After, Inc. just published a first-of-its-kind ‘Warranty Claims Scoring 101’ guide, giving manufacturers an in-depth look at how automated claims scoring is transforming the industry

NORWALK, Conn. -- After, Inc., a global leader in Warranty Services since 2005, developed a "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide, leveraging the expertise of its world-class Warranty Analytics team and over 17 years of claim scoring experience. Warranty Claims Scoring is a discipline not widely understood. Few in the industry know how these models are built and implemented, and the significant cost savings they can deliver. After, Inc. developed this guide to educate manufacturers, specifically now, when high inflation, layoffs, and supply chain issues are accelerating the need for warranty business transformation.

After, Inc.'s Group Director of Analytics, Dan Adelsberg, widely respected in the industry for his warranty-specific expertise, helped create this guide.

"What we see when we analyze clients' current systems is their use of basic business rules to process warranty claims," said Adelsberg. "For example, one manufacturer might automatically approve all claims below a certain cost. Another might check whether labor and parts costs are accurate, but neglect to compare those costs across similar dealers in its network. These examples and many others like them illustrate the need for more sophisticated claims scoring models - models that can better identify anomalies and save manufacturers millions in claim costs every year."

After, Inc.'s "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide covers:

* What is warranty claims scoring?

* How does it work?

* What challenges does claims scoring solve?

* How do I implement it?

* What results should I expect?

Beth A. Wilson Named New President of Excelas, LLC

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Beth A. Wilson has been named President of Excelas, LLC, a national provider of medical record organization, retrieval, and analysis, helping healthcare organizations respond to claims - and litigation - brought against them. Excelas, LLC's announcement today says Ms. Wilson's tenure begins April 17, 2023.

As Senior Counsel with HCR ManorCare/ProMedica Health System since 2009, Ms. Wilson has been responsible for resolving legal matters involving patient care with a nationwide network of hospitals, skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, assisted living facilities, outpatient rehab clinics, and home health and hospice.

Graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Toledo, Ms. Wilson was awarded her Juris Doctor degree from University of Toledo Law School Magna Cum Laude as the top-ranked female student, and inducted into the Order of the Coif (top 10% of law school class). She joined Cooper & Walinski, which in 2007 became the largest majority women-owned firm in the country, became a partner within five years, and then was elected to the firm's Board of Directors.

A 20 Under 40 Award recipient, recognizing distinguished individuals in the community, Ms. Wilson has advocated on behalf of individuals with disabilities to obtain reasonable accommodations, and sought Civil Protective Orders pro bono for victims of domestic violence. Her time and talents have also benefitted United Way, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, Assistance Dogs of America, The Toledo Zoo, and Advocates for Basic Legal Equality.

A frequent presenter and author on legal topics, Ms. Wilson was Editor-in-Chief of Life's Cheat Sheets by Jeff Wilson, a best selling book series to inspire young adults to develop fundamental life skills with shortcuts to achieving success.

Sharing the same passion for and advocacy on behalf of clients within the healthcare and skilled nursing industry, Excelas, LLC Founder & President, Jean Bourgeois, MBA, RHIA and Ms. Wilson have worked together to achieve successful outcomes, cultivate mutual respect, and recognize a profound commitment to positively impact the way healthcare is delivered.

While navigating the complex pre- and post-COVID healthcare landscape of acute-, short-, and long-term medical and rehab care, Excelas, LLC's Founder identified Ms. Wilson as the ideal candidate to succeed her as President when she steps away from day-to-day responsibilities.

Ms. Wilson's considerable accomplishments, dedication to community and professional integrity, along with her sincere desire and proven skills to help others resolve problems, will further propel Excelas, LLC's mission to position its clients' resources where they belong - in patient care.

Booking a Cruise in 2023? Travel Insurance Tips for Wave Season

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Wave season is officially here. For those new to cruising, wave season is the prime booking period for cruises, usually from January to March, when cruise lines offer excellent discounts and incentives. But with great deals comes great responsibility. Today, TravelInsurance.com is urging travelers to protect their purchases with a cruise travel insurance plan.

"Embarking on a cruise can be one of the most exciting travel experiences for an individual, a couple or even a family," said Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "However, planning a cruise vacation comes with special considerations. The potential of a missed connection en route to the departure port, severe weather, or even on-board medical issues can sink a vacation rather quickly."

When searching for travel insurance, it's important to look into cruise-specific insurance. While cruise insurance and your standard travel insurance policies may seem similar, they differ in several ways. Cruise travel insurance policies offer more customized and comprehensive coverage options designed to cover events and situations that are specific to cruises. This coverage may include missed port departures, cabin confinement due to illness, and trip cancellations due to inclement weather or other reasons.

TravelInsurance.com offers plans which can cover all of the costs of a cruise vacation, including airfare, hotels, and the cruise itself. However, it's important to keep in mind that the exact type of insurance offered can vary depending on the cruise line, but here are some ways travel insurance can protect cruise ship vacationers:

* Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance: This coverage offers reimbursement for non-refundable expenses if you must cancel or interrupt your trip due to a covered reason, such as illness or a death in the family.

* Medical and Dental Insurance: This coverage can provide reimbursement for emergency medical and dental expenses incurred during your trip.

* Baggage and Personal Effects Insurance: This coverage can provide reimbursement for lost, damaged or stolen baggage and personal items during your trip.

* Emergency Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance: This coverage can cover the cost of medical transportation if you need to be evacuated due to an emergency or medical situation.

"Most cruise companies will offer a single travel insurance policy choice to their customers but it's important to note that the level of coverage and protection offered can vary widely, so always review the details of the policy before buying," Sandberg continues. "TravelInsurance.com makes it easy to compare and buy cruise insurance policies and rates from multiple companies, and in many cases, travelers can find better coverage at lower prices than offered to them at the cruise point of booking."

Whether it's your first or your tenth cruise, travel insurance can help you focus on the fun and enjoyment of your vacation, rather than what might go wrong.
