The Mortgage Collaborative partners with TheZebra.com to deliver a seamless home insurance shopping experience for borrowers

SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 21, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the nation’s largest independent cooperative network for mortgage lenders, announced a strategic partnership with TheZebra.com, the easiest way to compare and buy insurance, that will give TMC’s lender members a direct way to connect borrowers with home insurance options at the point of mortgage origination.

Image caption: TMC – The Mortgage Collaborative.

Under the agreement, lender members can refer borrowers to The Zebra’s platform to compare quotes from more than 110 carriers and purchase coverage before closing. Lenders receive compensation per qualified referral for actions borrowers are already completing as part of the homebuying process. The Zebra reports some borrowers have saved more than $150 a month on home insurance through its platform.

“Finding and securing the right homeowners insurance adds a layer of complexity in an already complex homebuying process,” said Jodi Hall, president and CEO of The Mortgage Collaborative. “Partnering with The Zebra gives our lender members a meaningful way to support their borrowers through that moment with a trusted, transparent platform that makes it easier to compare options and move forward with confidence.”

“TMC has built a fantastic community of lenders and vendors solely focused on creating better outcomes for borrowers as they navigate one of the largest financial decisions of their lives,” said Fritz Merizon, strategic partnerships manager at The Zebra. “Partnering with them is a natural fit, and we’re excited to help lenders give borrowers peace of mind knowing their investment is well protected with the right coverage at the right price.”

Once a borrower is under contract, the process begins with a few questions about their needs and budget. They can then compare quotes across carriers or consult a licensed agent before selecting coverage. The Zebra delivers the declarations page directly and monitors for additional savings opportunities after purchase.

TMC lender members will have access to The Zebra’s platform beginning June 2. Lender members interested in the partnership can contact their member benefits advocate. Lenders interested in joining TMC may contact referrals@mtgcoop.com.

HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 30, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A troubling reality in the healthcare industry has come to light: health care insurance companies are being allowed to prioritize profits over people, causing a devastating ripple effect that results in nearly 50% of home care agencies closing their doors within five years, says Ace Compliance Consulting. As the baby boomers retire, this systemic failure threatens the very fabric of our healthcare ecosystem and leaves vulnerable populations without essential care.

According to recent studies, home care agencies are disproportionately impacted by unfair reimbursement practices, delays in claim approvals, and rising operational costs driven by insurance loopholes. These obstacles make it nearly impossible for agencies to sustain operations, leaving patients stranded and caregivers jobless.

“This is more than a business crisis; it’s a humanitarian crisis,” said Charlene Taylor, CEO at Ace Compliance Consulting. “When home care agencies close, families at their most vulnerable state, lose access to the care they rely on, and dedicated healthcare workers lose their livelihoods. This isn’t just about numbers—this is about the impact on people’s lives.”

KEY ISSUES: HOW INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE UNDERMINING HOME CARE

Non-Payments: Insurance companies such as United Healthcare and Texas Healthspring, grant prior authorization for the agency to render services and fail to pay the agency after the agency has rendered services to patients, paid nursing, home care aids, and therapy staff.
Delayed Reimbursements: Home care agencies often wait months for insurance companies to process claims, creating cash flow challenges that lead to closures.
Arbitrary Denials: Insurance providers deny claims for essential care, forcing agencies to absorb costs or pass them onto patients.
Reduced Coverage Rates: Insurers frequently cut reimbursement rates, leaving agencies unable to cover the cost of care and payroll for caregivers.

THE IMPACT: A LOOMING PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS

With the aging population rapidly increasing, the need for home care services has never been greater. Yet, the actions of the health insurance industry are eroding this critical sector.

50% of home care agencies close within five years due to financial strain.
Millions of seniors and individuals with chronic illnesses are left without access to quality care.
The caregiver workforce dwindles, exacerbating a growing labor shortage in the healthcare industry.

A CALL TO ACTION

The time to act is now. Regulators, policymakers, and industry leaders must hold health insurance companies accountable for their role in undermining home care agencies.

Key recommendations include:

Insurance Oversight Board: Provide oversight and support for agency owners to file complaints that are investigated with legal and financial ramifications against the Insurance companies.
Legislative Reforms: Mandate timely reimbursements and fair compensation for home care services.
Transparency Standards: Require insurers to disclose reimbursement practices and payment timelines.
Public Awareness Campaigns: Notifications of non-payments and denials for care or services must be provided to both the agency and the patient. Educate patients and families about their rights and the importance of supporting home care providers.

VOICES OF CHANGE

Stories from the front lines reveal the human toll of this crisis:

The CEO of an agency forced to lay off employees, transfer patients to another agency, and closed its door permanently due to over $500k in unpaid insurance claims with prior authorizations.
A single mother in Houston forced to quit her job because her home care agency closed, leaving her without care for her disabled child.
A 78-year-old veteran in Houston struggling to find care after his local agency was shuttered due to mounting insurance disputes.

“If we don’t fix this, we’re setting ourselves up for a healthcare catastrophe,” added Charlene Taylor. “We must protect the backbone of our healthcare system before it collapses entirely.”

Join the Movement

Ace Compliance Consulting invites healthcare providers, advocates, and concerned citizens to join the fight for fairness in the healthcare insurance industry. Together, we can ensure that home care agencies thrive and continue to provide life-saving care to those who need it most.

Alliance Group Celebrates Eighth Annual Living Benefits Awareness Month This January

Living Benefits Awareness Month highlights the importance of owning the 'new kind' of life insurance that individuals can use while they’re still alive

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Dec. 27, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Alliance Group is proud to announce the eighth annual Living Benefits Awareness Month (LBAM), kicking off this January with the theme, Get the Most Out of Life. The month-long campaign aims to educate consumers about the transformative value of Living Benefits life insurance, which ensures policyholders get more value from their life insurance premiums by offering powerful, free features that traditional policies lack.

Image caption: Living Benefits Awareness Month.

Living Benefits Awareness Month highlights the importance of owning the “new kind” of life insurance that individuals can use while they’re still alive. This cutting-edge approach to life insurance works like traditional coverage, providing financial security for loved ones in the event of the policyholder’s death, but it also allows policyholders to accelerate their death benefits if they face serious illness or injury. With coverage for conditions like cancer, heart attack, stroke, and more, Living Benefits provide policyholders with critical access to funds during some of life’s most challenging moments.

“Too many Americans are still unaware of what Living Benefits life insurance can do for them and their families,” said Lee Duncan, President and CEO of Alliance Group. “Living Benefits Awareness Month is about showing people how they can protect their loved ones while also giving themselves the financial flexibility to face serious health challenges head-on. It’s life insurance that’s there for you, whether you live or die.”

This year’s theme, Get the Most Out of Life, emphasizes the need for individuals to rethink their life insurance strategies. Many consumers are unknowingly paying premiums on outdated policies that only offer protection in case of death, leaving them vulnerable to financial strain if faced with critical health events. The campaign urges Americans to take action by reviewing their current policies and exploring options that include Living Benefits to ensure they’re maximizing the value of their insurance.

Samuel Howe, Chief Marketing Officer at Alliance Group, commented, “Living Benefits are a game-changer. We’ve seen firsthand how these policies can transform lives by providing much-needed financial relief during times of serious illness or injury. This year’s LBAM theme is a reminder that life insurance isn’t just about dying—it’s about living life to its fullest and having peace of mind.”

The campaign will feature educational videos, testimonials, and digital resources to empower consumers with knowledge about Living Benefits. These resources aim to make life insurance accessible and relatable, showing real-life examples of how Living Benefits have made a difference for families when they needed it most.

As the leader in the Living Benefits marketplace, Alliance Group continues its mission to revolutionize the life insurance industry. By combining education with engaging content, the company hopes to inspire individuals to take control of their financial futures and ensure they’re truly getting the most out of life.

TravelInsurance.com Urges Travelers To Get Travel Insurance Coverage for 2024 Winter Trips

NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With winter travel just around the corner, savvy travelers are preparing not only for the possibility of harsh weather conditions but also the kind of technological issues that plagued the summer 2024 travel season leaving thousands stranded, frustrated, and with unbudgeted additional costs. TravelInsurance.com underscores the importance of safeguarding travel investments against unforeseen disruptions—natural or manmade—with a comprehensive travel insurance policy.

Image caption: TravelInsurance.com.

Last summer, a massive system failure led to a cascade of delays and cancellations, leaving travelers without recourse for compensation. At the peak of the disruption, industry analysts[1] cited more than 7,000 flights were delayed and around 2,500 were canceled in the U.S. Airlines struggled to compensate for accommodations and meals, leaving many scrambling to cover unexpected expenses. The situation underscored the importance of having a travel insurance policy that can step in when airline assistance falls short.

As the winter travel season is set to get underway in the next few weeks, travelers should not rely solely on airlines to cover costs in case of delays, cancellations, or other unexpected disruptions. TravelInsurance.com emphasizes the importance of securing coverage for winter 2024-2025 to ensure a smoother experience and avoid out-of-pocket expenses.

“While no one can predict when the next travel disruption might occur, the summer 2024 chaos proved that it’s not just bad weather that can ruin travel plans,” says Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. “Don’t wait until you’re at the airport – research and purchase insurance well ahead of your trip to ensure you’re fully protected. By investing in the right type of travel insurance, you can have peace of mind during the winter travel season, regardless of what obstacles arise.”

KEY POLICIES TO CONSIDER

When purchasing travel insurance, it is essential to ensure that travelers tailor their coverage. Here are the top three coverages TravelInsurance.com recommends:

Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance: Provides reimbursement for non-refundable trip costs when canceled or cut short due to covered reasons such as illness, weather, or airline disruptions.
Travel Delay Coverage: Compensates for additional expenses due to delays, including accommodations, meals, and transportation costs. Extended delays, particularly during high-traffic periods like the holidays, can leave travelers stranded in airports for hours or even days. A comprehensive travel insurance policy generally provides compensation for meals, lodging, and other incidental costs when delays exceed a certain threshold.
Baggage Insurance: Baggage insurance provides reimbursement for lost, stolen, or damaged luggage, helping to cover the cost of essentials.

Leading Travel Insurance Comparison Website, TravelInsurance.com, Provides Critical Advice for Travelers During the Active 2024 Hurricane Season

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- As the 2024 hurricane season kicks off, forecasts indicate this will be an above-normal season with potentially record-breaking activity. TravelInsurance.com underscores the importance of safeguarding travel investments against unforeseen disruptions. With predictions from Colorado State University's tropical meteorology project team forecasting 23 storms, 11 which could intensify into hurricanes, including five reaching Category 3 status or higher, travelers face heightened risks during this summer.

With the expected surge in summer 2024 travel, TravelInsurance.com emphasizes the critical need to purchase travel insurance to mitigate hurricane season risks.

"This year's forecasts predict one of the most extensive hurricane seasons ever," says Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "Don't wait until you're at the mercy of the elements to consider travel insurance. Once a storm is named, it's too late to get coverage, which is why we urge travelers to buy early."

Travel insurance provides a sense of ease, knowing non-refundable expenses are safeguarded in case of disruptions. TravelInsurance.com not only simplifies the process of comparing and purchasing insurance from global travel insurers but enables users to find the right plan, for the right trip, at the lowest guaranteed price.

To assist travelers this hurricane season, TravelInsurance.com offers the following tips:

* Plan Ahead: Purchase travel insurance in advance. Hurricane coverage isn't available if your policy is purchased after a storm is named.

* Choose Wisely: Especially this year, choose your destination strategically - such as heading to the south Caribbean instead of the north Caribbean islands that are more prone to hurricanes - and obtain insurance against flight disruptions, accommodation issues, and travel cancellations.

* Go Comprehensive: Opt for Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage, providing maximum flexibility without incurring significant costs. Look for policies offering evacuation coverage in case you need to leave your destination due to an impending storm.

Alliance Group and Four-Time Olympian Chaunté Lowe Join Forces for 2024 Living Benefits Awareness Month, National Life Group Joins as Co-Sponsor

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Alliance Group, a leading IMO in the insurance industry, is thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with four-time Olympian and American high jump record holder, Chaunté Lowe, for Living Benefits Awareness Month (LBAM) in January 2024. In a demonstration of their shared commitment to spreading consumer awareness about Living Benefits, National Life Group has also stepped in as a co-sponsor of this pivotal event.

Living Benefits Awareness Month serves as a vital platform to underscore the significance of Living Benefits insurance policies, emphasizing the importance of consumers having Living Benefits features built into their life insurance policies that allow access while they're still living if they suffer a covered critical illness, critical injury, or chronic illness. Alliance Group, in conjunction with Chaunté Lowe, is proud to introduce her as the official spokesperson for LBAM, adding a new dimension to this important cause.

Chaunté Lowe boasts an impressive athletic career, with four Olympic Games appearances, solidifying her position as a prominent figure in American high jumping history. Beyond her sporting achievements, Chaunté is a symbol of unwavering determination and resilience. In 2019, she courageously faced and overcame breast cancer, a testament to her remarkable strength. Chaunté's Living Benefits policy, which she had put in place just two years prior to her diagnosis, provided her a "shining ray of light and hope" in knowing that her policy would provide an additional layer of financial security during her cancer battle.

"When I was offered this opportunity to have a platform to share the importance of owning Living Benefits, I was so excited to get started," said Lowe. "Every family, business, or person who can qualify for them must know what Living Benefits are and how they bring financial protection against life's most difficult health challenges. I'm talking about real cash money in your hands, during the crisis when you need it most. I'm so proud to join Alliance Group in this campaign to get the message of Living Benefits Awareness out there."

Alliance Group, in its seventh annual LBAM, is taking the event to new heights by featuring Chaunté Lowe in an engaging social media campaign. Alongside this, the company will unveil a host of shareable videos, all showcasing Chaunté's inspirational career, cancer battle, and passion as the first-ever LBAM spokesperson. Comprehensive customizable websites, email campaigns and a suite of resources are being made available to Alliance Group's partnered independent life insurance agents and agencies, empowering them to actively participate in LBAM throughout January to spread the word.

"Chaunté Lowe's extraordinary journey, from her remarkable sporting career to her triumphant battle against breast cancer, makes her the ideal ambassador for Living Benefits Awareness Month," noted Samuel Howe, CMO at Alliance Group. "We are thrilled to have Chaunté as our official spokesperson and are grateful to National Life Group for their invaluable support in making this partnership a reality. Together, we are dedicated to highlighting the importance of Living Benefits insurance, ensuring individuals and families are better prepared for life's unexpected challenges."

National Life Group is equally enthusiastic about co-sponsoring this initiative. "Since 1848, National Life Group's mission has been to bring peace of mind to our policy holders and their families," shared Matt Frazee, EVP/CMO, National Life Group. "We've always believed that life insurance should offer more than the expected, and we're excited to join Alliance in helping to shine a light on the power of life insurance with Living Benefits."

Insurance Industry Pioneer Releases Hybrid Guidebook on Building a Profitable Insurance Agency

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Inspirational entrepreneur Tim Gaspar has re-launched his debut book "The Biggest Leap: Building a Profitable Insurance Agency from the Ground Up" (ASIN: B0C3JGZZQR).

In "The Biggest Leap," Gaspar takes readers on a captivating journey, chronicling his remarkable rise from being on the brink of bankruptcy at the age of 20 to achieving immense success in the insurance business by understanding the industry and emphasizing people management. Gaspar draws on a lifetime of entrepreneurial experience, and the lessons and insights they taught him, in order to craft a book that contains key ingredients for building a successful insurance agency.

Throughout the book, Gaspar shares his own hard-won methodologies that propelled him from his personal rock bottom to a successful exit worth tens of millions of dollars by the time he reached 40. In the book, Gaspar avoids the typical get-rich-quick schemes and instead offers genuine principles for building a thriving insurance agency. Primarily, Gaspar stresses the importance of having all major corporate decisions benefit the business, team and customer at once, with the intention of creating sustainable long-term value:

"As I started an agency and opened different offices, I valued having full control over my time, allowing me to spend precious moments with my family," Gaspar says. "I wrote this book to help people build the insurance agency of their dreams. It's not about quick money; it's about building a business that generates millions of dollars in commission revenue and profitability."

Grounding these principles are lessons from Gaspar's life, illustrating that his journey was inspired by both his stepfather, a successful life and health insurance agent, and his late father, whose influence motivated Gaspar to make an impact as a positive, hardworking individual.

While "The Biggest Leap" is certainly a guide to building a successful business, it is also a testament to what Gaspar calls one of the best industries in the world. As he explains, the insurance industry has no inventory concerns and plenty of recurring revenue-all of which offers aspiring entrepreneurs everywhere a unique opportunity to create lasting value.

"The Biggest Leap: Building a Profitable Insurance Agency from the Ground Up" is now available on major platforms, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For more information on entrepreneurship, Gaspar offers additional free resources on https://thebiggestleap.com/.

Travel Insurance Advisory for 2023 Hurricane Season

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Hurricane season is underway and just off the Gulf of Mexico, Tropical Storm Arlene has become the first named storm of the season. With the summer travel season picking up across the country, TravelInsurance.com is taking the time to remind travelers the importance of protecting their trip costs.

The hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30, and while the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters are predicting a "near-normal" hurricane season in the Atlantic, they still estimate 12 to 17 total named storms with winds of 39 mph or higher, including 1 to 4 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher.

While there is no doubt the possibility of hurricanes are disconcerting, it is hard to predict when and where they will hit, leaving travelers to weigh the risks with the rewards of traveling to their desired destination.

With the right protection, however, travelers don't have to limit their destination choices. By purchasing travel insurance, travelers can protect their money invested in a trip in the event a hurricane disrupts their travel plans. Most trip cancellation plans can be purchased for as little as four percent of the entire cost of the trip. TravelInsurance.com makes finding the right insurance easy, by letting users compare and buy travel insurance online from top-rated providers, at the guaranteed lowest price, tailored specifically for their needs.

"Traveling during the hurricane season adds an element of risk to one's trip. Travel insurance can eliminate the worry of an unforeseen event causing you to lose your hard-earned money," said Stan Sandberg, co-founder of TravelInsurance.com. "And travelers should not wait to buy a policy, because once a storm is named, it's too late to purchase travel insurance to protect against the named storm."

Here are some tips to keep in mind when booking this hurricane season:

* Consider when, and where you are traveling. Hurricane season is long and there will be many storms. The areas most affected are along the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic region. Travelers flying into or out of these regions should consider purchasing travel insurance in case their flights get grounded and they can't make it to their destination.

* Flexibility. With inflation causing rising prices in the travel industry, travelers need to have the option to change their mind about their plans. For the most flexibility, a Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) optional upgrade will give you the ability to cancel for any reason whatsoever.

* The location of where you are staying. It's important to consider the location of your destination and if your resort, hotel or rental could be in the path of a hurricane. Some travel insurance policies will provide trip cancellation and trip interruption protection in the event of a NOAA-issued hurricane warning at your destination.

Vacationers who invest in travel insurance can potentially save thousands of dollars in the event of a hurricane.

Trends in Drug Benefit Design Report Released by Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG)

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG), an EPIC company, is pleased to announce the launch of its Trends in Drug Benefit Design Report. The report delivers innovative research on the latest trends in the traditional (non-specialty) drug benefit. Sponsored by Rx Savings Solutions, it outlines the complexities of designing and managing the drug benefit and the cost challenges faced by consumers and plan sponsors alike.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FINDINGS INCLUDE:

* Plan sponsors are grappling with the potential cost of weight loss drugs.

With respondents divided on weight loss as a lifestyle or chronic condition, 43% cover FDA-approved weight loss medications, and 28% may do so in the next 1-2 years.

"Employers are concerned about affordability, as well as the long-term side effects resulting from chronic use," commented Michael Medel, PharmD, Senior Vice President and Practice Lead Plan Sponsors. "While there is recognition of the positive health benefits of weight loss, the data is lacking today to support any significant cost-offset of those benefits."

* Most plans use more than one type of trend and utilization management program, such as prior authorization and refill too soon limits, but these programs can present challenges.

Growing percentages of respondents cited cost and cumbersomeness as barriers to utilization management programs. Two-thirds of respondents wanted more transparency and accountability in these programs, and over half expressed interest in new offerings for tracking and controlling utilization.

* Major advancements have been made in gene and cell therapies over the past 5 years, and as the pace of change increases, interest in financial protection products is growing.

Nearly all (91%) respondents have heard of gene therapy financial protection products. While just 7% currently use these products, nearly half are considering it.

"With a robust cell and gene therapy pipeline, plan sponsors are seeking ways to mitigate the financial risk these expensive therapies present while also ensuring access for their members. Although few are currently using cell and gene therapy financial protection products, many are considering it. This will be an interesting trend to watch in the coming years," noted Morgan Lee, PhD, MPH, CPH, Senior Director, Research & Strategy, PSG.

* Plan sponsors recognize the need to reduce wasteful drug spend.

A little over half of plans (53%) take steps to identify and reduce wasteful spend in the formulary; that percent rising to 75% when isolating the data to health plans. Blocks, exclusions, and use of programs and reporting from their PBM are among the most common steps they take to address this problem.

* The monetary impact of cost-sharing strategies on consumers has spurred a focus on transparency.

The promotion of cost-sharing transparency tools to help members manage expenses continues to rise, from 28% in 2018 to 63% in 2023.

"We are honored to once again sponsor this insightful report, which highlights the importance for plan sponsors to evolve the pharmacy benefit," said Michael Rea, PharmD, Founder and CEO of Rx Savings Solutions (RxSS). "This year, there is a noticeable undercurrent of change in the market. Consumers and patients whose share of prescription drug costs continue to grow are searching for relief and turning to sources both within and outside of the traditional drug benefit. It's a goal all of us in the pharmacy benefit ecosystem to help advance the benefit in ways that produce greater access and affordability, all while controlling spend."

Since the inception of this report, the drug benefit has become more intricate to design and manage. With many new drugs coming to market, decisions around program structure, formulary design, cost sharing, and trend management become increasingly challenging and important. This report helps benefit leaders identify trends and future possibilities so they can adjust as appropriate around these factors and more.

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. /ScoopCloud/ -- 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?
