Gary I have tried calling you and no return calls so I will post again on

the open forum,

What is happening with this open claims program?

Is it dead in the water?

It seems like if this was going anywhere you would of posted something

to let everyone know to stay tuned.

You are the first to let everyone know about the latest partnerships

that IGA has established which by the way does not help this TPA

problem we all have.

If you are still alive can you please give us an update.

Thanks Gary

I tried to call IGA several times in the last few weeks to discuss this and other things that could be very beneficial to my business. No answer, left messages, no returned calls.

I am very annoyed with the this membership.

I have been in the glass business for 20years and last year decided

to contribute to the IGA thinking they could do something with this

TPA Bull S--t that continues to get worse.

Gary Hart blows a bunch of smoke as far as I am concerned.

When I have talked to him he talks million miles an hour and

says really nothing. He could make a lot more $$$ out a carwash

selling chip repairs. As you can see I have been posting now 4 different

times trying to get some up to date info on this open claims program

that he said was going to be a game changer for the Indies.

Well Gary do you have anything to say.

You surly will never see me renew this year.

and how many others will not renew their membership.

We do not need more lip service in this world there is enough of that

already.

Looks like Gary may be a goner. So many want this organization to do big things for them, you have to be willing to help yourself and not rely upon others to do your work. Quit being lazy and do the work yourself. contact the American Arbitration Association and push them to get more states involved with claims resolution and get off the networks. YOU CANNOT HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. Be responsible for your self and quit relying on others enough said.

I am in the office Monday through Friday, from 8:30am (eastern) until 3pm (eastern) Mon-Wed-Friday and 7:30am (pacific) until 4:30pm (pacific) Tuesday and Thursday.

May I ask what extension you are dialing? My direct extension is 508.

As for the Open Claims Program, it is still on track to launch in Q1 of this year. ACD, who is working with their insurance partners on integrating their glass programs, is finishing their integration (electronic assignment/authorization/etc.) with the Open Claims Program platform.

Once the insurance companies are satisfied that the technology works and signs off on it, the program will launch. There are a lot of moving parts to this, especially since shops will be able to electronically report claims without having to call the insurance company. This means direct access to currently policy conditions, limits, etc.

Is this satisfactory enough or can I provide any other detail?

An innovative program such as this doesn't occur overnight. At the press conference at AGW 2014 when this was announced, they said it would be rolled out the first quarter of 2015. Last I heard it was still on schedule and had several insurance companies that have already signed up. Even if its release were to get pushed back a bit, it would be "better late than never" right?

Hey Gary I found this old post, is it still alive?

And if it is when are you going to launch?

Just Askin!

He sure has been laying low.

Gary is some where flying a rainbow flag!
