Exactly!
But you still have not answered the question. I'm not asking about others companies let stick with dewm.
Let me give you some reasons why I think the numbers will match the 8k.
Hwrc
No toxic financing
No dilution
Now we both know they have not been released, can someone give a reason as to why they're going to be bad?
Dewm
Based on what? why do you think they're going to be bad?
Dewm
In no way am I excusing the reason why they have not been released, there is clearly a reason why. Besides the reason they have not been released what is your reason as to why they have to be bad?

Dewm
I don't know why the fins have not been released? So the only conclusion as to why they have not been released is that they're going to be bad?
If that's the case if I was Marco and wanted to screw shareholders I would have diluted shares 2years ago and why waste time with paying off the toxic financing?
Dewm
Nice DD Pige!
Dewm!
Not until we get the fins...
Dewm!
Oh and shout out to mad! he said we would receive updates this week another score for the bull longs! for those keeping score!
Dewm!
Well I guess since we don't have the fins your projections is just an estimate. I said the brownies were going to be posted on walmart.com and see what happened. Score another one for the bull longs for those keeping score!
Dewm!

Payers, telehealth vendors getting value out of partnerships
By Meg Bryant June 23, 2016
Health insurers are increasingly looking to telemedicine to ease provider shortages, expand access to care, increase patient satisfaction and lower costs. With advances in data sharing, payers and telehealth companies are also making strides in managing patient populations to improve outcomes.
Teladoc, the nation’s largest telehealth provider, is currently working with 28 health plans, including Aetna, Oscar and Blue Shield of California. Others, like RelayHealth and Cirrus MD, are also partnering with insurers.
Sharing gaps-in-care data identified through claims data with telehealth providers can help to improve health and outcomes, says Nirmal Patel, CMO at Teladoc, the nation’s largest telemedicine provider. The Dallas-based firm has invested in technology to ensure flow of information between its virtual providers and a patient’s physical doctors and health plan.
Today, 48 states and the District of Columbia provide some form of Medicaid payment for telehealth services, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Thirty-two states and D.C. offer some kind of private insurance policy.
In addition, 29 states and D.C. have telemedicine parity laws for private payers, 22 of which earned a Grade A, indicating no provider or technology restrictions, a recent report by the American Telemedicine Association shows. Connecticut and Rhode Island ranked the lowest with failing grades in Medicaid parity and restrictions to private payer telehealth services.
The types of telehealth providers being covered by Medicaid is also expanding, with 17 states and D.C. not limiting payment to certain types of providers, the report notes. Still, 20 states authorize less than nine provider types, and Florida, Idaho, and Montana cover only physicians.
Aetna began offering Teladoc in 2011 as a pilot to fully insured members in Florida and Texas, expanding the following year to self-funded plan sponsors, seven of which implemented the program, says Aetna spokeswoman Sherry Sanderford. Today, more than 700 self-funded plan sponsors have implemented Teladoc, providing access to more than 6 million fully insured and self-insured members.
Sanderford says the company continues to explore ways to expand coverage of telemedicine services. In 2012, for example, Aetna revised its payment policy to allow reimbursement for certain telemedicine codes within specific contracts such as accountable care arrangements, Level III NCQA Recognized Patient Centered Medical Home physicians and where state regulations apply.
“This policy change allowed doctors to be more accessible, offering ‘virtual’ care after hours and accentuating the patient-centered nature of high-quality care,” Sanderford says. Aetna is currently working with Teladoc to add behavioral health services.
Cigna began offering reimbursable “virtual house calls” in 2007 via RelayHealth, which offers consultations using an online, structured interview format to routine, nonurgent health concerns to an individual’s plan-contracted physician, says Robert Wijnhoven, marketing product manager for telemedicine at Cigna. More recently, the payer paired with MDLive to provide year-round, 24/7 online video and telephone consultations with board-certified internal medicine, family practice and pediatric physicians.
Both models are available through Cigna’s employer-sponsored administrative services only health plans, which comprise about 80% of Cigna’s health plans.
“From a dollars and cents perspective, our telemedicine partners provide a lower-cost alternative to traditional forms of care,” Wijnhoven says. “The weighted average cost savings for a customer choosing telemedicine over other care approaches (office visit, urgent care, ER for nonemergency situations) is $124 per episode of care,” he wrote in an email. “When the productivity value is factored in (e.g. savings from not losing time making the appointment, driving, filling out forms and waiting to see the doctor), the total average benefit of choosing telemedicine is $164.”
Partnering with telehealth companies also aids in population health management by improving care quality, access, affordability and continuity, says Wijnhoven.
Cigna teams with telehealth vendors that either contract with the payer’s nationwide network of board-certified physicians or use their own, ensuring evidence-based best practice. And by letting patients share their virtual results with their primary care physician, the collaboration enhances continuity of care and outcomes, Wijnhoven says.
Andrew Altorfer, CEO of CirrusMD agrees. The Denver-based telehealth firm has partnered with Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) to provide access board-certified physicians 365 days a year, helping to avoid unnecessary emergency care trips. Using the HIPAA-compliant MyDigitalMD platform, patients can schedule video visits and text message with providers via smartphone, tablet or computer. The platform also allows for image sharing.
In addition to commercially insured patients, the arrangement covers about 140,000 Medicaid patients in 22 rural counties in Colorado.
The program provides full continuity of care for the Medicaid population, says Altorfer. When one of the doctors staffing the virtual service has a patient encounter, a recap of that encounter is routed into an EMR and also funneled via a health information exchange to the patient’s primary care provider and care manager,” he tells Healthcare Dive.
The service has been a win-win for the firm and RMHP. Roughly 13% of total visits were diverted from the ER, 30% from urgent care and 32% from a primary care office visit, resulting in a $435 savings per encounter. Just 2% of patients went to the ER and 2% to urgent care following a virtual visit.
Moreover, 85% of encounters were handled via text messaging, an approach that Altorfer says is particularly useful in a Medicaid population. “Messaging is very unique, in thinking about managing a population, because it’s a continuous pathway of access,” he explains
By promoting a messaging-first workflow, patients can continue to engage with providers to manage their health over a period of time, be it minutes, hours or a few days, Altorfer adds. “We’ve actually seen encounters play out over the course of a week where someone’s traveling and one of our physicians is helping them manage” a condition.

The Consortium, as well as myself personally, has engaged in a financial investment in CirrusMD, a telemedicine technology that offers patients the ability to securely text message, share images and video chat with doctors over smartphones, tablets and computers. A person can schedule a video appointment anytime, anywhere, or instantly strike up a conversation via text.
I wonder if this is what the funds were used for?

Btw, has anyone tried to buy lean from the website? The page is blank.....
Dewm!
Per the information from the webcast all attendees pitching items would be placed on walmart.com with some restrictions depending on the product. So if Marco was there depending on what he is pitching he has the green light to post the product.
Dewm
Thanks, glad walmart had a live webcast for the event today!
Dewm!
Hey DLR, can you please enlarge the made in America symbol on the wrapper. I can't wait to see these on walmart.com
Dewm
You can't say it's the past if he has not sold or is not selling as to date, those are facts that have happened and currently happening. I can't say that he will not do a r/s, just as i can't say that he will. But based on the current position the company is in, by not diluting shares or toxic financing tells me that he is making money for the company.
I get that everyone is frustrated, but if Marco wanted to screw us he could have a long time ago. Why has he not diluted in 2yrs? the company has 0 toxic debt. I'm not defending his actions, I'm just saying....... You have only lost if you have sold.
Not sure why they are selling lean?

Has anyone figured out who is lean 180? They're selling lean on Amazon and a couple of other websites.

Sorry I call BS. If I don't stand for or believe in something money is not the point. I'm not going to support it period, it can't go both ways, that's why your post have no credibility about Moran..

So if i'm correct investors shouldn't buy or sell in order to make the ceo accountable just continue to hold and bitch on a message board everyday hoping that he reads it? or do u have any recommendations on how to hold the ceo accountable because it doesn't look like this approach is working? If the company is doomed what since does it make to hold? unless deep down u still believe?

Yes i think he will deliver also, but this has been a rough ride to say the least. As long as he does not dilute I will continue to believe and support.
GLTA
Dewm!
Yes i understand that but if he was just b.s. everyone why not dilute? That's what i don't understand.. It clearly shows he doesn't need the shareholders money to run the company...
Dewm...
So what made him release the 8k in the first place?
Dewm.
Mods can someone please sticky today's news.
TIA
Dewm!
