Houston, March 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. announces Lubbock TX affiliate location under its new affiliate expansion program.
HOUSTON, March 20, 2017 -- Spine Injury Solutions, Inc., Inc. (OTCQB:SPIN), a technology-driven, medical service, and healthcare solution company servicing the multi-billion dollar spine injury sector, today announced the addition of a new affiliate program to be located in Lubbock, TX.
Seven years ago, SPIN initiated its first affiliate program in Houston TX whereby SPIN would provide funding assistance to independent healthcare providers who provide diagnostic and treatment procedures for patients with spine injury accidents. In many cases the reimbursements for these medical treatments took several years, depending on the settlement timing of the case. For these reasons, SPIN developed programs to fund the affilates case billings after the procedure is completed at a discount and assume risk of future collection. During these seven years, while averaging three affiliates, over 8,300 procedures have been funded generating some $25 million in reported net revenues for SPIN. Actual cash collections to date from SPIN funded cases have exceeded $16 million.
Why SPIN Is Now Expanding Its Affiliate Program Nationally
In early 2014, SPIN began beta testing of a unique video transparency and documenting device called Quad Video HALO™ (QVH). In 2015 it received its US Patent on the QVH and began Medical Safety Certification Testing. In 2016, 3rd Party Testing was successfully completed and the QVH became certified for Medical use in both the US and EU. Since adding the QVH to its affiliate program, almost 2,500 cases have been funded. Included in the new affiliate Program is training based on SPIN’s business model. In many cases, there is minimal cash outlay to the independent healthcare providers other than a monthly cloud storage for all procedures involving the QVH. The independent healthcare provider may offer SPIN the option to fund all cases which used the QVH. SPIN has been advised by some attorneys that the use of the QVH helps expedite the settlement of the case.
William F. Donovan, M.D., Chairman CEO of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc., said, “Costs associated with accident victims total in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Much of this cost is attributable to delayed or improper early diagnosis of the injury causing unnecessary, long term problems and costs. With over 40 years’ experience as a Board Certified Orthopedic surgeon, I have evaluated many cases that would not have required unnecessary treatments if early diagnosis would have been made. I came to the conclusion that lack of proper ‘tools’ rather than medical incompetency was the cause in the delay for patients to receive appropriate, necessary, and reasonable treatment. This led to the development of the SPIN affiliate program with its appropriate protocols and most importantly, the QVH.”
.Having been one of the first surgeons in the country to use video in arthroscopic surgery, I felt there was a need to provide video documentation for accident victim procedures. For this reason, SPIN has invested some $2.5 million in developing and putting into service its proprietary QVH v.3. To date the QVH has been used on some 2,500 cases providing transparency for procedures performed.
