Sharper Impressions Painting announces Corey Hancock’s promotion

Sharper Impressions Painting proudly announces Corey Hancock’s promotion to District Manager/Part Owner of the Indianapolis metropolitan region.

Corey Hancock now leads the Indianapolis Division for Sharper Impressions Painting. “Corey has proven his ability as a master painting contractor who delivers top-quality paint jobs for satisfied clients,” says company founder Geoff Sharp. “He’s a great manager and leader with solid industry knowledge.”

Established in 1992, Sharper Impressions Painting provides interior and exterior painting for residential and commercial properties and is well known throughout the area for unmatched, yet affordable and professional painting service.

The local paint company combines traditional attention-to-detail with technical advances that allow Sharper Impressions to offer careful analysis of prep-work and accurate quotes, saving each customer money and reducing environmental painting waste.

Sharper Impressions helps homeowners make important choices. “We are the only paint contractor who offers free, in-home color consulting and free color ‘try-ons’,” says Hancock. “I know that color selection can be a difficult decision. That’s why we work carefully with clients to find exactly what colors they’re looking for.”

One of Hancock’s recent projects for an Indianapolis client involved matching three different colors of paint seen on a house 30 minutes away. “We drove there, analyzed the house colors, then had our paint manufacturer duplicate the colors,” recalls Hancock. “I think it’s important to go that extra mile for our customers – that’s just what we do.”

The project, involving nearly 6,000 square feet of painting and staining, was voted best “Before & After” – an award given by fellow Sharper Impressions team members. “This was just another example of Corey’s dedication to his craft,” says Sharp, “and it’s great to see his peers acknowledge exceptional work.”

Hancock joined the company in 2007 and is married with two young children.

Medical Review Solutions Profile

Medical Review Solutions Profile

Medical Review Solutions started in 2002 and quickly grew to become a leader in the hospital & medical bill review sector of the healthcare industry.

The high cost of healthcare, combined with the complexity of the billing system, has become a major concern for payers. Furthermore, payers are becoming acutely aware that healthcare bills often contain substantial errors. This awareness has become especially prevalent since the subject of overcharges has become an issue at the center of local, regional and national media attention.

Although payers are aware of the problem most lack the specialized knowledge and skill to do bill review themselves. Many are turning to Medical Bill Reviewers to handle the review process on their behalf.

About Us

With a background in establishing EDI systems for healthcare applications, Medical Review Solutions is well versed in the healthcare industry as a whole - especially in cost reduction and containment strategies.

We keep our fingers on the pulse of what is happening in the healthcare industry to insure we position ourselves on the leading edge. As payers were becoming more aware of the immense and costly problem of billing errors, Medical Review Solutions quickly realized there would be a need for Medical Bill Reviewers. With this in view, we designed powerful software tools and a comprehensive training program to educate and equip individuals to enter this field. With the tools and step-by-step training we provide a person can now join this growing and dynamic profession.

With baby boomers aging, overall healthcare expenditures continue to escalate. The good news is: the demand for bill review services is growing right along with it.

Mission Statement

1. To provide an opportunity for the economic and professional growth of our Licensees/Solution Providers.

2. To continually conduct innovative research and develop leading edge strategies and technologies in the field of hospital & medical bill review.

3. To provide an environment for the growth and career development of our employees.

4. To be a contributing factor in solving the problem of the high cost of healthcare by directly addressing billing errors and other cost reduction issues.

Philosophy

Our overall philosophy is really quite simple and practical. We endeavor to provide a viable and cost effective solution to a specific targeted problem. Furthermore, the solution we provide must be measurable.

There is a huge problem in the healthcare industry. This problem accounts for over $10 billion dollars per year in inadvertent billing errors. When waste and abuse are added in, the amount rises to over $100 billion. This increases the overall cost of health care and at the same time decreases the quality of care.

Although identifying a problem is well and good it is not nearly enough. Discovering problems is only step one. Providing tangible solutions is what defines us and our Licensees/Solution Providers.

Healthcare payers have a problem and we provide a solution to their problem. What is the solution we provide? We provide software tools and training to individuals so they can become Medical Bill Reviewers and work with the payer community to insure they are being billed correctly for healthcare.

This is a very valuable service to payers because with the right tools and training a Medical Bill Reviewer can save a payer thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars, in healthcare expenditures. For obvious reasons payers are interested in these substantial savings.

New Green Building initiative by Capital Remodeling

New Green Building initiative by Capital Remodeling

Green building, also called sustainable design, is a term that is sweeping across the construction industry. Green building involves making a concentrated effort to reduce the construction industry’s carbon footprint. Obviously this involves certain decisions that affect decisions and practices during the construction phase, such as transport of resources and supplies, worker practices, and the proper disposal / recycling of left over materials. Green building practices go far beyond the immediate reduction of a construction company’s carbon footprint, however. It should extend well into, and beyond, the life of the building project to have a positive and long term impact on the surrounding community and, by extension, the environment in general.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance.

Green building practices will concentrate on three specific areas and resources; environmentally friendly materials, energy consumption, and water efficiency. Of course a fourth area, the health and well being of the building project’s intended occupants as well as the community, of which the building project will become a part of, should also be heavily considered.

The main focus of green building and design is to create a neutral to positive impact on the environment. The rewards for choosing to work with the environment instead of against it are obvious and numerous. There are, however, many financial benefits associated with green building practices, as well. A green building project that has been thoughtfully and skilfully designed, constructed and, of course maintained, will reduce overall construction costs by as much as 25%, will significantly lower maintenance costs, and provide other forms of monetary savings and benefits. On top of this, tax breaks, rebates, and positive branding will also contribute to the financial benefits that will result as an outcome of green building and business practices.

In order to effectively streamline resources and practices, and truly maximize the efficient usage of materials and resources, careful attention must be paid to design, construction, and maintenance. Design involves an emphasis on minimizing materials and waste, reusable and recyclable resources are chosen over other materials, and energy and water efficiency is planned at every stage. Along with reusable materials, cool roofing options are also utilized. Guidelines and restrictions for cool roofing colours vary from state to state so it is a good idea to look into exactly what is required before you build.

While looking into guidelines for cool roofing, it is important to also look into LEED certification requirements. LEED is put in place to provide standards of practice for sustainable design, or green building.

In the words of Kermit “It’s not easy being green” but the new Green Committee at Vacation Travel Club hopes to make it EASY for you to become a VTC “Green Giant”.

The Green Team has been formed to offer such resources and encouragement to all of our members so you can see how simple it is to create a greener working environment and reduce our carbon footprint.

We are in the process of planning fun events, awards, resource literature and organizing work shops for future conferences. We need you to get on board and help your company become a “Green Giant” and lead the way for others.

Vacation Travel Club is a leader in the Vacation & Travel Industry. Scot Ender of Vacation Travel Club says: “Going green is something that I am personally passionate about”….”We hope others will join us and see that going green is easy.

Vacation Travel Club, one of the leaders in providing year-round discount travel packages online, is now revamping its office to help the green movement reach its goal.

The Green Movement includes any individual or business that takes a stand in preventing harmful effects on the environment by making changes in lifestyle, behavior and habits. Vacation Travel Club is proud to be a part of this movement.

Compared to individuals, businesses waste more energy and produce more waste every day. Vacation Travel Club has taken several steps to save energy and avoid waste. Recently, the Vacation Travel Club has gone paperless whenever possible. If printing documents is really necessary, Vacation Travel Club makes certain that both sides of the paper are used to save 50% of the paper wasted in the past.

Vacation Travel Club is also planning to switch to low-watt energy efficient light bulbs and remove regular light bulbs within all of their offices. Vacation Travel Club is making simple habitual changes to cut back on electricity use through simple energy-saving techniques like shutting down the computer when not in use, reducing or turning the thermostat off when no one is around and using less water in the office. Vacation Travel Club has also began using energy-saving products.

Following the footsteps of thousands of companies around the world, Vacation Travel Club will also be teaming up with Carbonfund.org in fighting global warming. Vacation Travel Club is aware that the fight for climate change starts with education and Carbonfund.org can provide the knowledge and climate solutions needed toward a “zero-Carbon” world. A partnership with carbonfund.org offers businesses like Vacation Travel Club a way to calculate, reduce and offset carbon footprint for a clean energy future.

Vacation Travel Club is honored to establish green changes within the company and hope that by joining the Green Movement, they could encourage other businesses in the Vacation Industry to go this path as well.

Credit Repair Leads For Credit Repair Firms

Looking For Credit Repair Leads?

If you are in the credit repair industry then you already know the value of good, fresh, and responsive credit repair leads. You may not know where to buy the best credit repair leads online.

There are dozens of websites that offer credit repair leads and sales leads. There are only a couple that only deal in credit repair leads. A lead company that deals in only one type of lead like credit repair leads will most likely deliver your company the best bang for your buck.

If a lead company sells 15 different lead types then the quality may be diluted. Fresh quality leads will make you money over and over. Watch out for under priced leads and over priced leads! You should expect to pay $3-$5 per lead for credit repair leads if they are the real deal and even more if you want 100% truly exclusive leads (Which I doubt exist).

If you are new to the credit repair industry or sell credit repair letter kits or anything to people with poor credit then credit repair lead may be what you are looking for. You can search Google for “Credit Repair Leads” and compare companies there.

Vacation Travel Club On Avoiding Travel Scams

Avoid Travel Scams By Vacation Travel Club

Avoiding Vacation and Travel Scams has become a very popular topic this travel season. The team at Vacation Travel Club has compiled a list of common and avoidable travel and vacation related scams that you may encounter while traveling this Vacation season.

Vacation Travel Club is a leader in the online discount vacation industry. Vacation Travel Club offers their members some of the greatest savings and benefits in the industry. The tips to avoid vacation related scams below are provided for information purposes only.

1. Fake car park attendants. Previously prevalent in Italy, this travel scam now pops up in many big European cities, where parking can be notoriously difficult.

The trick can take many forms. You may just drive onto a piece of wasteland where other cars are parked or you may enter a big, official parking lot.

Either way, a “parking attendant” approaches you and hands you an official looking ticket, usually demanding a fairly exorbitant fee. You’re tired, frustrated and there’s a language problem, so you just hand over the cash.

Later, you discover you’re either parked illegally or there’s another fee to pay — this time, the real one.

Action: You put yourself at risk if you don’t know who owns the place where you’re parking or what the real arrangements are for payment. Check them out the best you can. You can ask the attendant to show credentials — but avoid confrontation.

2. Phony travel guides. You may have seen this trick in the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

At a famous venue, a local offers to show you around for a fee. This may be a fairly obvious and transparent ruse, where he’s just trying to make a quick buck.

But some scammers pose as agents for official guides, taking your money and telling you to wait at a particular spot. Of course, they never return and there’s no official guide.

Action: Guidebooks and online sites will tell you the arrangements for official, paid tours.

3. Bad cola, bad karma. In the Indian subcontinent, be wary of drinking unknown beverages when you opt for a familiar Pepsi or Coca-Cola labeled bottle at a roadside cafe, known as a “dhaba.”
What you might get is a carbonated drink that looks (and even tastes) quite like the genuine item. But the only genuine things are the bottle and the cap.

The drinks are made by gangs of street-wise youngsters, who collect thousands of used bottles and caps.

The drinks are usually mixed and bottled in unsanitary conditions in derelict buildings. Drinking them is definitely unsafe.

Action: Even though many dhabas sell genuine colas, you may want to play safe by not purchasing from them and buy drinks at your hotel.
4. Rental car repair rip-off. In this world travel scam, most common in Eastern Europe, you return your rental car, but when the attendant tries to move it, it won’t restart.

They make up a story about what’s wrong with it (usually, they’ve just flooded the carburetor) and blame you. The “cost” of putting things right is often the same as any security deposit you might have paid in advance.

If you didn’t pay a deposit, they demand money now and may even try to confiscate your luggage until you hand over the money. They’re banking on you being in a hurry, and become aggressive if you refuse to pay.

Action: Return your car with plenty of time to spare and ask to see the manager or owner if there’s a problem. Ideally, though, rent your car from a reputable-name agency with whom you can dispute the issue when you get back home.

5. Downgrading your hotel. This is an old travel scam that’s suddenly reappeared in the past year.

You check in at your hotel and are dismayed to learn that your room is in another nearby establishment that’s usually nowhere near as nice. The practice is called “walking.”

Most likely, the hotel has overbooked but it’s also possible someone at the hotel is on the take.
Action: Try refusing the sw

itch — hotels nearly always have empty rooms in reserve. Ask to see the manager or contact whoever made your travel arrangements. If you are prepared to accept the alternative, ask for compensation.

6. Free holiday awards. Although a well known travel scam, we can’t miss out mentioning the “you’ve-won-a-free-vacation” scratch card trick because it’s probably the number one scam on many European and Caribbean beaches this year.

There are numerous angles but the scam boils down to two things — you’ll either have to pay a “processing fee” to get your otherwise free vacation, which is really non-existent, or you’ll be asked to attend a tedious presentation where they try to sell you timeshares or expensive vacation add-ons with high pressure sales tactics.

Action: Every one of these cards is a winner — that ought to be enough to tell you what to do, but we’ll say it anyway: Treat these the same way you would an email that says you’ve won a lottery — trash them.

7. Credit card problems. This is our catch-all for numerous tricks you need to be on the lookout for this year. These are the key ones:
- Try not to let your credit card out of your sight when you’re using it in an unfamiliar place. Out of sight, the number and the crucial security code printed on the reverse could be written down.

- Don’t be taken in by a trader in a foreign country who offers to bill your card in dollars, thereby saving you a foreign exchange fee from your card issuer. The trader will almost certainly use an extortionate exchange rate and you’ll end up out of pocket.

- Check how much your credit card issuer charges for foreign transactions. Some charge nothing, others as much as 3% of the value of the transaction.

8. Don’t hit that Cash Send button. This is a new one that’s cropped up in South Africa and may appear in other parts of the African continent.
ATMs are equipped with a button labeled “CashSend” which enables users to transfer money to other people, even those who don’t have a bank account. They can withdraw it from another ATM.
This is a legitimate banking convenience but tricksters apparently can set up a transfer on an ATM before you use it. They then stand behind you and urge you to hit the CashSend button to speed up your withdrawal.

Action: Just don’t hit that button!

9. Paying for paper tickets. When you book a flight online, you usually have the option of just using an “e-ticket” (basically a printout of your booking confirmation that you take to the check-in desk) or having an old-fashioned paper ticket mailed to you for an additional fee.
Usually, this is $10, which is what the International Air Transport Association says it costs.

But some unscrupulous travel agents and organizers are charging up to $40 or $50 for this questionable privilege.
