Lavalier Insurance is among the first to use two-way messaging to quote and bind insurance policies online.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Getting personal jewelry insurance just got easier! Lavalier Personal Jewelry Insurance announces the launch of two-way messaging to quickly guide consumers through the insurance process.

“Lavalier partnered with Pypestream to incorporate artificial intelligence – AI – in our consumer application process for personal jewelry insurance,” explained Joseph Dowd, president of Berkley Asset Protection, Lavalier’s parent company. “This makes applying for insurance a snap.”

Lavalier chose Pypestream, a customer-engagement software firm that uses conversational AI, to create a more user-friendly, informed experience. The solution allows consumers to purchase and bind a policy directly within the conversational interface. When consumers request an insurance quote on Lavalier.com, the Lavalier Assistant guides them through each step of the process, providing real-time explanations for insurance terms and questions.

“As far as we can determine, Lavalier is among the first to use two-way messaging to quote and bind insurance policies online,” said Marketing and Sales Vice President Melissa Becker. “We wanted the process to be easy, yet provide consumers with useful information throughout the process.”

Lavalier Personal Jewelry Insurance, a program of Berkley Asset Protection, provides worldwide, comprehensive coverage – including loss, theft, and damage – so jewelry consumers get back to enjoying life, not worrying about the “what ifs.” Policies are issued by Berkley National Insurance Company, an A.M. Best A+ rated company.

Berkley Asset Protection, a Berkley company, is a leading specialty insurance provider that offers insurance for all aspects of jewelry and fine art businesses: jewelers block, fine art, commercial property and liability, and workers’ compensation. The company also offers Lavalier Personal Jewelry Insurance and coverage for individuals’ collections.

Products and services are provided by one or more insurance company subsidiaries of W. R. Berkley Corporation. Not all products and services are available in every jurisdiction, and the precise coverage afforded by any insurer is subject to the actual terms and conditions of the policies as issued.

Dr. Jeremy Friese of Verata Health Invited to Discuss the State of Prior Authorizations with Minnesota Hospital Association and North Memorial Health Leadership

Leave a comment


Dr Jeremy Friese

“I’m proud that our proven artificial intelligence platform is helping patients across the country and providing immediate financial value for providers,” said Dr. Friese.


MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)

Faced with growing prior authorization burden across the state of Minnesota the Minnesota Hospital Association announced a webinar with Dr. Jeremy Friese, CEO of Verata Health, Matt Anderson, Interim CEO of Minnesota Hospital Association, and Nate Dell, VP of Revenue Cycle Management at North Memorial Health to understand the current challenges faced by Minnesota providers and potential solutions. Joe Schindler, VP of Finance of Minnesota Hospital Association, will moderate the webinar to be held on Wednesday, November 6 at noon CST.

Hosted by the Minnesota Hospital Association, the webinar will provide an update on Prior Authorization (PA) advocacy efforts in Minnesota as well as highlight the ways in which Minnesota hospitals and health systems are working to reduce patient delays and billing denials related to PA challenges. Best practices and transformational improvements to PA processes using artificial intelligence will also be discussed.

Manual, time-consuming prior authorizations are a major bottleneck for medical care, leading to delays in obtaining necessary tests and procedures for patients. According to the American Medical Association, 92 percent of physicians report patient care delays due to PA. For clinics and hospitals, the impact is also financial. In recent years, errors in prior authorizations have grown to account for 30% of all provider write-offs. Industry experts quote a cost of $20-50 per prior authorization and tens of thousands more per physician annually due to expensive write-offs. By leveraging powerful artificial intelligence, Verata Health’s provider and hospital customers across the country are automating both simple and complex prior authorizations, dramatically reducing staff burden, increasing patient throughput and reducing costly write-offs.

“After spending nearly two decades practicing medicine and helping lead the most profitable department at Mayo Clinic, I launched Verata Health to help patients get the care they deserve by solving the national PA problem. I’m proud that our proven artificial intelligence platform is helping patients across the country and providing immediate financial value for providers,” said Dr. Friese.

About Verata Health:

Verata Health is a Minnesota-based, physician-led company changing the way medical practices and hospitals tackle the challenges presented by obtaining prior authorization (PA). By leveraging powerful artificial intelligence, Verata Health automates both simple and complex prior authorizations thereby delivering immediate financial value and most importantly helping patients get the care they deserve.

Officials from Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital and developer PMB held a ground- breaking ceremony for the $19 million, 55,000-square-foot St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion.

PMB is… delighted to partner with Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital to make this exciting project a reality.


TUCSON, Ariz., and SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

PMB, one of the nation’s leading real estate owners and developers across the continuum of care, announced that it has broken ground on the new Class A, 55,000-square-foot St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion on Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital campus in Tucson.

The $19 million project on the campus of the 400-bed acute-care hospital is already 60 percent pre-leased by Carondelet Medical Group, which will anchor the building with a 23,000-square-foot multispecialty practice. Other tenants will be The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation and MHC (Marana Health Clinic).

Ryan Harper, COO of Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital, notes, “The new St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion will add needed medical office space on the St. Mary’s Hospital campus. The new medical offices show a commitment to adding health provider options for the community and will increase the total square footage by 50 percent compared to the existing Century Medical Plaza.”

The new, two-story medical office building will be located adjacent to the existing 37,000-square-foot Century Medical Plaza, which PMB acquired from Healthcare Realty Trust in December 2018. Century Medical Plaza is a functionally obsolete property located at 1701 W. St. Mary’s Road in Tucson on St. Mary’s Hospital campus. When St. Mary’s Medical Pavilion is completed in July 2020, PMB will demolish the Century Medical Plaza and develop 275 surface parking spaces dedicated to servicing visitors to the new building. A number of existing Century Medical Plaza tenants will relocate into the new building upon completion.

Mark D. Toothacre, President of PMB, said, “PMB is grateful for the opportunity to improve the quality of healthcare delivery through the replacement of functionally obsolete clinic space with a new medical pavilion designed for the delivery of modern medicine, and we’re delighted to partner with Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital to make this exciting project a reality.”

‘Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe’ Breaks New Ground in Children’s Books

Leave a comment


Giraffe cover photo for new children’s book, ‘Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe,’ was selected by children of Jubilee JumpStart preschool in Washington, DC.

To kiss a giraffe!! Who gets to do THAT? I know children from all around the world will lap up this book which speaks directly to THEM!


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

A new children’s book, “Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe “breaks new ground, taking children on three real wildlife journeys from the rain forests of Borneo to many countries in Africa.

Rather than wonderful illustrations and imaginary situations in most children’s books, the book features the author’s full color iPhone animal photos and her personal experiences—despite challenging disabilities.

Author Rozanne Weissman sought input of children 2-9. Result: additions of questions, explanations, emojis. Her major book-loving “book consultant,” age 3 1/2, wants to kiss a giraffe.

DISABILITY DILEMMA

The children’s book also breaks new ground in the disability area. Jubilee JumpStart bilingual infants-pre-K school in Washington, DC, asked its volunteer Weissman to write a book for children who love her wildlife travel stories, photos, and videos.

But HOW with permanent hand/wrist disabilities, vision issues, and no computer?

The award-winning marketing communications executive worked on voice activated computer software for employers and clients for 20+ years. Recently, Weissman’s doctor took her off computers.

Undeterred, the author produced the 36-page children’s book on her small iPhone 8 screen—dictated on Seri and laid out in the SimplePrints app with no typography options! And all that working with two disabilities.

So that children can identify with her as the child in the book and dream big, the book starts when Rozanne was a little child who loved watching wildlife and nature. When she grew up, it wasn’t enough to see wild animals in films and TV, the author longed to see animals where they lived—in the wild.

“Rozanne put the same passion into her children’s book as she did into the highly successful launch and rapid growth of Discovery, Inc.’s Animal Planet Channel,” observes W. Clark Bunting, former president of both Animal Planet and Discovery Channels.

The author first travels to Borneo to see her favorite animal—intelligent, red-haired orangutans. The book includes surprising photos of Siswi—the diva of Camp Leakey who didn’t like other females—either orangutans or humans. Siswi stands eye-to-eye, and nose-to-nose with the author. Weissman traveled with the world’s leading primatologist on orangutans, Dr. Birute Mary Galdikas. Compares Weissman: “It was like traveling with Jane Goodall to learn about chimpanzees.”

That’s the start of three amazing wildlife trips—others to see elephants, elusive leopards, penguins, orphaned baby elephants, and giraffes renowned for kissing.

Dancy Mills, daughter of the first owners of Giraffe Manor who brought two young endangered Rothschild giraffes to live there and founders of the Giraffe Centre—posts a five star review of Rozanne’s book on Amazon:

“To kiss a giraffe!! Who gets to do THAT? I LOVED Rozanne Weisman’s new children’s book, “Rozanne Travels to Africa to Kiss a Giraffe!” It’s absolutely charming & just perfect for the level of children’s understanding & their sense of awe. BRAVA Rozanne! You’ve really got a winner on your hands. I know children from all around the world will lap up this book which speaks directly to THEM! And I hope it makes it into multiple languages for that very purpose. I’d love to see it become a New York Times best seller, because it’s also a joyful & fascinating book, even for an adult.”

Mary Carolyn & Sharon Kleyne Explore Nutrition & Water Health On Kleyne Talk Radio

Leave a comment



GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB)

Date aired: October 28th, 2019

Guest: Mary Carolyn, certified personal trainer, nutritionist, yoga instructor, Science Cheerleader

Sharon Kleyne, founder and research director of Bio Logic Aqua Research Water Life Science, the only research center in the world that is exclusively devoted to the study of body water evaporation and evaporation of water of the earth and solar system uses her weekly talk radio program to educate people everywhere about the real global water crisis that threatens life.

Kleyne, who shares every week on her talk radio show, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Water Life Science®/Nature’s Pharma®, The Power of Water® & Your Health sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Global Dragon TV and produced by Rose Hong, that we are all walking sponges and must drink 8-to-10 glasses of water a day one full glass at a time, recently welcomed guest Mary Carolyn to the show.

Carolyn is a former professor of math, statistics and research at the University of Maryland and George Mason University and worked as a senior statistician in human space flight for the U.S. Department of Transportation. Currently, Carolyn is a nutrition expert, certified personal trainer, RYT200 Yoga professional, certified Pilates trainer and corporate instructor in group fitness.

Carolyn, whose training is in plant-based nutrition, claims that variety and hydration are most important in a healthy diet. “Eat seasonally,” she urges, “and remember that the most colorful vegetables are the healthiest.” Carolyn encourages people to grow gardens but that it is all right to use frozen vegetables, “a second-best alternative to farm-fresh veggies”. Carolyn also says that people can easily learn how to grow healthy herbs such as cilantro and parsley.

Kleyne observes that more people are taking the world water crisis seriously but that there is so much work to do. “Not enough people know how to protect the water,” Kleyne cautions. “More people need to study evaporation and finding cures for diseases by using common sense.”
