CSafe Launches Customer Advisory Board

Dayton, OH Mar 12, 2015 – CSafe, the world’s largest provider of temperature-controlled shipping solutions, exemplified its strong customer relationships with the inaugural meeting of its US Customer Advisory Board. Seven of the world’s top pharmaceutical and healthcare companies gathered with two senior members of the CSafe team at the Aileron center in Dayton, Ohio and discussed a wide range of issues affecting current and future trends in the safe transportation of temperature-sensitive products.
Members considered the changes in regulatory guidance and in particular were concerned about how best to interpret the requirements of Controlled Room Temperature, both domestically and internationally. The topic of the need to implement better Quality Agreements with vendors engaged the group and allowed members to share their own current experiences.
The question of changes in future distribution models for personalized medicine and the solutions that these highly sensitive bio products will need, were also part of the group’s wider discussion on future product developments from CSafe.
After a highly-successful inaugural meeting, the group will meet in six months’ time with an extended educational agenda. CSafe will have their inaugural European Customer Advisory Board meeting later in 2015.

GAFFEY Healthcare Webinar – Automated Claims Statusing Boosts Revenue and Productivity

How much time do your billers spend checking patient claim statuses? Automate the process and put an end to non-revenue generating tasks.
Plano, TX and Pleasanton, CA Mar 11, 2015 – Last week, we made the official announcement that our automated claim statusing software, AutoStatus, is now available as a stand-alone product, completely independent of the AlphaCollector platform. The amount of interest and number of responses that we received was impressive and, in order to meet demand, we’ve decided to host a free webinar to showcase AutoStatus and its collector productivity-enhancing capabilities.
Overview: AutoStatus is a cloud-based screen-scraping platform that interfaces with Medicare and over 200 commercial payers to automate the process of retrieving patient claim statuses & updating accounting systems in a fraction of the time it takes by phone or web portal. It improves business office work-flow by notifying collectors of what claims have been processed, adjudicated or if immediate follow-up is needed. The results are drastic time-savings for collectors and, ultimately, cost savings for facilities.
Who should attend: CEOs, CFOs, Business Office Directors/Managers, Patient Accounting Directors/Managers, Patient Financial Services Directors/Managers
Facilities: Hospitals, health systems, physician groups & surgery centers.
