In tandem with the BeneVision Distributed Monitoring System, this platform enables clinicians to observe, manage and document a patient’s condition in support of high-quality, patient-centric care from admission to discharge. Options such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) mode, NMT, rSO2, anesthetic gas module and OR-specific user configurations make this a preferred solution for both anesthesiologists and surgical staff.

  • BeneVision Distributed Monitoring System (DMS): Combined with the A7 System, this comprehensive suite of perioperative solutions not only showcases anesthesia delivery and ventilation, but also emphasizes complementary patient monitoring and seamless interoperability solutions which support a complete patient record throughout the care path.


Ultrasound

  • TE7 Ultrasound System Crystal Series: With best-in-class image quality, a sleek form factor and an intuitive touchscreen, the TE7 System is designed to provide superior performance for rapid, confident exams and procedures in the fast-paced, point-of-care environment. This System also features numerous needle visualization advancements, including eSpacial Navi™, a 4D magnetic needle navigation technology that delivers enhanced needle visualization and location during procedures.

Allstate Insurance Company Files $1.6 Million Healthcare Fraud Lawsuit Against Four Pharmacies, Five Professional Medical Corporations, and their Owners

Leave a comment


Without the support of lawmakers, incidents of fraud will continue to increase. We need to work together this legislative session to fix the broken no-fault system.


HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Allstate Insurance Company is seeking to recover more than $1.6 million from 19 New York area defendants. Since 2003, Allstate has filed 88 fraud lawsuits in New York State seeking more than $330 million in damages.

The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the following defendants: New Century Pharmacy, Inc., Refill Rx Pharmacy, Inc., My Rx Pharmacy, Inc., Direct Rx Pharmacy, Inc., Eduard Aronov, Katrin Matatov, Alexander Sharafyan, Boris Kandov, Rafo Yaguda f/k/a Rafail Yagudayev, Mani Ushyarov, D.O., Amr A. El-Sanduby, M.D., Jean-Pierre Georges Barakat, M.D., Tomas M. Pattugalan, Jr., M.D., Rafael Antonio Delacruz-Gomez, M.D., First Class Medical, P.C., NY Medical Arts, P.C., Richmond Medical Care, P.C., GONY Medical Services, P.C., and Life Health Care Medical, P.C.

Allstate alleges that New Century Pharmacy, Inc., Refill Rx Pharmacy, Inc., My Rx Pharmacy, Inc., and Direct Rx Pharmacy, Inc., and their owners, Eduard Aronov, Katrin Matatov, Alexander Sharafyan, Boris Kandov, and Rafo Yaguda f/k/a Rafail Yagudayev, took advantage of New York’s No-Fault laws by producing and dispensing compounded topical pain medications and other drugs in violation of New York law. Allstate also alleges that First Class Medical, P.C., NY Medical Arts, P.C., Richmond Medical Care, P.C., GONY Medical Services, P.C., and Life Health Care Medical, P.C., and their owners, Mani Ushyarov, D.O., Amr A. El-Sanduby, M.D., Jean-Pierre Georges Barakat, M.D., Tomas M. Pattugalan, Jr., M.D., and Rafael Antonio Delacruz-Gomez, M.D. violated New York law by prescribing medically unnecessary medications, and by fraudulently providing and billing for evaluations and tests that were medically unnecessary, falsely charged, and not provided in the manner represented. Allstate further alleges that the pharmacies and the medical providers conspired together during the course of this scheme to prescribe, produce, dispense, and deliver compounded topical pain medications and other drugs that were medically unnecessary, not uniquely tailored to each patient’s needs, and falsely charged.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, no-fault fraud is costing New Yorkers millions of dollars year-after-year. “In essence, honest hardworking New Yorkers are paying a “fraud tax,” said Christina Kelly, Allstate New York spokesperson. “We need lawmakers to enact meaningful insurance reform that puts the citizens of New York first.”

Allstate is joined by other insurers and many New York State leaders in its pursuit for comprehensive reform of the no-fault system. “The no-fault system is being exploited and responsible citizens are the victims,” Kelly said. “Without the support of lawmakers, incidents of fraud will continue to increase. We need to work together this legislative session to fix the broken no-fault system.”

New launch from AristaMD increases wound care and dermatology consult support by facilitating seamless eConsult image transfer

Leave a comment


News Image


SAN DIEGO (PRWEB)

AristaMD, an innovative telehealth platform that delivers primary care providers timely and documented specialist insight, announced today the launch of an app allowing its providers to easily transfer images as part of the eConsult platform. The new web-based AristaMD Photo App is an easy-to-access, streamlined, and HIPAA-compliant solution that further enhances electronic consultation efficiency and effectiveness for cases needing visual references—most commonly the dermatology consult.

AristaMD, which launched in 2013, aims to improve healthcare outcomes by connecting its thousands of participating payers and providers to specialists through eConsults. It is already proven to deliver cost-effective, more timely access to specialty care. Providers simply use their mobile phone to take photos through the app, which are automatically and securely saved exclusively to the AristaMD platform, then continue to process their referral order and eConsult as usual.

There are fewer practicing dermatologists in rural regions. Geographic barriers compound the issue of long wait times for specialist appointments. According to a recent report,“since 2009 patient wait times for a dermatology appointment have increased by 46 percent, or from an average of 22.1 days to 32.3 days in 2017.” Timely access to care for dermatological issues can have a significant impact on patient health, as conditions include life-threatening and quickly progressing conditions such as skin cancer. Researchers have found “providing specialty treatment to a potential melanoma within 14 days of diagnosis could improve a patient’s prognosis by 20 percent.”

Use of AristaMD’s eConsults have proven highly effective with 81 percent of dermatology consults replacing a face-to-face visit with a dermatologist. The Photo App will continue improving patient access to this specialty care for even more case uses.

“Currently, patients are waiting anywhere from two to four months for a specialist appointment, but the reality is that a large portion of those specialist referrals are not needed,” said Brooke LeVasseur, CEO of AristaMD. “The new AristaMD Photo App will help PCPs continue to significantly reduce unnecessary face-to-face referrals in even more cases needing visual documentation. This marks one of many product innovations my team has been working on to expand the benefits of eConsults to as many patients as possible.”

About AristaMD

eConsult Solutions That Improve Quality of Care

AristaMD is focused on improving patient outcomes through more timely access to specialty care. Its eConsult platform provides a telehealth solution that empowers primary care providers with clinical workup checklists and the ability to conduct electronic consults (also known as eConsults or virtual consults) to significantly improve the patient referral process and allow greater access to timely, high-quality care. Designed to seamlessly integrate into physician referral workflows, the platform allows payers and providers to quickly and cost-effectively launch specialist eConsults using their own specialists or those provided by AristaMD’s board-certified panel of experts. AristaMD’s platform has proven to deliver cost-effective, timely access to specialty care through eConsults, significantly reducing the need for face-to-face visits while increasing patient satisfaction. Committed to driving better health outcomes, AristaMD partners with healthcare stakeholders to ensure their success in the transition to value-based care.
