Although expensive for some drivers, car insurance is a necessity for many. The penalties for driving without insurance can be severe and will reflect in the future policy premiums for many years after an uninsured driver gets caught.

In order to pay less on their car insurance, drivers can follow these tips:


  • Bundle multiple policies. Drivers can try to insure all vehicles from the household with the same insurance company in order to get a large discount. Moreover, drivers can try to insure the home with the same insurance company. Multi-policies and multi-car discounts can help policyholders save lots of money.
  • Check different discounts. Policyholders can check with their insurance agent if they are eligible for any discounts. Insurance companies are notorious for offering a great variety of discounts. The most popular discounts are the homeowner discount, good student discount, getting married discount, and other various discounts that can appear in certain situations.
  • Keep a clean driving record. Insurance companies will reward drivers that keep a clean driving record with discounts that ranges from 10% to 20%. In order to qualify for this discount, drivers need to maintain their driving record clean for a number of years, usually three to five years, depending on each insurance company.
  • Consider usage-based insurance programs. Some insurers offer usage-based programs. Drivers that enroll in a usage-based program, will have to allow the insurer to install a small telematic device in their vehicles. This device will monitor the policyholder’s driving habits. If the monitoring results are good, policyholders are eligible for better policies.
  • Consider raising deductibles. Policyholders that have full coverage can lower their insurance premium by agreeing to pay a larger deductible.
  • Check multiple online quotes. This is the best way for drivers to save money. Insurance companies don’t offer the same insurance rates, and the best way to find the best insurance is by comparing multiple online quotes.

Veego Gives Eyes to ISPs, Enabling Automatic Detection and Repair of Smart Home Problems


Veego Logo

Veego.io

Veego, an Israel-based startup bringing artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to perfect the customer experience in the smart home, today announced a breakthrough capability that continuously monitors the behavior of devices and services, and autonomously detects, analyzes and resolves malfunctions as they occur.

Although the smart home market is growing rapidly, it is in disarray. Unlike any other market, home users independently buy and install countless types of smart devices and consume a wide variety of services, mainly through their internet routers. Today, the typical home contains a dozen smart devices. According to IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Home Device Tracker, in only three years, that number is expected to double.

Hundreds of millions of smart-home users already expect unhindered 24/7 access to the internet for myriad services that include movie and television streaming, interactive gaming and web browsing from tablets and smartphones. Whenever any smart device—thermostat, speaker, security camera, etc.—or service ceases to function properly, users tend to hold their ISPs responsible and turn to them for support.

According to a study by Parks Associates titled 360 View: Supporting the Connected Consumer, “Unresolved technical problems with smart home devices have risen 240% in 3 Years. 79% of consumers have self-installed a smart home device, and most do not turn to integrators for assistance when there is a technical problem.”

Though blind as to what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming, ISPs are tasked with supporting millions of home users. Because smart-home malfunctions can be the result of complex factors within and even outside the home domain— in the service cloud, for example—ISPs are unable to address many types of anomalies. Often, when customers report problems to the ISP support center, technical support staff have no way of seeing them, let alone reproducing, analyzing and resolving them.

“Technical support costs the ISPs a fortune in human resources, wasted time, unnecessary truck rolls and unwarranted hardware replacements,” stated Veego CEO, Amir Kotler. “Smart-home customers become quite frustrated with the time, effort and mistakes involved in support calls. The customer experience degrades, leading to churn and damage to the ISP’s reputation.”

Veego perfects the customer experience while reducing the time and expense involved in supporting smart homes.

The router-resident Veego Agent enables ISPs to “see” what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming at any moment. The Agent automatically detects behavior aberrations and actual problems—often before the user experiences them. The Veego Cloud hosts a giant and growing Malfunction Knowledgebase that automatically analyzes and pinpoints the root cause of problems—within and beyond the smart home. It enables the Agent to resolve many problems on the spot or it supplies the ISP support center with all the information and analysis necessary to drastically shorten support calls and resolve problems promptly and accurately, eliminating wasteful truck rolls and hardware replacements.

“We are on a mission to establish order in the smart-home market for ISPs and their customers,” declared Kotler. “By applying the power of AI and other advanced technologies to this untamed market, we are able to assure a vastly improved smart-home experience for millions of people along with drastic cost reductions for the ISPs who support them.”

Anelto Health has announced its “Partnership for Better Outcomes” by releasing its new “No-Risk RPM Platform” for Remote Patient Monitoring


“We have removed all the barriers associated with organizations that are unfamiliar with buying or leasing equipment”, said David Fronk, SVP of Business Development and Sales at Anelto Health

Anelto Health, has launched its new “No-Risk RPM Platform for Remote Patient Monitoring. The platform can integrate with software systems for Chronic Care Management, CCM, Care Management, CM, or Transitional Care Management, TCM. In conjunction with TCM, CCM or Care Management, the 2-way dynamic voice hub pairs with vital sign monitors and activity trackers to improve the health of the senior and to prevent unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations. It has built in alerts and dynamic, intuitive patient reactive questionnaires and ability to integrate with a 24/7 clinical call center. Anelto’s No-Risk RPM Platform eliminates the risk associated with owning and deploying hardware-based systems.

“We have removed all the barriers associated with organizations that are unfamiliar with buying or leasing equipment”, said David Fronk, SVP of Business Development and Sales at Anelto Health. “Hospitals and companies that want to implement an RPM solution for better care and outcomes for their patients can now move forward with confidence. If they can’t bill for the equipment, by using the existing CPT 99454 for RPM, there is no monthly equipment charge from Anelto. Anelto Health is determined to make sure our equipment does what it was designed to do, and that is to improve communication with the patient, engage them in their health and get them to take their vital signs daily so the data and the analytics can help improve the patient’s life by improving their chronic diseases.”

RPM is a new efficient way of caring for seniors outside of their doctor’s office that can reduce the cost associated with caring for this subset of the population while dramatically improving clinical outcomes and their quality of life. This allows them to “age in place”, which over 80% of seniors prefer. We believe with CPT code 99454, that the economic benefits for CCM companies or hospitals make this a win-win for the patient and those providing services to the patient.

Additional benefits of Anelto Health’s Remote Patient Monitoring System include:


  • Easy to set up and use.
  • Always on with a 3-day emergency battery pack for times when power is out.
  • Comes with a friends and family app to keep up with your loved one. Know how they are doing on their chronic disease care, activity and allows for communication and encouragement.
  • Fun activities and communications to keep the senior engaged and help with depression from loneliness
  • Programmable call functionality to allow a 24/7 call center integration or their doctor or his/her care team to call into the hub relieving the stress of answering the phone of an unknown caller.


To make an appointment for a meeting at the upcoming HIMSS Health 2.0 Conference in Santa Clara, CA on 9/16 – 9/18/2019 or to know more about Anelto Health, it’s Remote Patient Monitoring Platform, request a white paper or clinical paper: Visit its website at https://www.aneltohealth.com and also view the patient interactive video on Anelto Health’s unique platform.

Dental Care Alliance’s Mike Cole Honored with NADP Leadership Award


“Mike Cole is a determined leader, who has served DCA’s affiliated practices and patients for more than 20 years,” commented James Nick, DCA Chief Revenue Officer. “His contributions to the industry and ability to foster meaningful relationships with insurance plans is second to none.”

Encouraging a spirit of partnership and collaboration between plans and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) has earned Michael Cole, Vice President of Insurance Plan Management for Dental Care Alliance, the 2019 Don Mayes Leadership Award, presented today by the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP) at their annual conference, CONVERGE 2019, in Orlando. This award commends exemplary service by volunteer group chairs and vice chairs with NADP association leadership spanning three or more years.

Volunteer Service

As Vice Chair of the NADP Operations WorkGroup, Cole serves as an important communications link between the WorkGroup and the DSO Advisory Council on multiple projects, including provider directory validation and credentialing.

Truly a leader by example, Cole actively participated in the development of the Provider Directory Validation process; and, his company, Dental Care Alliance, was one of the first DSOs to participate in the program.

In 2014, Mike came prepared to a face-to-face meeting of the Operations WorkGroup focused on streamlining credentialing. His notebooks, filled with credentialing requirements from multiple plans, helped to facilitate the discussion. As a result, the Operations WorkGroup developed a one-page credentialing form for member use, that is available today on the NADP website.

In his eight years as an NADP Member, Cole has also developed numerous CONVERGE educational sessions, offering both plan as well as DSO perspectives.

“Mike’s contributions to understanding and breaking down the barriers to the successful partnership of DSOs and dental plans has been critical to several NADP initiatives,” said NADP Executive Director Evelyn F. Ireland, CAE. “He is an asset to both the industry and association.”

“Mike Cole is a determined leader, who has served DCA’s affiliated practices and patients for more than 20 years,” commented James Nick, Dental Care Alliance’s Chief Revenue Officer. “His contributions to the industry and ability to foster meaningful relationships with insurance plans is second to none. We couldn’t be more proud of Mike and are grateful that the association has recognized his decades of service.”

Professional Biography

In April 1999, Mike Cole joined Dental Care Alliance (DCA), an NADP Associate Member, and one of the largest dental service organizations in the country. As Vice President of Insurance Plan Management, he oversees the teams responsible for insurance relations, revenue cycling and the credentialing departments. Prior to joining DCA, Cole was a network manager for both Prudential Healthcare and United Concordia. With more than 25 years in the dental healthcare industry, he was instrumental in fostering partnerships between DCA and the insurance plans.

Cole is a graduate of the University of Missouri – Columbia and is also a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
