CMS Awards Medicare Pricing and Coding Services Contract to Bellese Technologies

Bellese Technologies, LLC

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently awarded Bellese Technologies the Medicare Payment System Modernization (MPSM) Pricing and Coding Services (PCS) contract. For the past three years, Bellese has worked with CMS, the United States Digital Service (USDS), and stakeholders in the MPSM ecosystem to incrementally modernize the decades-old, mainframe-based legacy payment systems. The Pricing and Coding Services contract is a continuation of the claims pricing modernization work that Bellese accomplished on the preceding contract and includes new work for claims grouping and coding services. Medicare claims payment determination takes numerous variables into consideration, such as fee schedules, price calculations, geographic location, provider type, and payment model participation. The Pricing and Coding Services contract is part of CMS’ holistic approach to give responsive, correct, and accessible services to providers and vendors who support the claims submission process. The modern services will support CMS’ ability to quickly accommodate policy changes and initiatives that determine claims prices. “We’ve been fortunate to be an MPSM pioneer in the application of user research, product management, service design, and the build-out of a cloud-based architectural runway required to support the modern pricer tools,” said Pam Offutt, Bellese Partner and CEO. “Our goal is to give CMS the flexibility they need to quickly provide accurate pricing and coding services to the Medicare community.” John duClos, Bellese Partner and CTO, added that, “the use of a global API specification and a common component strategy contributed to the progressive conversion and modernization of the pricer product. We are excited to build on our success and grateful to continue this important legacy system modernization work with CMS.” ABOUT BELLESE TECHNOLOGIES: Founded in 2009, Bellese Technologies is a human-centered service design company in the Baltimore metro area. Bellese partners with health and human services clients in the public and private sectors. The firm leverages modern technology, human-centered design, and silo-busting collaboration to help its clients expand and accelerate the positive impact they have on society. Currently, Bellese works with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, supporting price transparency, Medicare payment system modernization, and quality of care initiatives. Bellese holds the GSA IT 70 Schedule and two CMS agile blanket purchase agreements (BPA) — the Medicare Payment System Modernization (MPSM) BPA and the Agile Delivery to Execute Legislative Endeavors-Quality Related Initiatives (ADELE-QRI) BPA.

Atlys Survey Finds New and Emerging Travel Patterns Amongst Americans Showing Increases in Travel Expenses; Non-Vaccinated Travelers on the Rise

Atlys

Eighteen months after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, countries have reopened borders to travelers. A recent survey conducted by Atlys found new and emerging travel trends, with travel becoming more expensive and uncertain than ever. The survey analyzed data from more than 3,500 travelers who used Atlys to travel abroad to understand these new travel patterns amongst Americans. Travel expenditure increased by a whopping $330 per trip due to COVID-19-related entry requirements, and so has the uncertainty, with 41% of travelers actively involved in travel communities related to their journeys. Additionally, 58% of American travelers were unvaccinated, with the most common destinations being Mexico (37%), Greece (19%), Dominican Republic (12%), Bahamas (11%), and Aruba (13%), and Costa Rica (8%). Major Survey Results Other significant results from the Atlys survey conducted over the summer include: 58% of Americans that traveled abroad this summer were not vaccinated. As countries reopened their borders, non-vaccinated travelers returned to the same travel patterns as before COVID-19. Old travelers are on the rise with a quarter being 50+. Amongst other demographic shifts, 47% of millennials refused to travel because of high costs, while 25% were scared to travel with unvaccinated children. Florida is the hub for unvaccinated travelers: 20% of unvaccinated American travelers live in Florida. The top 4 U.S. states by active COVID-19 cases also led the pack for most outbound travel amongst unvaccinated Americans. Florida accounted for most outbound unvaccinated tourists, followed by Texas, New York, and California. Traveling is inefficient: Each traveler spends more than 5 hours determining entry requirements and filling out paperwork. In addition, 23% of travelers saying they contacted either their airline, hotel,” or travel platform to understand the entry requirements with airlines call waiting times running into hours. The New Normal The current process is highly confusing for travelers. Mohak Nahta, CEO and founder of Atlys, said, “This survey highlights the inefficient processes set in place by governments. While it’s understandable that requirements exist to keep COVID-19 at bay, countries must streamline the process. As countries look to revamp tourism, they underestimate the impact of fast, efficient systems and clear, easy-to-understand processes have.” Countries have introduced a range of requirements to enter, making it more expensive to travel than ever. On average, the extra cost adds up to $330 per traveler and constitutes COVID-19 visas, travel insurance, and COVID-19 tests. In addition, 79% of travelers expressed frustration at the lack of disclosure by hotels & airlines on the added costs of traveling, only to discover them much later when the cancellation was not an option. A COVID-19 visa, also known as a health visa, is a new visa that travelers need to get. While they’re electronic, the approval is not instant. Authorities review each application; they can only be submitted a few days before the trip and are not free. “I wanted to travel to the United Kingdom, but I need to get a test within three days and then once I reach on the second and eighth days, and in between too? I am confused. I just decided not to go," said Sid, a 26-year-old Software Engineer based out of New York City. Many other travelers echo this sentiment, and the survey brings to light the importance of building systems to guide and educate travelers in the post-Covid world. About The Survey Atlys conducted the survey based on data from 3500 Atlys users between May 15, 2021, and September 5, 2021, for U.S. adults ages 18 and older. The Atlys app makes it fast & easy for travelers to get their visas. Contact Details Atlys Media Relations +1 650-550-1417 pr@atlys.com Company Website https://www.atlys.com/

Marquee investors rally into Coinrule funding round as auto crypto trading takes off

Coinrule

Fintech startup Coinrule which provides individual and retail cryptocurrency investors an automated crypto trading platform for their assets, has today announced a $2.2m seed funding round. A range of decorated tech founders and investors participated in the round including Fitbit founder James Park, Twitch founder Kevin Lin, Kayak founder Paul English and a fund in which Naval Ravikant is an investor among others*. Coinrule has also joined the YCombinator S21 cohort. Founded in 2018, by Gabriele Musella, Oleg Giberstein and Zdeněk Höfler, Coinrule enables cryptocurrency investors to create and test automated trading strategies for their assets to benefit from market opportunities but also to protect them against adverse events. It was created with the mission to increase the accessibility of trading strategies and models, typically the preserve of investment banks and hedge funds, for anyone. In effect, Coinrule provides algorithmic trading without having to learn a single line of code. Users can access one of 4 plans: one is free, the others charge a tiered fee for Hobbyist, Trader and Pro plans. Gabriele Musella, co-founder of Coinrule commented: “Coinrule is perfectly placed between two super trends, hyper financialization and the growth of automation in the world. We are bridging these trends to bring everyday crypto currency holders the opportunity to seize market opportunities. This funding and joining the YCombinator programme has put us in a good place to deliver our mission for financial inclusion by giving people the tools to compete in a new world of trading.” Coinrule has grown rapidly over the last 12 months and now has over 80,000 users trading assets worth £100m every month. In any given month, users are creating over 100,000 strategies on the platform as they seek greater ownership of their assets. “Crypto trading volumes account for over 10% of US equity trading and there are more than 60m active crypto traders worldwide. Moreover, our insights tell us there are some 360m people owning crypto assets worldwide with 82% who are keen to act quickly to market changes but feel constrained by the lack of means to do so. The opportunity is clear and present for Coinrule to help a range of people with crypto assets to generate value and protect their assets. Over the next 5 years, we plan to expand our user base to over 2 million and automate $100 billion in crypto trading volume” added Gabriele Musella. “The world of finance is changing. Up to 90% of global markets are managed by bots and run by investment banks and hedge funds, leaving the average investor with few tools to compete. Learning to trade manually is difficult and time consuming and the relative knowledge of professional and hobbyist investors is very different, and so is their access to opportunities.” Coinrule's vision is to become an investment ecosystem that allows users to backtest strategies, copy trades from expert investors in the marketplace, find arbitrage opportunities and automatically find the best prices across exchanges. Coinrule has already integrated it’s offering with global crypto exchanges including Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Bitstamp among others. Gabriele Musella concluded: “The new world of finance requires levelling the playing field between regular traders and hedge funds. Until that point is reached, we will continue to innovate and increase accessibility of the Coinrule platform to all. Long term, we intend to expand into traditional assets such as stocks as well as the new field of Decentralised Finance. Adding decentralised apps to Coinrule strategies would open endless opportunities like staking coins, smart routing and trading synthetic assets. All of this will be possible from one single interface enhanced with the power of automation.” Coinrule is uniquely positioned to become the link between the old world of finance and the new, offering an automated SaaS trading solution across all assets and platforms, * Other investors include: Matteo Franceschetti’s Superfund (Founder of Eight Sleeps), Zilliqa Capital (a blockchain crypto fund), YC Alums Fund, Urban Innovation Fund (a Silicon Valley fund), NZVC, Startup Leadership Program (SLP Angels), CV VC, Kube VC, NV Ventures, Christophe Lassuyt, Robin Bade, Justin Hamilton, Stelios Gerogiannakis and Dan Scarfe. About Coinrule Coinrule enables retail investors with crypto assets to automate their investments across multiple platforms to protect your funds and catch the next great market opportunity - algorithmic trading without having to learn a single line of code. Coinrule was founded by Gabriele, Oleg and Zdenek in 2018 to help more people take control of their cryptocurrency assets. In doing so, this will inspire normal people to learn more about investing and access trading tools that are currently only available to professional traders.

The company will expand into the rest of the U.S immediately, with full integration expected to take approximately 45 days. “We have more than 50 major fulfillment centers locked in that are centrally managed from our cloud technology. Once an order is placed, our customers will receive an email and text where they can track our drivers all the way to delivery,” said Hugh McPherson, EVP of D8.co. D8.co expects to immediately double online sales with the new integration. “We are extremely excited to launch 1-hour delivery,” said Duffield. “We just became the largest cannabis company in the United States, which makes us a prime acquisition target.

BEASY's success will be dependent on its ability to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel. Blockchain is a new technology and unproven in financial markets. There is no guarantee that tokenization will enable any secondary market liquidity in the future and your investment may remain illiquid.

News Direct Launches SimpliFi™, An Industry-First Feature To Streamline Earnings Release Distribution

News Direct

News Direct, the state-of-the-art news and content distribution service designed to meet the demands of modern media outreach, today introduced SimpliFi, an innovative feature that streamlines the process of creating and distributing financial content, including earnings releases, mitigating security risks and maximizing cost savings in the process. This first-of-its-kind software will allow issuers to save countless hours of wasted productivity, and potentially thousands of dollars in distribution costs. SimpliFi enables IR professionals to copy and paste their earnings content – including tabular data – directly into the News Direct Content Studio. From there, secure sharing capabilities allow key stakeholders to comment on drafts in a protected environment where changes can be made and tracked within the Content Studio with automated version history - minimizing any risk of issuing an incorrect version. "Earnings periods are often a stressful time for IROs," observed Gregg Castano, CEO and founder of News Direct. "SimpliFi puts an end to the tedious workflow that has long defined the process. The endless back-and-forth with newswire editors, often including multiple revisions, resubmissions, and waiting anxiously as deadlines approach, are now a thing of the past. We are finally bringing the disclosure process into the 21st century, with proprietary technology to ease the major pain points that have plagued investor relations professionals for decades." IR professionals have no room for error when it comes to disclosing financial information, for this reason, format retention is a key feature of SimpliFi – from bullets to footnotes, the original document format is preserved when migrated into the New Direct Content Studio. SimpliFi also allows for effortless editing of financial tables; its inclusive editing tools enable issuers to easily adjust cell content or table structure so all numerical values and data are optimized for distribution. The workflow advantages of SimpliFi are coupled with industry-leading security safeguards that protect information integrity on multiple levels. News Direct's platform eliminates the role – and potential risk – of human newswire editors, many working from home, from having access to highly sensitive information prior to market disclosure. With News Direct, issuers retain total control of their most sensitive information, exercising discretion as to the timing of their release to the investment community, without the involvement of intermediaries. Additionally, the innovative News Direct platform is built with cloud isolation technology and advanced encryption protocols, providing the industry's highest level of protection. And lastly, News Direct solves another major issue for publicly traded companies – the often exorbitant cost of earnings releases, which can total thousands of dollars. News Direct's flat-rate pricing model, regardless of word count, is both cost-efficient and completely transparent. To learn more about News Direct, please visit https://newsdirect.com. About News Direct News Direct provides news and content distribution for PR, IR, Corporate Communications and Marketing professionals. Our automated platform delivers a completely-reimagined, intuitive workflow, industry-leading security, transparent, flat-rate pricing and actionable analytics.
