CoverSelf secures $4.8M to reinvent healthcare claims and payment accuracy as it expands in the US

CoverSelf

The exponential growth of costs in healthcare remains a hotly debated and ever-evolving problem around the world. Over $4.1 trillion is spent on healthcare every year in the US alone, with administrative spending accounting for approximately one-quarter of the total amount. CoverSelf, a cloud platform for healthcare claims and payment integrity, is today announcing a $4.8m seed funding round to help reduce claims inaccuracies and reduce admin waste. The funding round was led by BEENEXT and 3one4 Capital. One of the long-standing critical challenges that the US healthcare claims and payment integrity has faced is the lack of an open system that allows untethered collaboration between and among payers, vendors, and providers, without data and workflow silos and “black box” constraints. The CoverSelf platform empowers all stakeholders in the healthcare payment integrity and revenue cycle ecosystems with faster, easier, and more accurate processes, as well as faster innovation and releases. This plugs revenue leakages and eventually reduces healthcare costs by a substantial margin. “The current claims integrity systems are very complex, and the deployed technologies are antiquated. Significant software innovation is needed to address the broken system that is currently creating out-of-control healthcare costs and waste. The cobbled-together software solutions result in scattered data and the inability to make real-time business decisions. Administrative complexity costs billions annually, an open and collaborative platform can significantly reduce the repetitive administrative costs.” commented Rajasekhar Maddireddy, Founder of CoverSelf. Founded in 2021, CoverSelf is a one-of-a-kind democratized, open and transparent healthcare platform, built by a team of highly experienced healthcare technology and payment integrity visionaries. CoverSelf has created a collaborative and comprehensive SaaS platform for all stakeholders, purpose-built for healthcare claims and payment integrity, providing a solid foundation for innovation while removing administrative waste and duplication of efforts. The company’s mission is to enable healthcare claims to be paid accurately, quickly, and conclusively. The platform enables a generational architectural shift that adapts to the dynamic nature of healthcare and empowers users without technical and external dependencies as the industry evolves. “We have spent over two decades working hands-on in the claims accuracy and payment integrity sector and we believe that when everyone has the data, payment and reimbursement guidelines, and updated data sets they need to process clean claims on the first pass. However the payment models are becoming more complicated and the pace of change is increasing, creating additional challenges for stakeholders, who in turn are finding it more difficult than ever to understand the increasing complexity. Our efforts are driven towards leveraging our extensive experience to reduce complexity and administrative costs by building a unified healthcare dedicated platform” said Raghavendra Pawar, Founder of CoverSelf. CoverSelf will use this funding round building out their platform and scaling the company operations as well as growing the sales, product and technology teams. "Administrative spends are a major driver of overall healthcare costs. CoverSelf’s payment integrity solution is designed to be easy to implement and maintain, both under-appreciated features given the dynamic nature of healthcare. Raj and Raghav have leveraged years of experience to provide fresh perspective to the problem, and we are excited to be a part of their mission to simplify healthcare claims processing," said Sonal Saldanha, VP, Investments 3one4 Capital. Dirk Van Quaquebeke, Managing Partner at BEENEXT, added: “We are very excited to partner with team CoverSelf targeting the U$4.1 trillion US healthcare industry. Estimated cost of waste in the US healthcare system is approximately 25% of total health care spending. Claims and payments integrity, i.e., incorrect billing or fraud, alone accounts for over US$100bn of the problem. Now, anyone ever having worked in the US healthcare system, understands its massive complexity. We believe team CoverSelf has assembled a uniquely qualified team to abstract this away and improve healthcare outcomes at reduced prices for patients in the US.” About BEENEXT BEENEXT is a Venture Capital fund managed by serial entrepreneurs that focuses on assisting founders with their operational experience, network, trust, unique perspectives, and capital. The team invests in early-stage tech start-ups that are focused on building the new digital platforms driven by the data network.

Contactless payments are taking off - why Identity-Bound Biometrics are Essential for Authentication

BIO-key International, Inc.

When Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) launched Amazon One — its contactless payment system — it put payments in the palm of your hand. But Amazon is not the only company offering advanced payment and identity verification technology. Passwords As A Thing Of The Past? People are on the lookout for more convenient ways to pay — it’s a win when you don’t have to carry multiple cards or remember passwords. Amazon One and other virtual payment systems make that kind of convenience a reality. At the same time, concerns around data privacy increase as customers face the possibility of sharing personal data. Biometric authentication, such as palm scanning, gains popularity every day and is considered a more secure and superior method that should be part of any holistic multi-factor authentication (MFA) strategy. Biometrics-based technology uses physical attributes such as fingerprint, palm, retina or face scanning to authenticate the user. Unlike traditional MFA strategies of log-in credentials or one-time passwords (OTP) sent via SMS, biometrics are less vulnerable to hacking, social engineering, account takeovers, and damaging cyberattacks. Credit card companies Mastercard Inc. (NYSE: MA) and Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) have gotten on board with this trend and enabled contactless payments and biometrics-based authentication for their transactions. Other digital wallet apps like PayPal Holdings Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: PYPL) Venmo and Zelle have become players in contactless transactions as well. Reports show that almost 74% of consumers have a positive attitude toward biometrics for access control, and the market for contactless biometric technology is projected to reach $18.6 billion by 2026 according to KBV Research. Secure, Easy-To-Use Access Control Companies like BIO-key International Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI) — with expertise in identity and access management (IAM) and Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) solutions — could play a big role in providing secure, easy-to-use authentication options for organizations while eliminating the high costs associated with traditional methods. BIO-key boasts a one-of-a-kind MFA mobile app — MobileAuth™ — that integrates the power of IBB across multiple authentication modalities, allowing customers to build a more complete MFA strategy. The app can safeguard critical data by authenticating the person with IBB using PalmPositive™ which uses a palm scan, or FacePositive(™) which uses facial recognition. The app also supports traditional MFA methods including Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iOS or Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android device-based biometrics and push tokens. It provides flexibility for employees, customers, and suppliers to choose from multiple, easy-to-use options to authenticate while offering the superior security and convenience that is offered by IBB methods. The company says that a key use case for MobileAuth TM is customer identity and access management (CIAM), scaling access to millions of customer identities with no additional hardware required. “With cybercrime on a steady rise, it’s more important than ever to have a strong, easy-to-use, and affordable multi-factor authentication strategy in place," said Michael DePasquale, BIO-key’s chairman, and CEO. “We’re at a critical point in the evolution of authentication where stronger solutions must include a factor that’s based on ‘who you are.’ We’re extremely proud to address this need by empowering our customers to take full advantage of traditional authentication methods as well as Identity-Bound Biometrics from the convenience of any mobile device using MobileAuth.” To learn more about BIO-key MobileAuth, Identity-Bound Biometrics, and PortalGuard, visit the BIO-key website. BIO-key is revolutionizing authentication and cybersecurity with biometric-centric, multi-factor identity and access management (IAM) software managing millions of users. Its cloud-based PortalGuard IAM solution provides cost-effective, easy to deploy, convenient and secure access to devices, information, applications, and high-value transactions. BIO-key's patented software and hardware solutions, with industry-leading Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) capabilities, enable large-scale Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solutions, as well as customized on premises solutions.

"SHIP" is the First-Ever "NFT Art Film" that Combines NFT Art and Entertainment

Art Tokyo Global Pte Ltd

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 14 September 2022 - Art Tokyo Global ("ATG"), a Singapore company, announced the completion of SHIP – the world's first immersive NFT art film. Making use of user interactivity techniques, the film sets a new milestone for the movie industry, enabling viewers to interact with the film in cinemas or from the comfort of their own homes. Featuring 221 NFT artworks across 14 scenes, SHIP showcases the work of over 80 emerging and established Asian artists. Among these is a unique collection of 5 art pieces -Shizuku Shizuku by renowned Japanese artist and architect, Mr. Kengo KUMA, who was listed on Time magazine's list of the World's 100 Most Influential People in 2021. The film seamlessly blends the genres of art, graphics, performance, music and technology into a coherent experience. Viewers will be treated to a multi-sensory display of cutting-edge NFT art, spectacular sound-tracking, moving stories of humanity, and will even have the opportunity to purchase the artworks that feature in the film right from their seats. Catered to both connoisseurs and new fans alike, SHIP presents an exciting new cultural experience and opportunity within the entertainment sector. The film features novel cinematographic techniques, such as advanced volumetric photography to construct virtual spaces from images taken by 2D cameras. During the film production, the director used 150 to 400 cameras to film each scene to deliver the immersive experience as a vehicle for rich visual storytelling. SHIP's narrative builds on the speculative geological theory of Amasia – a coming together and merging of the continents into a single entity in the distant future, emphasizing the importance of seeking connection with others and meaningful cross-cultural dialogue in our increasingly fractured present. According to Mr. Naohiko KISHI, Chairman and Executive Producer of ATG， "In this film, the viewers become a crew member of a ship that transcends time and space. Set across Greece, Egypt, China and Japan, SHIP navigates the viewers through a history of beauty and conflict that humanity has repeatedly caused; where cultures flourished on each of the five continents separated from a single landmass 250 million years ago, conflicts followed." The global premiere of SHIP has been scheduled for late November 2022 in Singapore, and a worldwide public release is scheduled for early 2023 in cinemas and across streaming platforms.

Florida Drivers Can Now Skip the Pump With EzFill App That Fills Your Tank Wherever You Are

EzFill Holdings Inc.

That capital may help it scale as the Orange Dawn ad campaign and continued growth among commercial customers bring in a wave of new on-demand fuel users. To meet the anticipated growth in demand, the company has increased its fleet to more than 30 delivery vehicles with plans to have up to 50 by the end of the year. EzFill Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: EZFL) is a player in the reportedly growing and emerging on-demand mobile fuel industry — the Florida-based gas delivery app began delivering fuel directly to customers at the start of 2022 and has doubled its revenue in the past year. Since its initial public offering last September brought in over $28 million, EzFill has reported focusing on rapidly expanding its fleet of delivery vehicles and making plans to expand into new territories. As part of that expansion effort, the company launched Orange Dawn, a new marketing campaign that will target individual consumers for a service that’s primarily used by commercial customers right now. The EzFill App Brings On-Demand Convenience To Fuel Industry As on-demand services like DoorDash Inc. (NYSE: DASH) for meals and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) for rides and Instacart for groceries signal a rapid shift toward direct-to-consumer products and services as the new standard, EzFill is bringing that model to the fuel industry. Learn More about EzFill Holdings Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report Similar fuel delivery models have popped up across the country like Booster Fuels and Yoshi, but fuel variety is what EzFill says is one of its strengths, giving the Florida-based company an edge when it comes to heavy machinery, boats, construction sites, and other market segments. More than just a way to fill the gas tank on their cars, EzFill app users can order fuel for their generators, boats, and machinery, saving them the hassle of hauling gasoline from the pump and the dangers of storing gas cans at home. As simple as ordering a Papa John's (NASDAQ: PZZA) pizza for dinner. Drivers can schedule routine refills based on how often they typically run through a tank or schedule an on-demand refill through the app as needed for wherever they happen to be at the time. The EzFill team will fill their tank where it’s parked so customers can keep working — or relaxing — without worrying about stopping at a gas station. This model has attracted dozens of commercial customers in the company’s first year of deliveries, bringing an expected demand for 1.2 million gallons per year from new customers signed since the beginning of 2022. In its second quarter alone, EzFill delivered nearly 790,000 gallons across southeast Florida, representing a 34% increase over the first quarter. New Marketing Campaign Seeks To Make EzFill A Consumer Name Orange Dawn, the company’s new brand-awareness ad campaign is aimed at growing the consumer end of the business, adding more individual users to the app. As part of that campaign, EzFill signed Miami Heat star Victor Oladipo as brand ambassador. The NBA veteran and EzFill customer will promote the pioneering gas delivery app to his fans. With the two-time all-star as its brand ambassador, the company says it has plans for radio ads, aerial banners, and over 60 billboards across southeast Florida to increase brand awareness across its home region. Meanwhile, EzFill believes that it is still very much in its growth stage, but it’s poised to grow rapidly as it reported no long-term debt as of June this year and a strong cash position, thanks to its successful IPO. EzFill is a leader in the fast-growing mobile fuel industry, with the largest market share in its home state of Florida. Its mission is to disrupt the gas station fueling model by providing consumers and businesses with the convenience, safety, and touch-free benefits of on-demand fueling services brought directly to their locations. For commercial and specialty customers, at-site delivery during downtimes enables operators to begin their daily operations with fully fueled vehicles.
