Jason Beans, CEO and Founder of Rising Medical Solutions, joins the short list of finalists in the category of "Health Insurance Advocates." Nine other finalists in that category made the cut, including professionals from Wellpoint, Tufts Health Plan, Network Health Plan, Bureau of TennCare and Children's Mercy Family Health Partners. Finalists in the other award categories include professionals from Marriott Corporation, Kaiser Permanente, Cleveland Clinic and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

"We are all impressed with the caliber of entries submitted and proud of the contributions each professional is making to ensure consumers of healthcare have access to safe, quality and cost-effective care regardless of the setting," says Anne Llewellyn, Editor-in-Chief of Dorland Health, a sponsor of the awards.  

Beans is being honored for developing the industry's first Medicare Set Aside (MSA) Patient Portal -- a web application that empowers the patient. The innovation gives patients a set of online tools that actively help them manage their MSA money per Medicare's mandates. As opposed to the industry's traditional three-ring binder approach to a patient's Medicare compliance, the MSA Patient Portal provides patients with compliance support, decision-making power and enhanced protection.

"We are always pushing to achieve greater efficiencies, improved healthcare processes and optimal medical outcomes," says Jason Beans, CEO of Rising. "The 'Patient Advocate Awards' recognition is truly an honor that speaks to our team at Rising. A team that's committed to building solutions that benefit everyone involved in the healthcare system – the patient, the provider and the payer."

Finalists will be recognized and the winners will be announced at an Awards Luncheon held in conjunction to the 2011 Patient Advocate Conference, Monday, December 5 at the Gaylord Palms, Orlando, FL.
