About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

LifeWallet Announces Consolidation of All Lines of Business Under the MSP Recovery Brand, While Advancing Initiatives That Align With the Newly Formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

MIAMI, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSP Recovery, Inc. d/b/a LifeWallet (NASDAQ: LIFW) (“LifeWallet,” or the “Company”), a Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and secondary payer reimbursement recovery and technology leader, today announced the consolidation of all its products, services, and lines of business under a unified company brand: MSP Recovery. The return to its original name reflects the Company’s commitment to the expansion of its core business, innovating technological solutions to achieve secondary payer reimbursement recoveries. 

In connection therewith, the Company’s common stock will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MSPR” on December 9, 2024. This ticker symbol will replace the Company’s current ticker symbol for its common stock, “LIFW.” Additionally, the Company’s publicly traded warrants to purchase common stock will begin trading under the ticker symbols “MSPRW” and “MSPRZ.” These ticker symbols will replace the Company’s current ticker symbols for its publicly traded warrants, “LIFWW” and “LIFWZ,” respectively.

The return to the MSP Recovery name highlights the Company’s dedication to its roots while embracing future opportunities for growth. By leveraging its extensive expertise in Medicare Secondary Payer reimbursement recovery and advanced proprietary technology, MSP Recovery remains at the forefront of driving efficiency, creating solutions, and optimizing outcomes for the healthcare and legal industries.

MSP Recovery Founder and CEO John H. Ruiz said, “MSP Recovery has always been synonymous with our commitment to innovation, integrity, and excellence in the healthcare reimbursement recovery space.” He continued, "This change underscores our expanding core business operations and commitment to combating systemic Medicare waste, affecting the nation’s healthcare system and patient care. Our decade-long efforts to reduce healthcare costs and improve efficiency aligns with initiatives of President-elect Donald Trump’s newly formed advisory committee, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).”

MSP Recovery is dedicated to discovering and recovering substantial improper payments within the Medicare and Medicaid systems, particularly focusing on the Medicare Advantage program. These improper payments often result from communication failures among stakeholders, leading to Medicare erroneously covering accident-related injuries and failing to recuperate those funds.

  • Litigation to Recover Improper Payments: As previously announced the Company has agreed to five settlements against property and casualty insurers, in aggregate totaling more than $10 million dollars to settle historical claims of improper payments, as well as obtain data to pursue claims for additional improper payments and establish a clearinghouse to efficiently settle future claims with certain P&C Insurers. 
  • Additional Claims Acquisition: As previously announced, the Company paid approximately $2 million dollars to acquire additional Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) claims with an overall Paid Amount1 exceeding $10.6 billion, encompassing more than 450,000 Medicare members. This claims acquisition enhances the Company's ability to identify and recover improper payments.2
  • Technological Advancements: As previously announced, the Company developed the LifeWallet/Palantir clearinghouse that connects P&C Insurers to health plans, allowing for elimination of waste from improper payments made for accident-related injuries.

________________________

1 “Paid Amount” (a/k/a Medicare Paid Rate or wholesale price) means the amount paid to the provider from the health plan or insurer. This amount varies based on the party making payment. For example, Medicare typically pays a lower fee for service rate than commercial insurers. The Paid Amount is derived from the Claims data we receive from our Assignors. In the limited instances where the data received lacks a paid value, our team calculates the Paid Amount with a formula. The formula used provides rates for outpatient services and is derived from the customary rate at the 95th percentile as it appears from standard industry commercial rates or, where that data is unavailable, the Billed Amount if present in the data. These amounts are then adjusted to account for the customary Medicare adjustment to arrive at the calculated Paid Amount. Management believes that this formula provides a conservative estimate for the Medicare paid amount rate, based on industry studies which show the range of differences between private insurers and Medicare rates for outpatient services. We periodically update this formula to enhance the calculated paid amount where that information is not provided in the data received from our Assignors. Management believes this measure provides a useful baseline for potential recoveries, but it is not a measure of the total amount that may be recovered in respect of potentially recoverable Claims, which in turn may be influenced by any applicable potential statutory recoveries such as double damages or fines. Where we have to extrapolate a Paid Amount to establish damages, the calculated amount may be contested by opposing parties. The figures pertaining to Medicare Member Lives as well as the paid amount were tabulated based on the data provided by health care plans; these figures may be subject to adjustment upon further investigation of the paid amounts reflected by the health plans.
