PatientPay Mobile Solution

“PatientPay’s patented integration capability is the latest example of our commitment to bring the healthcare transaction cost down by leveraging automation through the existing healthcare payment infrastructure.”

DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)
September 11, 2019

PatientPay, the leading end-to-end patient payment solution focused on the complex financial challenges facing specialty healthcare, announces the issuance of a patent to reduce the level of effort a medical group must perform to set up an integrated payment plan for both time-of-service and post visit patient statements.

At the core of “Instant Integration for Installment Payments” is US Patent No. 10,410,187, a business process that enables a quick, easy and reliable connection with any currently available medical group billing system. The process was developed and patented by PatientPay and is recognized as a significant advancement in the automation of healthcare practices in the United States. This patent is in addition to PatientPay’s three other patents 8,155,983, 8,204,764 and 8,214,233.

The Medical Group Management Association reports that the typical medical group sends, on average, 3.3 paper statements before payment is secured. PatientPay reduces the number of paper statements required to capture patient payments by providing electronic bills via text and email online. According to Cain Brothers, “Only 17 percent of consumers receive a medical bill electronically, despite over 70% preferring electronic statements.” This number is expected to grow with the ongoing increase in USPS postage rates.

“PatientPay’s patented integration capability is the latest example of our commitment to bring the healthcare transaction cost down by leveraging automation through the existing healthcare payment infrastructure,” said Tom Furr, PatientPay’s CEO. “With this technology we are eliminating the cost of manual back-end processing that’s required by other patient payment vendors.”

PatientPay is pleased to offer medical group billing vendors and revenue cycle management companies’ virtually instant access to our cost-effective service for their clients. PatientPay permits seamless patient payment data posting and offers a better payment experience for patients.

“Looking for My Sister”: a heart-touching narrative that serves as a reminder of humanity’s determination to surpass life’s capricious challenges. “Looking for My Sister” is the creation of published author, Jack Weitzel, a retired general surgeon, a founding trustee of Evangelical College and Seminary, a professor of Science and the Bible, a born-again Christian, and a cancer survivor.

Weitzel shares, “This book reminds us of how resilient the human spirit is. Its main characters live, love, and achieve in the ebb and flow of their lives, encountering slights and setbacks, but questing, overcoming, and thriving, to be suddenly stunned—flattened!—by true tragedy. This story explores what happens to people like you and me when we are frightened and vulnerable, staring into the unblinking eyes of terrible fate. It can be difficult to read—we are almost overwhelmed, wanting to cry out, ‘Oh no!’ and flee in terror. Yet, forging on, we are relieved to find fictional friends offering their much-needed support. Then, to our rising joy, the bedrock which keeps us from sinking appears—a robust Christian faith! Trust in our God, and His abundant love provides solace, hope, and guidance, along with unexpected reserves of strength. Cuffed to the ground, both characters and reader arise, regain their footing, and face the changed future with dignity and renewed courage. As the story ends, we forgive the author for forcing us to peer so deeply into the pit and thank him for allowing us to bask in the warm glow of divine love revealed. We are moved to prayer.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jack Weitzel’s new book reveals the hidden strength individuals possess throughout their lives as they strive to overcome the obstacles that hinder their progress toward enlightenment and the fulfillment of their life’s purpose.

Cyber competitions like NCL provide a way for cybersecurity students to demonstrate their skills to employers, especially with many entry-level jobs requiring experience.

CHEVY CHASE, Md. (PRWEB)
September 11, 2019

University of Nevada-Reno Students Prevailed Against 5,026 Students and 419 Schools.

Students from the University of Nevada – Reno prevailed against 5,026 students from 419 schools across the nation recognized as the top school in the nation during the National Cyber League (NCL) Spring 2019 season. This contributed to the inaugural college cybersecurity rankings by Cyber Skyline and NCL. View the entire Power Ranking list here: https://cyberskyline.com/data/power-ranking/.

NCL is a biannual cybersecurity competition for high school and college students. The competition consists of a series of challenges that allows students to demonstrate their ability to identify hackers from forensic data, break into vulnerable websites, recover from ransomware attacks, and more. Students compete in the NCL to build their skills, obtain scouting reports of their performance for hiring purposes, and to represent their school.

This is the first season that NCL and Cyber Skyline have designated official college rankings based on a record number of participation in the NCL Spring Season from individual students and schools.

• 
  Record participation from California with 1,165 Students
• Followed by participation from Maryland with 483 students and Virginia with 478 students
• NCL has seen participation from all 50 states and Puerto Rico

Students participated in a weeklong placement game followed by a weekend individual game, and culminated with a weekend team game. At the end of the competition, students received Scouting Reports that identified their strengths and weaknesses within different cybersecurity domains. Students use these reports in their resumes to validate their growth and skills in cybersecurity. The biannual competition is designed to help prepare students for relevant cybersecurity roles by aligning to industry certifications and government standards.

“We’re playing a full-on college cybersecurity sport. We are evidence-based, and we’re finally able to measure talent based on individual, team, and school’s performance,” said Dan Manson, NCL commissioner.

The University of Nevada — Reno faced fierce competition from schools such as the University of Hawaii at Manoa, California State University – Chico, New York University, the University of California – Davis, Texas A&M, and more than half the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security’s jointly designated cybersecurity Centers of Academic Excellence.

This spring, students from west coast schools topped the leaderboard with the University of Nevada — Reno, University of Hawaii at Manoa, and California State University — Chico placing first, second and third place, respectively. On the east coast, the top performing school was New York University while Wichita State University topped the central region.

“Demand for cybersecurity professionals has skyrocketed in the past several years. Cyber competitions like NCL provide a way for cybersecurity students to demonstrate their skills to employers, especially with many entry-level jobs requiring experience,” said Franz Payer, CEO of Cyber Skyline. “The new Cyber Power Rankings highlight the top schools producing new cybersecurity professionals. We’re excited for what competitions can do to help address the cyber talent shortage.”

Registration is open for the Fall 2019 season. Regular registration is $35 per student through Oct. 10. After that, the costs increases to $45 until Oct. 14. To learn more, visit nationalcyberleague.org.

About National Cyber League:

Founded in 2011 by an alliance of public agencies dedicated to developing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, the NCL is a nonprofit cybersecurity competition that measures the ability of students to perform real-world cybersecurity tasks. Powered by industry-leading cybersecurity skills evaluation technology from Cyber Skyline, the competition has students identify hackers from forensic data, break into simulated bank websites, recover from ransomware attacks, and more.

Free Event for Mom’s of Children with Autism

“The collaboration to create this spectacular night offers moms something they may sometimes seldom receive; laughter, acceptance, fellowship & a place to feel safe & relax! Moms can dress up, or down, gamble, network, win gifts, prizes & share time with others on the same journey.” – Hope For Three

HOUSTON (PRWEB)
September 04, 2019

Therapy and Beyond, one of the largest ABA providers across Texas, will present Southwest Houston’s 2nd Annual Mom’s Mingle for 100+ mothers of children with autism on September 10th, 2019 at Safari Texas Ranch in Houston, TX. Each year, Therapy and Beyond partners with local organizations to throw Mom’s Mingles in multiple cities, where 100+ moms of children on the autism spectrum gather to enjoy a night off from their busy schedules. Registration for this popular event opened on Friday, August 9th, and filled up in just a few hours.

About the Mom’s Mingles

For this year’s Southwest Houston Mingle, Therapy and Beyond has partnered with the nonprofit group Hope for Three to bring the first ever Casino Night Mom’s Mingle to the Houston autism community. 100+ moms will enjoy free food, drinks, raffle prizes, casino-themed games, and most importantly, immerse themselves in their local community of women on the same journey as themselves. According to the CDC, about 1 in 59 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). At times, caregivers may find themselves feeling isolated and lost. The Mom’s Mingles aim to share resources, connect mothers with their local communities, and give moms a night off to let their hair down.

Details about this mingle and other free upcoming events are available at http://www.therapyandbeyond.com/events

“Hope For Three is thrilled to partner with Therapy and Beyond for the 2nd Annual Mom’s Mingle Casino Night! The evening provides moms with children on the autism spectrum a fabulous night of fun, games, and friendship. Teaming up with community partners who understand the challenges moms face brings new perspectives to the event. The collaboration to create this spectacular night offers moms something they may sometimes seldom receive; laughter, acceptance, fellowship and a place to feel safe & relax! Moms can dress up, or down, gamble, network, win gifts, prizes and share time with others on the same journey.” – Hope For Three

The mingles first began in Dallas in 2013, when Dr. Regina Crone, founder of Therapy and Beyond, had the idea to create a community giveback that didn’t focus on a workshop or learning a new skill, but would simply give moms the opportunity to bond and have an amazing night out. The event was so successful that Therapy and Beyond began to establish annual Mom’s Mingles in other cities, such as Denver, Oklahoma City and Houston.

About Therapy and Beyond

Therapy and Beyond was founded in 2006 on the principal that there is hope for every child. Today, they provide 1:1 individualized ABA therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum in Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most commonly prescribed treatment for children on the spectrum, and focuses on expanding functional communication skills, executive functioning skills, and advancing each child’s independence. In addition to helping individuals on the spectrum through ABA, one of Therapy and Beyond’s goals is to find ways to give back to the autism community as a whole, through free events like the Mom’s Mingles.
