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.

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).

solo 401(k) for self-employed and small business owners

IRA Financial, leading provider of Self-Directed Retirement plans, surpasses 6,000 Solo 401(k) Plan Clients

I have written two books on the self-directed solo 401(k) plan and believe it is the most robust retirement plan for the self-employed or small business owner with no full-time employees

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company (“IRA Financial”), a leading financial technology Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) plan provider & custodian, announces that is has surpassed 6,000 self-directed Solo 401(k) plans, believed to be the most in the country.

“I have written two books on the self-directed solo 401(k) plan and believe it is the most robust retirement plan for the self-employed or small business owner with no full-time employees,” says Adam Bergman, President of IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company.

The Solo 401(k) structure, also known as the one-participant plan, allows business owners to invest in traditional as well as alternative asset investments, such as real estate, tax liens and cryptocurrency. The plan also allows participants to make higher contributions (up to $62,000 in pre-tax, after-tax, or Roth) and borrow up to $50,000 tax and penalty free.

“IRA Financial’s Solo 401(k) plan is 100% open architecture and self-directed,” explains Mr. Bergman. “IRA Financial handles all plan IRS administration for one low annual fee.”

IRA Financial, one of the country’s fastest growing providers of Self-Directed retirement plans, has helped over 16,000 clients invest over $4.5 billion in retirement funds in alternative assets through its self-directed IRA and self-directed solo 401(k) plans. IRA Financial has also developed the first mobile app in the self-directed marketplace that allows clients to be onboarded and invest in alternative asset investments 100% digitally.

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company offers the Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) plan platform, which allows investors to invest in IRS approved alternative asset investments digitally and with no account valuation or minimum balance fees. The primary advantage of using a self-directed solo 401(k) plan to make private IRS approved alternative asset investments, is that one can diversify their retirement assets and invest in what one knows and trusts. In addition, with a self-directed solo 401(k) plan generally all income and gains associated with the retirement account investment grow tax-deferred or tax-free in the case of a Roth solo 401(k).

“We continue to see huge demand for the self-directed solo 401(k) plan because of the multitude of exciting retirement and investment options it offers,” stated Mr. Bergman.

IRA Financial Group is the market’s fastest growing provider of self-directed retirement plans. IRA Financial Group has helped over 16,000 thousand clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate, cryptocurrency, and private business investments.

The IRA Financial Trust Company, a self-directed IRA custodian, was founded by Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group. Mr. Bergman is a leading expert on the taxation of retirement funds and has authored multiples articles on how to use a self-directed IRA to buy cryptocurrencies.

Adam Bergman, IRA Financial Group partner, has written seven books on the topic of self-directed retirement plans, including, “How to use Retirement Funds to Purchase Cryptocurrencies,” “Turning Retirement Funds into Start-Up Dreams,” “Solo 401(k) Plan in a Nutshell,” and “In God We Trust in Roth We Prosper.”

What are the Main Benefits of Crash Avoidance Technology


News Image

“Investing in crash-avoidance technology is money well-spent. Nothing is more important than your life,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents the benefits of crash-avoidance technology and how it can help drivers lower car insurance premiums.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-crash-avoidance-technology-works-and-its-benefits/.

A high number of cars translates into a high likelihood of being involved in an accident. To decrease the odds, more and more cars are equipped with performant sensors and cameras. Crash-avoidance technology informs the driver when a car, obstacle or pedestrian gets too close. This technology will reduce the number of accidents and will save lives.

The most popular crash-avoidance systems include:

  • Frontal collision prevention. These systems are complex, comprising several sensors, radars and cameras (including night-vision cameras) and will detect nearby cars and obstacles. Some systems will automatically brake in order to prevent a collision.
  • Lane departure warning is also an extremely useful system. If the driver passes the lane lines, he will receive audio warnings. Just like in the case of frontal collision prevention, the system may take over control and guide the car to the correct lane.
  • Blind spot detectors are probably some of the most popular systems. Sensors will detect cars placed in the blind spots and will emit various luminous signals (usually on dashboard, rear camera or mirror).
  • Adaptive cruise control will measure the distance between the driver’s car and the car in front and calculate its speed. In order to maintain a safe driving distance, the system will adjust the speed of the car.

Find Out Why Drivers Should Compare Car Insurance Quotes Before Switching Companies


News Image

“Before switching carriers, drivers should consider the advantages and disadvantages of this action”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that explains why is important to obtain [car insurance quotes before changing the insurance providers.

For more info, please visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/why-getting-quotes-is-the-smart-thing-to-do-before-switching-carriers/.

Policyholders can be tempted at any time by the insurance offers made by other insurance providers. While this may look advantageous, the effect of changing the car insurance provider can sometimes backfire and cost the policyholder more. This is why is important to get quotes before switching carriers.

Before switching carriers, drivers should consider the following steps:


  • Analyze the reasons for switching carriers. Many drivers switch their insurance providers for reasons like unfair premiums, or rude and unsatisfactory customer support. Before switching carriers, policyholders should contact their insurers and see if they can resolve the situation.
  • Policyholders should buy a new policy before dropping the old one. Insurance lapses are costly for drivers that live in states with laws that penalize registered cars without continuous coverage.
  • Drivers should consider the disadvantages. Some insurance providers will charge the policyholders an early cancelation fee. If they stayed with the same insurer for some years, and they decide to cancel their policy, drivers will lose their loyalty discount.
  • Policyholders should make sure they canceled their old policy. They should do that in writing. Their old insurance company may ask for the new policy number so that the authorities will know they are continuously covered.
  • Drivers should confirm the cancelation and ask for a refund. It is important to confirm the policy cancelation so that the old insurance company won’t automatically renew their policy and cancel them for nonpayment. The policyholder should know they can get a refund for their unused premium if they cancel early.
  • Get quotes before switching the carrier. Car insurance quotes will help drivers compare prices and see if it’s worth it to switch insurance providers.

Geospatial Insurance Consortium Teams Up with Arturo to Bring Member Insurers AI-Powered Analytics to Better Manage Risk


News Image

“Access to quality data is integral to how insurers quantify risk,” said John-Isaac Clark, CEO of Arturo. “Our technology’s findings, based on AI and machine learning, derived from the GIC’s high resolution imagery, provides insurers with a deep understanding of properties in near real time.”

The Geospatial Insurance Consortium (GIC), an insurance industry consortium spearheaded by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) and powered by Vexcel Imaging’s data program, together with Arturo, the AI-powered analytics platform for residential and commercial property characteristic data and predictive analysis, today announced their partnership. Together, the companies are bringing GIC member insurers access to advanced imagery, along with differentiated property data and analysis at an unprecedented speed. This helps insurers to make more informed decisions when underwriting, and improves situational awareness to expedite claims and improve fraud detection following major catastrophes.

Arturo grew out of more than three years of research by American Family Insurance on the application of AI and deep learning to satellite, aerial, drone, and ground-level imagery to accurately assess physical property characteristics for residential and commercial properties from the highest resolution and most current imagery. Arturo’s dynamic AI-powered analytics generate detailed property information, often in under five seconds. By deriving this data from the GIC’s high resolution imagery, insurers gain a deeper understanding of properties in real-time. This speeds up and simplifies how they do business and generates insights in seconds that would take hours if performed manually.

“Access to quality data is integral to how insurers quantify risk,” said John-Isaac Clark, CEO of Arturo. “Our technology’s sophisticated findings, based on AI and machine learning, derived from the GIC’s high resolution imagery, provides insurers with a deeper understanding of properties in near real-time.”

With nationwide coverage of the United States, the GIC’s aerial imaging capabilities boost the existing Arturo imagery database. In the event of a natural catastrophe, the GIC deploys a fleet of aircraft after it’s safe to fly and within 24 hours of the aircraft touching down imagery is uploaded—a much quicker turnaround compared to other aerial imaging providers currently in the market.

“The GIC’s mission is to provide the most comprehensive, precise, and up-to-date geospatial information to insurers. By giving our members access to the most advanced analytics on the market today, in combination with our imagery, we are doing just that,” said Rob Agee, Vice President of Business Development, Geospatial Insurance Consortium. “Arturo has demonstrated its ability to provide robust, accurate information for insurers quickly and effectively. We are confident that the Arturo platform will be a true value-add for our members, and look forward to a long-term, collaborative relationship.”

The companies will exhibit at InsureTech Connect on Sept. 23 – 25 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Visit the GIC at booth 533 and Arturo at booth 500 for a live demo and to learn more.

Top Tips For Comparing Car Insurance Quotes Online


News Image

Carinsuranceplan.org has released a new blog post that explains how drivers should compare car insurance quotes online in order to get better results.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://carinsuranceplan.org/top-tips-that-can-help-when-you-compare-car-insurance-quotes-online/

Car insurance quotes provide valuable information about the current status of the insurance market. They help drivers identify the best offers, no matter if the driver gets his first contract, renews it or switches the carrier. Comparing prices is the wise thing to do before purchasing coverage

The first thing to do before actually comparing prices is to determine the limits. A client must know what budget is available. Do some income calculus and determine how much money can be directed towards car insurance.

After that, select the suitable polices and their limits. For example, new cars should have comprehensive and collision coverage active. Check extra riders, like customized equipment coverage, roadside assistance, windshield repair and so on. Carefully note which extra riders should be bought and use them on every online questionnaire.

Identify the best insurance companies in the area. For that, drivers should use BBB standings, the local Department of Insurance website and consumer report websites. Check which companies have the best ratings and lowest complaint ratios.

Get quotes online. For that, the driver can use brokerage websites or every insurer’s website. No matter what website is used, there are few things to remember:

  • Use the same data on all websites
  • Provide correct information
  • Get quotes for exactly the same products, including the same extra riders
  • Use the same deductible levels


Do not be driven only by price. Although it is easy to sort quotes by price only, this might not be the most advantageous thing to do. Also check for available discounts, newcomer offers, loyalty programs, clients testimonials. It may take some time, but in the end, the client will obtain a really beneficial coverage contract.

Sureify Hires Former Guidewire Lead as Vice President of Product


Sureify, the leading digital platform for life and annuity insurance, continues to fortify its executive management with its latest new hire: Luis Diaz, Vice President of Product. As the former principal product manager at Guidewire, Diaz played a pivotal role in Guidewire’s success growing to hundreds of P&C clients worldwide. Can he do the same for Sureify in life and annuity? Sureify’s C-suite is confident he can.

“I like to take on complex problems, simplify, build products, then bring them to market,” says Diaz, a 20-year veteran in fintech enterprise software and product management. “We want to take the lessons learned in property and casualty, and apply them to next-generation systems for life insurance engagement apps.”

Diaz’s success at Guidewire—coupled with his experience as CEO of the consultancy firm BeyondRoadmap—has shaped his expertise in developing and scaling exceptional software products. He’s worked on platforms that manage sales, file claims, and handle billing—from initial vision to delivery.

As Sureify’s first Vice President of Product, Diaz will lead three major goals:

  • Making the product more scalable in order to increase Sureify’s customer base
  • Enabling faster implementation
  • Continuing to provide a unique white-label experience to life insurers without disruptions

“We’ll introduce more processes in order to scale and introduce features faster over time,” he says.

From a big picture perspective, Diaz aims to help the life and annuity industry transform with Sureify at the forefront. He’ll work on improving products to scale for next-gen systems. Additionally, he’ll work on strengthening customer engagement and boosting new customer self-service features like billing, claims, and account information changes.

Diaz came highly recommended by his former Guidewire coworker, Dan Gordon, now Product Strategist and Executive Advisor at Sureify. Together, they built Guidewire to more than 250 customers and plan to take Sureify on a similar evolutionary course. Gordon leads product strategy, and Diaz will lead the product team.

“Luis will definitely make a big impact when it comes to our product, partnerships and vendor relationships,” Sureify CEO Dustin Yoder says. “We know his expertise will help Sureify ultimately service hundreds of life and annuity insurers. He’ll definitely be an important part of modernizing life insurance.”

About Sureify

In a world where customer experience is everything, Sureify helps life insurers meet their customers on their own terms. The fast-growing insurtech developed the Lifetime technology platform, which delivers user-friendly native mobile and web experiences.
