Houston TX, 07/15/2015 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Summer is here which means more people will be hitting the roads in droves for daily summer leisure activities as well as extensive travel. With all of the excitement that surrounds the season, transportation safety advocates are encouraging drivers to be mindful about accompanying driving risks. These include safety hazards typically linked to extreme heat as well as summer holidays that lead to more vehicles being on the road.

According to the Houston based car accident attorneys of the Houston Eberstein Witherite law firm, there are periods during the summer where safety risks appear to increase for drivers in Houston, as evidenced by statistics that illustrate a higher number of motor vehicle accidents have in the past occurred during these times frames. For example during Memorial Day weekend, which is the unofficial start of summer, Houston personal injury attorney Jonathan Harris who works with Eberstein Witherite says, “the rates of accident injury increase because there are more drivers engaging in problem behaviors such as drinking and driving.”

The Texas Department of Public Safety released information prior to Memorial Day weekend of this year citing that more than 5,000 speeding citations and 400 arrests linked to drunk driving were made throughout the state during the weekend leading up to Memorial Day in 2014.

The attorney further notes that summer holidays like Memorial Day weekend and the Fourth of July present multiple driving dangers at a time in some cases, including increased rates of drinking and driving and driver fatigue among those traveling distances and participating in celebrations as more people take to the roads during these time periods. In fact, the Institute for Highway Safety has deemed Independence Day the deadliest day of the year for U.S. road travelers.

According to IIHS data, there was an average of 127 deaths each 4th of July between 2008 and 2012…Once again, drunk driving accidents and a high volume of travelers played a big role.

Extreme heat also presents challenges that many drivers are not aware places them at a higher risk of becoming involved in a serious accident. When car components like tires are not properly monitored or maintained, they are more prone to breaking down in extreme heat. Blowouts on tires that are not well monitored and worn down, and bad judgement calls for dehydrated or heat exhausted drivers are two common problems linked to a number of car accidents that occur during the summer months.

In the event that one becomes involved in a car accident in Houston as a result of these and other summer driving risks, it is often in their best interest to contact a Houston personal injury attorney who specializes in these types of claims. If one has sustained injuries or damages in an accident linked to the negligence of someone else, they may be able to recover compensation as prescribed under Texas personal injury laws.

Transportation safety advocates like Harris recommend that Houston drivers exercise caution when getting on the road this summer at all times.

SFO,CA – 07/19/2015 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Those whose health care is paid for by Medicare and Medicaid are just like everyone else, some are more healthy while others suffer from chronic conditions. The healthier people incur fewer medical expenses because they need less treatment.

Medicare and Medicaid cover people no matter their health or the likelihood that they will become sick. Government health care programs normally pay health care providers a fixed amount for a patient with a specified diagnosis without taking into account who the patient was or how much care it actually took to make the person better. Since the provider is paid the same no matter what it costs the provider for treatment or the length of a patient’s hospital stay, the sickest patients who need the most care are the least profitable to treat and least attractive to the provider.

This creates incentives for healthcare providers to try to attract and accept the healthiest patients, those who will cost hospitals the least amount of money because they’ll probably have the shortest hospital stays. But if a provider selectively chooses the patients who are going to have the least expensive care to maximize the profit generated by the government’s reimbursement, they may be in violation of federal and state laws, including the federal False Claims Act (FCA). The practice, sometimes called “red-lining” discriminates against sicker patients or those who have a higher risk for illness because of the greater chance of higher costs.

The practice of red-lining is prohibited by law. When submitting Medicare and Medicaid bills for payment, organizations certify they are following the law. Those engaging in red-lining while submitting claims for payment to the government certifying they are not violating the law are filing false claims for payment under the FCA.

The FCA was enacted in 1863 by Congress during the Civil War because of concerns suppliers of goods to the Union Army were engaging in fraud. The FCA provided that any person who knowingly submitted false claims to the government was liable for double the government’s damages plus a penalty for each false claim. Since then the FCA has been amended several times and now allows for triple damages and up to $11,000 as a penalty for every false claim submitted. The FCA allows private persons to file suit on behalf of the government under its unique “qui tam” provision to allege violations of the FCA.

Denver, CO, 07/17/2015 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Denver, Colorado – LeaseRunner, a leading tenant screening and online leasing rental property software, has updated its suite of online leasing tools with a new mobile-optimized rental application and tenant screening workflow. The new workflow is a one-step process that simplifies the user experience and reduces the time for tenant screening.

With LeaseRunner’s rental application, a landlord needs only the applicant’s name and email address to start tenant screening. The landlord enters the applicant’s name and email address into LeaseRunner, selects tenant screening services (rental application, credit report, criminal report, and Financial Profile), selects whether the landlord or applicant will pay for the tenant screening cost, and emails out the rental application with tenant screening request to the rental applicant. The applicant completes the request electronically from his or her email at the applicant’s convenience and on any device. All necessary tenant screening authorizations are built in to the rental application, which is compliant with the Federal Credit Reporting Act.

LeaseRunner also rolled out a new tenant screening service called Financial Profile. This report provides the landlord with an analysis of a tenant’s financial health and the ability to pay the monthly rent on time. This report costs less than a credit report and helps a landlord distinguish between two applicants with similar credit scores. “Our customer base asked for a solution to help them choose between multiple applicants with good credit scores and to help screen applicants that have little or no credit history. The Financial Profile does this by analyzing their banking cash flow trends over the last 90 days, and providing verification of income deposits,” said Joe Buczkowski, LeaseRunner’s Founder. The new report graphs the rental applicant’s banking data and provides details and descriptions of deposit activity. The landlord will be able to see if on any given day, the tenant could afford the rent amount while also keeping a balance for other living expenses. Priced at $10, the Financial Profile is less than half the cost of a traditional credit report and takes the applicant only minutes to authorize on their mobile phone.

About LeaseRunner: LeaseRunner is a leading online tenant screening service and rental property management software that allows landlords to manage rental leasing transactions from any web-connected device. LeaseRunner provides tenant screening services to small landlords, property managers, and real estate professionals throughout the United States. LeaseRunner’s services include tenant credit check, tenant background check, eviction check, tenant income verification, online rental ads, online rental applications, lease agreements with e-signature, and online rent collection.

Dallas, 07/17/2015 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Dallas, Texas – In a time where there appears to be ever-changing rules for digital marketing and SEO, businesses are now questioning whether utilizing online marketing tactics like press release distribution can really work for them today. Press releases have traditionally served a valuable purpose for helping journalists find the next big story, but some suggest it is harder for online releases to be taken seriously in an age where an influx of marketing angled news releases are leading the pack of content thrown about online. Still press release distribution services remain ever present, and continue to be a key means for small businesses to get important announcements to the masses. So what gives? According to some journalists and digital marketing experts alike, press releases still offer high value if they are well written and have something important to say.

Mashable Tech Reporter Samantha Murphy Kelly, and various editors of some of the current top news publications helped provide perspective on the matter in an interview with Forbes magazine. There are multiple press release “turn offs” that make media executives like her quickly turn away from certain releases she comes across. These include those that target beats other than those a particular publication covers, carelessly perpetuate stereotypes, and offer no real story or context. According to Kelly, “Press releases are an efficient way to get news out to reporters, but often the language used is very dense and tedious to get through. I sometimes read an entire press release and can’t pull out the key takeaway.”

For businesses and organizations that would prefer that their important releases not be included on the list of undesirables, there are key things to consider before developing the content as outlined by CEO of Dallas based press release distribution company Qamar Zaman. The digital marketing experts who has had more than a decade in the field suggests that aside from choosing a platform that will put a business release in the right hands, there should be a strong evaluation of the content of a release itself before sending it out. Says Zaman, “the reason many releases don’t get the attention businesses want from it is often because they lack an obvious purpose and don’t flow well. Journalists and prospective customers can spot marketing hype from miles away in this media driven day and age.”

To tell if one’s release is “press worthy” or in need of life support, Zaman recommends that PR writers:

• Asses whether the feature sounds authentic – What voice does your release represent?” Zaman asks noting that when businesses attempt to make a presentation to build up their brand as opposed to offering legitimate news, most journalists immediately send them to the slush pile.
• Determine whether it has a strong news edge – Does your release make its point in 60 seconds or less? If not, the headline and opening are likely not strong enough. Zaman states “journalists are looking for useful, relevant, timely news, not what you think has earned your business bragging rights.”
• Check to ensure that it maintains consistency throughout – Consistent journalistic angling is important for releases throughout any release the CEO further states. “Some press releases either start or end well, but many don’t maintain a consistent angle. Adding any type of sales pitch to your reporting is a recipe for disaster.”
