FormFire LLC launches an improved ACA Quote Engine

Leave a comment


“Relaunching our ACA Quote Engine has given us a number of new opportunities,” said Andrew Laytin, Chief Technology Officer at FormFire. “Most importantly, we improved the accuracy of the rates coming out of our system, which our Broker customers have been requesting.”


CLEVELAND (PRWEB)

FormFire, LLC announces the launch of their improved ACA Quote Engine which is more accurate, timely and widely available. Through a partnership with the industry-leading Carrier data provider, Vericred, FormFire is able to provide information from a single, reliable source.

The FormFire ACA Quote Engine allows Brokers to gather plan and pricing information for small group, fully-insured plans. FormFire’s standard proposal is included with the engine, which provides a breakdown of plan and pricing data, as well as calculations for age-banded and composite rates.

Vericred gives FormFire access to health insurance and employee benefit data through a universal API. Through this partnership, FormFire can quickly and efficiently expand the states in which Carriers plans and pricing are available, all while reducing the possibility for any error during data input.

“Relaunching our ACA Quote Engine has given us a number of new opportunities,” said Andrew Laytin, Chief Technology Officer at FormFire. “Most importantly, we improved the accuracy of the rates coming out of our system, which our Broker customers have been requesting.”

The FormFire ACA Quote engine currently provides plan and pricing information in the majority of US States. FormFire is working toward full US coverage and is regularly adding new states to the engine. Automating the upload of plan details and rates will increase the speed to market and allow Brokers to quote more quickly as new rates become available.

FormFire is constantly working to make Brokers’ jobs more efficient so they can spend more time growing their client relationships. With these new updates to the ACA Quote Engine, they have made it easier for Brokers to generate accurate quotes for multiple Carriers all at once.

These new updates will be available on September 18.

The multiday professional conference is held annually and will return this year to the historic New York Athletic Club in Manhattan, October 16-18.

Dr. O’Brien was the Senior Advisor to Secretary Alex Azar for Drug Pricing Reform, where he led policy development on multiple administration priorities, including drafting and executing President Trump’s drug pricing blueprint. He also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Policy, and a key advisor to the Secretary for Health Policy Research, Development, and Analysis related to Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance.

For the past 9 years, the AVBCC Summit has brought together nationally recognized experts, faculty speakers, panelists, key opinion leaders, C-suite executives, and managers whose goals are to improve patient care and maximize patient access and outcomes through care coordination.

The AVBCC Summit will also feature a keynote presentation by Scott Gottlieb, MD, Former FDA Commissioner. With the addition of Dr. O’Brien to the program, Zweigenhaft stated, “we have locked down 2 of the key architects of the current landscape in cancer care.”

Price Image becomes the new metric for retailers to measure pricing effectiveness

Leave a comment


“Engage3 flips the price optimization paradigm on its head — optimizing price image, not prices, to achieve desired outcomes,” – Mark Thomason, Research Director for Digital Business Models and Monetization at IDC


DAVIS, Calif. (PRWEB)

Engage3, which helps retailers and manufacturers manage their pricing strategy through competitive data, data science, and Artificial Intelligence-powered software solutions, today announced Price Image as the new metric for retailers and manufacturers to measure and manage the effectiveness of their pricing.

Price Image is a measurement of the value promise a retailer makes to its customers. It is how customers perceive a retailer’s pricing, and Price Image Management is how a retailer chooses to position themselves with customers, as related to the price consumers expect to pay.

Many retailers don’t know what their Price Image in the market is. With deep discounters aggressively expanding market share, retailers battling to retain their customers with promotions, and increasing price transparency, the retail marketplace is in the midst of a price war. Trying to follow competitors’ pricing is both ineffective and inefficient. Customers don’t compare prices on all of a store’s items, and different items have different importance to different people at different times. Defining what Price Image a retailer wants to establish in the market, understanding how to achieve that Price Image with customers, and then aligning it with a retailer’s financial objectives, are critical.

IDC recently positioned Engage3 as a leader in its MarketScape Vendor Analysis Report for changing the game and leading the next frontier in strategic pricing solutions.

“Engage3 flips the price optimization paradigm on its head — optimizing price image, not prices, to achieve desired outcomes,” said Mark Thomason, Research Director for Digital Business Models and Monetization at IDC. “With deep pricing–focused artificial intelligence and machine learning assets, Engage3 is focused on using science to maximize business outcomes constrained by shopper perception of pricing through predictive modeling of Price Image,” he added.

“It’s been a challenge for retailers to craft a holistic strategy for pricing. Using Price Image as the new metric instead of relying on Price Index will help retailers lead with disruptive pricing in their markets,” said Ken Ouimet, Engage3 Founder and CEO. “Calculating your Price Image is the first step in making the right price investments to make your customers and your investors happy,” he added.

A copy of the IDC white paper on Price Image Management is available by request at https://www.engage3.com/idc-market-spotlight/.

About Engage3

Engage3 was founded by the creators of KhiMetrics (acquired by SAP), who are credited with inventing the retail price optimization space. Engage3’s leadership team is composed of former KhiMetrics, SAP, Revionics, dunnhumby, KSS Retail, and IBM/DemandTec executives.

Engage3’s Price Image Management Suite™ helps retailers understand and manage their Price Image and align it with their sales and profitability objectives using predictive modeling. The suite includes Competitive Intelligence Management (CIM) – an AI-assisted, attribute-based, and data science-driven solution that provides accurate, granular competitive data (30 billion product pricing records collected annually in the U.S. and Canada) and like-item-linking visibility. CIM helps retailers reverse-engineer their competitors’ pricing and assortment strategies across channels, markets, and items. Also included in the suite is Price Image Management (PIM) – a next generation pricing solution that defines the impact of strategic pricing alternatives and unlocks pricing recommendations based on a retailer’s objectives for Price Image, sales, and profitability.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program Announcement

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Unitek College is one of California’s reputable healthcare and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) pre-licensure program will provide graduates with a coveted degree in the healthcare industry.


BAKERSFIELD, Calif, (PRWEB)

In 2017, Unitek College added a seventh campus with the acquisition of Southern California Medical College in Bakersfield, California. The campus has grown immensely over the past two years. In September, Unitek received nursing-board approval to expand their BSN program to the Bakersfield community. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) pre-licensure program will provide graduates with a coveted degree in the healthcare industry.

Doors open for nurses equipped with a BSN degree. Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) often pursue this degree to further their education and take the next step in their careers. While a bachelor’s degree isn’t a requirement for RNs, BSN-trained nurses generally receive higher salaries, management positions, and leadership roles. A BSN degree can make a significant difference in the life and career of a healthcare professional.

“Unitek chose Bakersfield because the city is located in San Joaquin Valley (SJV), and studies have shown that SJV is one of the fastest growing, poorest, and least healthy regions of California,” said Dr. Abdel Yosef, Chief Academic Officer at Unitek Learning. “Furthermore, 31.3% of RNs in San Joaquin Valley are above the age of 55, which is a contributing factor to workforce shortage projections published by the Healthforce Center at UC San Francisco.”

Now aspiring nurses in Bakersfield will have the opportunity to earn their BSN degree at Unitek. Not only will they gain invaluable skills, but they’ll benefit from the convenience of completing some of their required courses online. Other benefits include experienced instructors, NCLEX-RN test preparation services, and employment support. Through the BSN program, students will train to work in a variety of healthcare settings, such as: complex and critical care, acute care, long-term care, community health nursing, and home health.

“We are thrilled to offer the BSN program at our Bakersfield Campus,” said Janis Paulson, Chief Executive Officer at Unitek College. “This is a big step forward for Unitek as we continue to educate the next generation of nurses. In extending our reach, we hope to better the communities around us through the advancement of education and healthcare.”

Unitek College is one of California’s reputable healthcare and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today. Equipped with a multitude of sought-after skills, Unitek graduates are prepared to excel in many of the fastest-growing careers in healthcare and nursing.
