To: All persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Aradigm Corporation (“Aradigm”) (NASDAQ: ARDM) between July 27, 2017 and January 8, 2018.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the methodology underlying Aradigm’s Linhaliq Phase III clinical trials was not well tailored to yield consistent efficacy findings or to provide data sufficient to account for discordant efficacy findings; (ii) the endpoint of the Phase III trials was unlikely to demonstrate a clinically meaningful benefit with respect to a patient population that would likely be taking the drug for a longer duration; (iii) accordingly, these studies were unlikely to support FDA approval of the Linhaliq NDA; and (iv) as a result, Aradigm’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you suffered a loss in Aradigm, you have until March 12, 2018 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

Robert Ronning – on the Significance of PayVida’s New Platform Launch

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2018 / The last several decades have been witness to the emergence of new ways for businesses and entities to conduct payments and secure capital, especially online. While these methods have brought about needed changes, small and mid-sized companies still face a number of issues that can hinder their successes and future revenue. PayVida‘s innovative Payment Facilitation, set to launch in early 2018, will be the first to offer instant mobile, online, and in-store payment acceptance and financial services to merchants in North America, creating new opportunities and conveniences for merchants in today’s economic landscape. Robert Ronning, co-founder of PayVida Solutions, details the specific advantages the revolutionary online payment platform will provide, as it ensures modern, cost-effective solutions that uniquely address glaring operations needs within the fintech industry.

“As it stands today, merchants have two main options; one being a traditional account provider through a larger bank, and the other being a payment facilitator like Square or PayPal,” says Ronning. “Both are effective and can meet a number of business’s needs, but they tend to be cumbersome due to an extensive signup process, as well as long waits for verification, approvals and funding. They also have implemented high fees due to the associated risks.” He describes PayVida as a hybrid between the two that retains their best features, focusing on common shortcomings and inconveniences that can often hinder a merchant, while also accommodating emergent pay methods and cryptocurrency conversion.

With the PayVida platform, instead of a long application process and waiting period, the user provides 12 simple lines of information, which includes a quick facial scan and uploading of a government ID. Approval status is offered almost instantly, which then enables access to a proprietary Smart Terminal and ecommerce suite, along with an optional debit card that can accomodate real-time transfers for both the business and its employees. All of this is built on a transparent and understandable pricing model, with no contracts, cancellation fees or monthly minimums. PayVida integrates with most online payment platforms, and even provides a developer-friendly API for those who want to customize it to their particular operation’s needs.

Another major aspect the company takes on is the possible trouble some businesses may run into when seeking to obtain a loan. Instead of approaching banks and payment facilitators, a merchant can use the PayVida Capital to see how much they qualify for, and then receive access to their funds within 24 hours after approval on the PayVida debit card linked to the account. “Smaller vendors often have challenges working with larger banks and qualifying for lending,” Robert Ronning says. “PayVida Capital makes the loan application process frictionless and easy to qualify for. The amount is based directly on sales, as opposed to the financial track record of the merchant,” he explains. “For example, if the user’s business does $20,000 a month in sales, we will typically lend them $20,000. It’s that simple.” Ronning believes this streamlined method to borrowing will give businesses the necessary resources needed to increase their revenue long term, avoiding the common roadblocks that deter many from securing the additional funding needed to reach their goals.

Robert Ronning is a financial technologies expert from British Columbia. In 2013, he co-founded PayVida, a groundbreaking payment processor on a mission “to rebuild the payment industry from the ground up,” radically changing the way businesses get paid and acquire capital. PayVida aims to spearhead the creation of a healthier marketplace by offering ethical and affordable payment processing solutions to business owners and entrepreneurs.

Direct Primary Care Legislation Rapidly Advancing in Multiple States – A News Roundup From Hint Health

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2018 / The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model has been growing nationwide at an astonishing pace with some states seeing a 2,084% surge in new DPC practices added – and even the slowest reporting a 67% expansion. The DPC model has been widely praised by both doctors and patients for the high quality of care coupled with low consumer prices. It does this by eliminating the insurance company middleman, allowing physicians to treat their patients without need for insurance authorizations, excessive administrative expenses, inflated costs or needless specialist referrals. Instead, patients pay a monthly subscription fee – averaging around $70 for an individual and about $150 for a family of four – which enables full access to their primary physician whenever needed – for checkups, emergencies and sometimes even house calls – as well as wholesale prices on drugs and lab work.

With such a win-win proposition, it’s no surprise that many states have been working to enact legislation to ensure that Direct Patient Care thrives. Hint Health, a pioneer in workflow automation for DPC physicians, has compiled a summary of the numerous bills advancing through state legislatures which deal with Direct Primary Care.

One of the hurdles has been red tape on the state level, which often lumps Direct Primary Care under the definition of “insurance” thus making it subject to excessive and even irrelevant regulations. The simplest solution that most states have chosen is to just declare that a DPC agreement between a patient and doctor does not constitute “insurance.” This is the approach that three states are in the process of working towards:

In January, the Florida State House of Representatives passed HB 37. The bill has now advanced to the Florida State Senate for consideration.
On February 14, H4643 was unanimously approved by the South Carolina House of Representatives and advanced to the State Senate.
Wisconsin has a pair of bills advancing through the legislature. Assembly Bill 798 was approved on February 20. A companion bill, Senate Bill 670, is awaiting scheduling. In addition to defining Direct Patient Care as “not insurance,” both bills aim to open up DPC to Medicaid recipients.
The Nebraska State Legislature is considering LB 1119, which would launch a two-year pilot program opening up Direct Primary Care services to state employees. The state had already authorized DPC in 2016.

Hint Health launched in 2013 with one mission – to provide the tools for direct care doctors to automate their back office operations and DPC administration. Hint’s advanced SaaS platform includes all the software engines for robust plan management, patient onboarding, billing & collections, eligibility management and even inventory control necessary to streamline a direct primary care practice. Their clients include DPC practices throughout the United States, and as such the company is in a unique position to compile some of the most detailed, “ground-level” data on all aspects of the DPC industry including nationwide growth trends, pricing trends, payment trends and key demographic information. In much the same way that ADP has become the premier source for U.S. employment data due to its payroll processing work, Hint has become a primary source for Direct Primary Care data.

Journalists, doctors, and others interested to learn more about the Direct Primary Care industry are encouraged to download a copy of Hint’s “2017 Direct Primary Care Trends Report.”

About Hint Health

Founded with an exclusive focus on the direct primary care movement, Hint has been working with trailblazing physicians to automate their administration workflows since 2013, making it easy to operate and scale-up this new practice model while efficiently managing overhead costs.
