Bronwyn Allen, an employee at High Profile, Inc. for over 30 years, purchases Dallas-based staffing firm to become sole owner, adding another woman-owned business to the Dallas market.

R. Jock Stafford founded High Profile, Inc. in the summer of 1987. After corporate moves with Procter & Gamble and Frito Lay, he started High Profile with the vision of offering the most professional staffing firm in Dallas. His vision extended beyond just professionalism, and Jock sought to create a firm centered around honesty, responsibility, and respect. For over thirty-two years his vision has endured and adapted to provide the highest quality of service to the Dallas Fort Worth job market.

Four months after founding the company, Jock hired Bronwyn Allen to join the newly formed recruiting team. In 2000 Bronwyn was promoted to company President, where she continued to thrive and lead by example. Bronwyn’s commitment, work ethic, and innate leadership abilities are unparalleled and made her the obvious choice to succeed Jock as CEO in 2015. Carrying on Jock’s vision, Bronwyn initiated a community outreach program, Good Works!, to further promote High Profile’s dedication to corporate responsibility in the Dallas community.

Under Bronwyn’s leadership, the company has received numerous awards, such as Dallas Business Journal’s Best Places to Work and DFW Texas Recruiters Network’s “Recruiting Team of the Year”. In August of 2019, Bronwyn purchased the company from Jock Stafford, and is now owner, CEO, and President of one of the largest staffing firms in Dallas. Bronwyn’s dedication to promoting the values and philosophy of High Profile continues to carry the company to new heights.

How To Compare Car Insurance Prices Online And Save Money

“Comparing cat insurance prices ensures that clients get access to the best offers on the market. Policyholders should check prices every six months”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 27, 2019

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why drivers should use car insurance quotes and compare prices.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-is-price-comparison-so-important-for-car-insurance-market/

Comparing prices online ensures a fair competition between companies. It also helps the buyer get access to fair prices. Periodically reviewing the market is recommended. In this way, the client will verify if he still pays a fair price. Drivers should get free quotes from http://compare-autoinsurance.org and compare prices.

Car insurance companies have their own algorithms of determining premiums. This is basically the main reason why prices differ so much between companies, even for the same insurance product. Insurers quantify factors in different ways. For example, a company will consider driving history more influential than car model.

Car insurance quotes will help drivers with special needs. Some categories of people are considered high-risk drivers. In many cases, they need to look for non-standard carriers in order to get insurance. Premiums are really high for them. Getting quotes for nonstandard carriers and comparing prices is really important to those drivers.

Online quotes also help drivers avoid scams. We have all heard of car insurance scams. And scammers develop all sorts of cunning baits and scenarios, from pop-up ads, up to fake lawyers and insurance agents. If the prices offered are really low, this might be a scam. It is recommended to check online quotes, from reliable and well-established companies and check the average costs.

Focus on Transparent Pricing Efforts are Centerpiece of SPBA Fall Meeting

Improving quality while lowering costs continues to be at the top of the list. There are exciting developments in this area and SPBA member TPAs, Stop-Loss and Service Partners are in the forefront. — Anne Lennan, SPBA President

CHEVY CHASE, Md. (PRWEB)
September 27, 2019

During its Fall Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona last week, the Society of Professional Benefit Administrators (SPBA) convened for three days of educational sessions focused on the regulatory matters and recent policy developments that impact self-funded health plans. Highlights included sessions that focused on cost containment ideas, such as the sessions on Specialty Drugs/Biosimilars, Direct Primary Care Trends, Health Literacy, Reference-Based Pricing and Captives.

SPBA also discussed its most important member updates, including SPBA President Anne Lennan’s appointment to the newly-formed Air Ambulance and Patient Billing Advisory Board.

Industry experts joined SPBA’s membership of third party administrators (TPAs), Stop-Loss Partners, and Service Partners to lead sessions on topics that impact TPA businesses daily, including the economic impacts of Medicare-for-all and Medicare fee-pricing, and how on-site medical clinics impact self-funded health plans. These insights are critical to helping TPAs and their partners give plan participants the best guidance for their unique needs.

“SPBA listens carefully to the membership on the types of educational sessions that are most beneficial,” said Lennan. “Improving quality while lowering costs continues to be at the top of the list. There are exciting developments in this area and SPBA member TPAs, Stop-Loss and Service Partners are in the forefront.”

One key topic addressed at the Meeting was data privacy and security issues, going beyond HIPAA to consider approaches emerging from the European Union and other legislation in Colorado and California.

SPBA’s IT Task Force presented a special track on key topics related to technology in self-funded health plans including machine learning vs. AI for TPA businesses and EDI Capabilities vs. API Technology in administrative transactions. Health literacy sessions focused on sound business practices to help plan participants consider higher quality and better priced providers, while technology literacy sessions focused on how non-technical healthcare leaders can expand their knowledge to best advise clients and navigate innovation in the healthcare industry.

SPBA is the national association of Third Party Administration (TPA) firms that manage client employee benefit plans. It is estimated that over 75% of U.S. workers and their dependents in non-federal health coverage are in plans administered by TPAs. The clients of TPA firms include every size and format of employment, including large and small employers, state/county/city plans, union, non-union, collectively bargained multiemployer plans, as well as most industries and professions.

New Heartland Alliance Data Shows Most Significant Increase in Uninsured Individuals In Almost A Decade

“The historic gains in health coverage made possible by the Affordable Care Act have slowed and are reversing. These data are deeply concerning and suggest the unrelenting opposition to the ACA and threats to public programs are taking a toll on those who need services most.” Katie Buitrago

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
September 27, 2019

And Illinois saw a decline in Medicaid coverage for over 106,000 non-seniors from 2017 to 2018, a drop of 0.8 percentage points. Almost all of the people who lost Medicaid were in the Chicago six county area. These new data show us that the years of positive trends in increasing coverage seem to have come to an extreme halt.

“The historic gains in health coverage made possible by the Affordable Care Act have slowed and are now reversing,” said Katie Buitrago, Director of Research at Heartland Alliance. “These data are deeply concerning and suggest that the unrelenting opposition to the ACA and continuous threats to public programs are taking a toll on those who need these services most.”

The repeal of the individual mandate, the gutting of the enrollment assistance programs, and the expansion of low-quality “short-term” health plans have sown confusion throughout communities and contributed to this drop in coverage. But it is not only the executive orders, bureaucratic barriers, and regulatory changes that have resulted in millions more going uninsured—the Trump Administration’s anti-immigrant policies have also contributed to coverage losses. Latino Americans experienced a 1.6 percentage point decline in coverage, with non-citizens experiencing an even higher 2.3 percentage point decline. This dramatic rise in the uninsured rate strongly suggests that immigrant communities are being discouraged from signing up for health coverage and public benefits. The recent “public charge” rule change that penalizes immigrants seeking to naturalize if they are low-income or use public benefits is a prime example of the policy proposals that lead to this sort of chilling effect.

“These attacks on families are pushing people into poverty and into the shadows,” said Dan Rabbitt, Heartland Alliance Health Policy Expert. “Families are being forced, out of fear and necessity, to decide if they should obtain health coverage, and that is not a decision anyone should be forced to make. Our leaders should be working to provide quality, affordable health care to all, reduce out of pocket health costs, and increase coverage options for immigrants, not chipping away at supports that keep our communities healthy.”

In addition to these findings, Heartland Alliance has release a fact sheet looking at income, poverty and health insurance in Illinois and Chicago. View it here
