that would provide certain exceptions to the Stark and AKS laws to encourage taking financial risk in value-based care.

“These proposals represent the most significant potential revision to these laws in decades,” said Mr. Shah. “We will review some of the biggest practical impacts of the proposals and help providers identify opportunities to give the agencies feedback.”

These critical updates will modernize these laws for today’s health care reimbursement landscape. With the move away from a fee-for-service, volume-driven payment environment toward payments based on quality, these rules ease the way for participation in value-based payment.

“These new rules will open up new avenues for providers to participate in value-based payment.,” said Ms. Barr. “Join us as we review the regulatory details, the timeline for public comment, and explain what it all means for providers in accountable care.”

Hit And Run Accidents And Their Impact On Driver’s Insurance Rates


News Image

“A hit and run accident can make you pay more expensive premiums, no matter who caused the accident”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains what is a hit-and-run accident and how car insurance rates will be influenced after that.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-hit-and-run-accidents-influence-car-insurance/

Hit and run accidents refer to those car accidents where one driver flees the scene without leaving their details or checking if all the other persons involved are safe. When someone hits a parked car with their vehicle, and then flees the scene without leaving their details, they also commit a hit and run accident. Hit and run accidents are severely punished by law.

Hit and run accidents also affect car insurance rates. There are 2 scenarios:


  • The policyholder is the victim. It is recommended to gather as much evidence and eye-witness accounts as possible. After that, call the police and file a report. This report will be handed to the insurance company in order to begin the claim process. The company will cover the damage but will increase the premiums, until the guilty driver is caught. If the guilty driver is not caught, the policyholder will be charged extra.
  • The policyholder commits a hit-and-run. The insurer will pay for the victim’s damage, but not for the damage to the policyholder’s car. After that, the premiums will be increased by around 50%. The guilty driver will have to carry an SR-22 for 3 years, time in which the premiums will be considerably high.

hundred, Personalized Vitamin Brand, Raises $8MM from Insight Partners to Expand to the US Market and Change the Way You Take Vitamins


News Image

hundred, the direct-to-consumer personalized vitamin subscription company, announces a $8M investment from Insight Partners today at the Web Summit. The company offers consumers a holistic experience driven by science, research, and guidance from a dedicated nutrition expert for supported self-care. hundred designs its vitamins for increased efficacy through expertly-developed capsule technology, and subscribers create their custom mix by completing a five-minute holistic consultation that is based on the four critical pillars of wellness (nutrition, movement, sleep and stress balance). Most of hundred’s clientele are women taking prescription medication, which is why hundred’s consultation ensures that vitamin recommendations are 100% compatible with each customer’s health plan.

Using pharma logistical technology, hundred’s growing portfolio of 34 vitamins and supplements can fulfill over 75K unique combinations. “60% of health issues are connected to our lifestyle behaviors – such as poor sleep and stress,” said Edwina Clark, hundred Head of Scientific Content. “Reminding you to take your vitamins daily is not enough to help customers see results. We have to make sure you get the four pillars covered, and we’ll help you stick with your vitamin journey while making reassessments and adjustments when required.”

According to the NCCIH, the FDA is not authorized to regulate dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed. Common industry practices include overdosing to appear more potent, and adding synthetic fillers and mercury. Driven by transparency, hundred performs quality control checks throughout its supply chain and includes a published chemical analysis for each product.

When compared to other personalized vitamin brands including care/of, hundred commits to customers by pairing them with a dedicated nutrition expert to guide them through their unique vitamin journey. When compared to premium supplements like the synbiotic Seed and the multivitamin Ritual, hundred provides a more complete offer, complementing a vast array of health goals as it’s never an individual factor leading to better health (i.e: digestion issues can be vastly affected by your stress levels and probiotics only simply won’t fix them).

“We aim to develop a modern wellness company that lasts, democratizing access to nutritional education as a proxy to better health. We know that vitamins without guidance don’t work, and health improvements are slow and often hard to reach by yourself,” said Dario Galbiati Alborghetti, hundred founder and CEO. “There is no magic energy pill. First and foremost, we need to examine your diet, sleep level, stress balance and movement. Our service aims for better health without excessive costs, and is designed to evaluate the whole person over time.”

About hundred

hundred was founded by Dario Galbiati Alborghetti, an entrepreneur in the food and healthcare industry, to fill the common gaps in our diets with personalized vitamins. The company rebels against the unregulated industry by offering a fully transparent product. hundred has enhanced their formulas for better bioavailability and offers customers complimentary 1:1 consultations with a dedicated nutrition expert.
