The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF), a unique nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities and enriching lives, announced a $500,000 contribution from Lloyd’s to the COVID-19 Crisis: IICF Children’s Relief Fund. This generous donation will help deliver tens of thousands of meals to vulnerable children struggling with food insecurity and help to address educational disruption, family homelessness and other risks exacerbated by the pandemic. As part of its broader global response to the pandemic crisis, this gift from Lloyd’s brings the IICF relief campaign total to $1.1 million raised to date.

“We are tremendously grateful to receive this extraordinary donation from Lloyd’s, and for what it will mean to so many in need during these unprecedented times,” said Bill Ross, Chief Executive Officer of IICF. “Lloyd’s has long been a leading supporter of IICF, serving as an IICF Key Partner Company with representation on IICF Boards of Directors in several divisions.

IICF has seen widespread and united industry support for its crisis relief campaign, including more than 550 individual contributors.

Insurance Guide – Does Car Insurance Cover Hit and Run Accidents


News Image

“Not all drivers are willing to remain in the scene of an accident and exchange insurance information. Drivers involved in hit-and-run accidents, should call the police as soon as possible and provide details about the other driver that left the scene”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents which car insurance policies cover a hit-and-run accident and what drivers should do in these cases.

On most occasions, in the event of a car accident, both drivers typically pull over and exchange insurance information as a means of resolving the situation. However, there are some situations where the other person drives away from the scene. Hit-and-run accidents are quite common. On average, there are about 682,000 reported hit-and-run crashes every year.

In the event of a hit-and-run accident, the policyholder will be reimbursed only if he carries one of the following coverages:

  • Collision coverage. In a normal accident where both drivers stop, the driver who caused the accident is found at-fault. The at-fault driver’s collision coverage automatically defaults to their insurance company, and their provider pays the other driver for their damages. However, no one is at-fault in a hit-and-run crash. In this case, the policyholder will have to file a claim and pay a deductible to be reimbursed.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured motorist coverage. This type of policy is considered to be a no-fault coverage. It protects the policyholder if it gets involved in an accident and the other driver is uninsured or doesn’t have enough coverage to reimburse the policyholder for the damage it caused. In a hit-and-run scenario. uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury and property damage coverage will reimburse the policyholder for medical expenses and damages done to the vehicle. Drivers who file an uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage claim, are not required to pay a deductible and their premiums will remain the same, or only increase slightly.
  • Personal injury protection coverage. Drivers living in no-fault states are legally required to purchase PIP insurance. PIP insurance covers the damages done to the vehicle and the medical expenses in the event of an accident, regardless of who caused the crash. In case of a hit-and-run incident, PIP coverage will automatically cover the losses of a policyholder, even if the policyholder doesn’t have the insurance information of the driver who left the scene.

Drivers involved in hit-and-run accidents should follow the next steps:

  • Call the police. After the incident, the drivers should assess any injuries done to them and their passengers and call 911 if anyone needs medical attention. Even if it’s a minor crash, the drivers should report the incident to the police.
  • Recall details about the driver that left the scene. The police will want to know any details about the other driver. They will ask about the color of the car, the license plate, the make and model of the vehicle, what time the accident took place, where it happened, and even which direction the other driver was heading.
  • Record the damages. Before leaving the scene, the policyholders should take photos or videos of the damages done to their vehicles. Also, they should get the names and contact information of any witness. This will help the policyholder in the claims process.
  • Contact the insurance provider. Contact the insurance company and start the claims process. The policyholders will receive claims forms to fill out, where they can add photos and other information gathered from the scene.

“Jeff and Mike bring unprecedented expertise to our mining team.

Quick Base Names 2nd Fortune 500 CIO to Board of Directors, Expanding Bench of Enterprise Leaders Advocating for Citizen Development


News Image

Paul shares our passion for helping businesses get the most out of their technology and people, safely empowering teams across an organization to fill in the gaps and build the solutions they need that connect their data and systems.

Quick Base, the leading low-code platform for operational agility, announced that Paul von Autenried, executive vice president and chief information officer at Bristol Myers Squibb, has joined its board of directors. Paul is the second Fortune 500 CIO to join Quick Base’s board since the beginning of the year.

Paul has long been vocal about the ongoing evolution of the role of IT in organizations today. No longer distinguished solely by the depth of their technology expertise, he considers IT professionals “stewards of the digital enterprise,” taking full accountability for the digital capabilities of their companies. In this way, IT can support those on the frontlines of the business by providing a shared, managed platform for process innovation and agility.

“To be successful today, businesses need to adapt and evolve incredibly fast,” Paul said. “Quick Base is a leader in enabling safe and compliant innovation at the edge of enterprise-level systems. Its strong data-centric platform, low barrier to entry for developers, best-in-class support and skilled management with a vision for the future are all reasons I’ve joined the board.”

Paul joins Javier Polit, CIO at Mondelez International, Inc, on Quick Base’s board of directors, marking a growing number of global CIOs advocating for widespread adoption of citizen development to help businesses create lasting operational agility. Paul’s perspective as one of healthcare’s leading CIOs is also extremely valuable as the world responds to the impact of COVID-19.

In the wake of disruption caused by the novel coronavirus, companies are faced with “rethinking their operating model,” according to a recent McKinsey report, “building it around how their people work best.” That means the pace of transformation is moving faster, and the challenges that existed before–disconnected legacy systems, inefficient manual workflows and scarce development resources–will be magnified.

“We’re seeing businesses come back to the future of work right now. Agility and speed are suddenly paramount, meaning data and technology must be more accessible, automated and integrated than ever before,” said Ed Jennings, Quick Base CEO. “Paul shares our passion for helping businesses get the most out of their technology and people, safely empowering teams across an organization to fill in the gaps and build the solutions they need that connect their data and systems. His experience, including enabling citizen development in a highly-regulated industry, will help shape the practice for our customers and for businesses around the world.”

“Patients are the center of everything we do at Bristol Myers Squibb,” Paul said. “IT enables us to inspire innovators across the entire organization to leverage digital technology to improve the overall patient experience and succeed in our mission to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases.”

Throughout his experiences in high-tech, consumer packaged goods, and biopharmaceuticals companies, Paul’s career has been focused on strategically leveraging information technology to drive superior performance. Before joining Bristol Myers Squibb, Paul held positions with Kraft General Foods and Hewlett-Packard. He serves on the Board of Trustees of Penn Medicine Princeton Health.

Despite Pandemic, Online Insurance Broker Doubles Sales Staff & Opens New Offices


“The choices facing new Medicare enrollees are somewhat complex, and errors can be costly.(5) In addition, the expanding roster of various Medicare Advantage plans(6) adds another layer of complexity to the market,” Rich says.

Ensurem LLC, a growing online multi-carrier insurance brokerage, has announced commencement of construction on a new corporate headquarters building in Largo, Florida and a satellite sales office in nearby New Port Richey. When completed later this year, the two facilities will house a staff of nearly 250—including 80 new agents. The agents are currently being on-boarded and trained in groups of no more than 20, so as to enable the social distancing required to maintain employee safety during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

“We’ll have just about all our new agents in place by the end of July,” says Dave Rich, the CEO of Ensurem. “While the pandemic continues, virtually the entire staff—including agents—will be working remotely. Post-social distancing, we’ll have a 125-seat Contact Center at headquarters in Largo, and 90 licensed agents in the New Port Richey office.”

The novel coronavirus crisis has had a disastrous effect on employment in many industries, notes Rich. During the last week of May, an additional 1.8 million Americans filed for unemployment insurance—bringing total U.S. unemployment claims since mid-March to a staggering 42.5 million.(1) The insurance industry, however, has still found ways to flourish; in April, major carriers, among them Chubb(2) and Aon(3), announced that they would not reduce their workforces during the pandemic.

Continuing competition for qualified insurance brokers, says Rich, coupled with rapidly growing consumer interest in customer-friendly online insurance shopping led his company to press on with its expansion plans during the coronavirus crisis. Another factor Rich notes in the decision was market growth. Ensurem specializes in providing seniors with Medicare-related products, and the rate at which the baby boomer generation is aging means that 10,000 people in the U.S. turn 65 every day.(4) Rich claims that helping these new retirees make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage is Ensurem’s primary mission.

“The choices facing new Medicare enrollees are somewhat complex, and errors can be costly.(5) In addition, the expanding roster of various Medicare Advantage plans(6) adds another layer of complexity to the market,” Rich says. “Our goal is to simplify and clarify the selection process as much as possible—which begins with a stable of trained, knowledgeable agents who can explain the available choices.”

About Ensurem:

Ensurem, headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, is a leading technology and product distribution company serving carriers and consumers within the massive U.S. senior market. The company provides end-to-end solutions for carriers, including product development, digital marketing, and consumer-centric front ends and back end.

Glen looks forward to speaking about the underlying financial exposure that results from leaving funds in the hands of 3rd party processors. Flexible Funding greatly minimizes the chance that a payor’s funds could be misused or temporarily inaccessible. Also on Glen’s agenda for discussion is i-payout’s uniquely customizable platform that provides on-demand options for payment types, 1099 information reporting and unique customizations tailored to individual client needs.

Top Surprising Reasons To Have Really Expensive Car Insurance Premiums


News Image

“Getting online quotes and comparing prices is the only way to ensure that you still pay a fair amount of money on car insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains 3 surprising reasons why some people pay really expensive car insurance premiums.

There are huge discrepancies between car insurance costs, based on the risk group one person may be placed. While it makes sense to have the costs influenced by driving experience, age, driving history, and car model, some factors may be quite surprising.

For more info about this topic, check https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-does-my-car-insurance-cost-a-fortune/


  • Bad credit score. At first glance, a person’s creditworthiness should not affect how much he or she pays for car insurance. Under the FICO credit system, a person has a poor score if the score is below 580. A person with a bad repayment history is considered high-risk for insurance companies. That person is more likely to miss payments or drop coverage mid-term. Creating car insurance lapses will negatively impact the insurability score. If possible, improve the credit score using one-time payments, keeping a low credit utilization rate and balance transfer credit cards. Always talk with an expert about this delicate matter.
  • Small or inexistent loyalty bonuses. Loyalty should be a top focus for many companies. Many companies offer really tempting incentives to their safe drivers, in order to keep them loyal. These come usually under the form of a generous discount. However, there are companies that offer really small discounts or they do not offer at all. In this case, staying with the same carrier will damage the policyholder’s budget in the long term.
  • Price optimization. This is another prime example when loyalty hurts the policyholder’s finances. Some companies practice this so-called “price optimization”. They gradually increase a policyholder’s premium upon renewal because that person is less likely to check the insurance market and switch carriers.
