Bio-Electronics and Mazree Spring Cleaning
Mazree, in collaboration with Bio-Electronics, is thrilled to bring you an incredible opportunity with our Spring Cleaning initiative in Nebraska. This isn't just about decluttering your facility of surplus and unused medical equipment – it's a chance to effortlessly boost your facility's budget. You simply identify the surplus equipment in your facility, and that's almost all you have to do. Mazree takes over from there – we'll pick up the equipment and handle the sale. The best part? You receive a check for these assets. It’s like getting paid for something you no longer need or use!

Plan to get $1 billion boost in federal support for Nebraska hospitals advances
LINCOLN — Nebraska could get more than $1 billion of federal money to boost Medicaid rates for hospitals and other health care providers under a bill that won easy first-round approval in the Legislature Thursday. The only controversy about Legislative Bill 1087, the Hospital Quality Assurance and Access Assessment Act, was whether to put a sunset date on the program. State Sen. Mike Jacobson of North Platte, who introduced the bill, said Gov. Jim Pillen had insisted that the program expire on Dec. 31, 2026. Such expiration dates are often used to force lawmakers to review programs and decide whether they are worth keeping.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"Our experience with Lutz has always been positive, professional, and timely. The consulting advice has been beneficial to our organization".
The quality of people in the IT world that would just work as your employee is limited in these rural areas. Five Nines fills that gap for us. I really feel like this collaboration is a real partnership. This is long term, we look at the big picture rather than those little pieces.
UNANIMOUS understands strategy. When it was time to address our outdated mission and vision we wanted a firm to facilitate our process for updating it. They understood the connection between branding and strategy. Their facilitation included robust imput from senior leaders as well as community leaders, staff and patients. It felt like they understood exactly what we were needing and how to help us get it done.
Bryan Health Connect's partnership with NHA Services Preferred Business Partner Bellevue University is a great addition to the services offered to our membership. The tuition assistance, quality programs and flexible learning options benefit our members who want to pursue a graduate degree for career advancement and expertise, and their family members who may be pursuing undergraduate degrees to begin their career path.
Paymerang has been great to work with. We upload our payments once a week and send a wire to cover them and Paymerang takes care of the rest. Several of our vendors have switched over to ACH payment or Credit Card payment and are receiving their payments much quicker, which they like. Our client rep keeps in contact with us to make sure everything is going well, so they are very hands on. We couldn’t ask for better service.
