Understanding Georgian Pharmaceutical LawMelinda_White
According to the document, pharmaceutical law in Georgia covers issues with medications including inadequate testing, insufficient warnings, and poor prescriptions from doctors. The document discusses how deaths from prescription drug overdoses have increased dramatically in Georgia in recent years. It provides an overview of pharmaceutical law and what legal recourse victims may have, including compensatory damages, if they have been harmed by dangerous drugs prescribed negligently in Georgia.
The European Medicines Agency has confirmed that the benefits of using Champix (varenicline) to help people stop smoking still outweigh the risks, despite a recent study finding a slightly higher rate of cardiovascular side effects in those taking the drug. The study found a small increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems for those taking Champix compared to a placebo. However, the Agency's committee determined the limitations of the study meant the results could not draw robust conclusions. Champix remains approved for smoking cessation in the EU and its product information will be updated with more information on cardiovascular risks.
The Justice Department recovered over $4.7 billion in fiscal year 2016 from companies committing health care fraud, the third highest annual amount ever. $2.5 billion came from the health care industry including drug companies, hospitals, and laboratories. The largest recoveries came from drug companies Wyeth and Pfizer for falsely reporting drug prices, and Novartis for providing kickbacks. Hospitals and clinics accounted for $360 million, including $513 million from Tenet Healthcare. Whistleblowers filed 702 lawsuits and were awarded $519 million for their role in exposing fraud.
Florida Workers' Compensation - Court Cases May Drive Up Worker's Compensatio...ntoscano50
Florida workers’ compensation insurance premiums may rise by up to 19.6 percent starting in October 2016, due, in large part, to recent Florida Supreme Court decisions that struck down portions of the state’s workers’ compensation law.
The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) proposed the nearly 20 percent rate jump through requests filed with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (FOIR) on May 27, 2016, and June 30, 2016. If approved, the higher rates will apply to all policies in effect as of Oct. 1, 2016, as well as to all new, renewed and additional policies issued on or after that date. Interested parties will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed increases at a public hearing on Aug. 16, 2016.
Telemedicine: Challenges and OpportunitiesDavid Harlow
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of telemedicine. It outlines different telemedicine modalities like synchronous, asynchronous, remote monitoring and mobile health. It also addresses issues around reimbursement from entities like private insurers, Medicare and Medicaid. Regulatory challenges are discussed, including state medical licensing limits and antitrust concerns. The document provides examples of states that have expanded telemedicine coverage and notes ongoing debates around topics like establishing a physician-patient relationship without an in-person visit.
This letter supports a demonstration grant application from HL Consulting and JH Cohn, LLP to test procedural changes and innovative technology for hospital reimbursements through Medicaid. The goal is to save state and federal budgets. The letter proposes using objective, data-driven procedures for cost report audits and implementing technologies already used for Medicare that have not been applied to Medicaid cost reporting. This could benefit and serve recipients of long-term healthcare programs while reforming healthcare reimbursement regulations.
This chapter discusses health fraud, including definitions of fraud and health care fraud.

EMR interoperability is becoming more important as the adoption of EMRs increases. However, EMR vendors have traditionally used proprietary formats to lock in customers. There are several standards that aim to improve interoperability, including ICD codes for diagnoses, HL7 standards for exchanging medical information, and NCPDP standards for electronic prescription delivery. MedicalRecords.com works to match physicians with suitable EMR systems and aims to better organize the EMR software market.
Healthcare Fraud: Illegal Kickback Schemes in Medicare & Medicaidlawsuitlegal
The amount of medicare and medicaid fraud is staggering.
This Lawsuit Legal data snapshot exposes how healthcare kickback schemes work.
Qui tam bounties for relators can reach outrageous amounts, and it's no wonder when you look at the scale of fraud in healthcare.
The schemes run the gambit from false claims, illegal referrals, false reimbursement claims, patient referrals and purchasing decision fraud. All in the name of defrauding these lucrative government programs.
In this case we look at what the False Claims Act has to say about kickbacks, and what the law states for people who get greedy and try to break the rules.
In addition, we'll briefly touch on what qui tam whistleblowers can do to put a stop to it, if they have knowledge of fraud.
It's always worth keeping in mind the bounties paid out to relators for money recovered in government actions.
Take a look at the illegal kickbacks common in the healthcare industry, who the most common offenders are, and what to look out for here.

The Impact of the AMP Final Rule: Legal, Operational, and Financial Considera...Epstein Becker Green
Part 1 of a webinar series that examines the average manufacturer price (“AMP”) Final Rule and its effect on drug pricing and contracting. Hosted by Epstein Becker Green and EBG Advisors.
The long-awaited issuance of the Final Rule addressing AMP under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program has provided clarity in some respects but left other issues open to interpretation. In the wake of the Final Rule, other regulatory developments are already showing signs of further impacting many of the same issues.
Using the AMP Final Rule as a baseline, we will address the evolution of some of the most significant issues affecting drug pricing and contracting. We hope you can attend one or both of the sessions in this two-part series.
In this session, Constance A. Wilkinson, Member of the Firm at Epstein Becker Green, will address how the AMP final rule can impact your business. This discussion will examine various legal, operational, and financial factors, including the impact on fee-for-service arrangements with customers, value-based pricing, and reimbursement.

Between 2014 and 2016 in England:
- An estimated 57,580 new cancer cases per year were attributed to alcohol consumption, though the rate has fallen recently for men and stabilized for women.
- Over 10,000 road traffic accidents involved at least one driver who failed a breath test, with rates of alcohol-related accidents rising 1.8% after previous declines.
- Local authorities see varying rates of alcohol-related harms, from 3.9 to 59.2 alcohol-related traffic accidents per 1,000 depending on the area.
There is widespread corruption in the system of medical check-ups required for driver's licenses in Ukraine. Nearly 80% of medical certificates are issued without actual medical examinations, and doctors are not held responsible for accidents that occur from drivers with falsified certificates. The document proposes developing an electronic registry of certified medical professionals and certificates to replace the current paper system. This would enable automatic checks of certificates and help eliminate the corruption and bribery that currently allows many unfit drivers to obtain licenses.
This document outlines a proposal to eliminate corruption in the system of medical check-ups required for driver's licenses in Ukraine. It notes that currently 80% of medical certificates are issued without actual checkups, and the process involves bribes. The document proposes developing an electronic registry of licensed medical professionals and certificates, a public portal to verify certificates, and canceling paper certificates in favor of electronic versions integrated with Ukraine's eHealth system. This would introduce accountability, enable auditing to prevent duplicate records, and reduce opportunities for corruption.
This document discusses Canada's experience with electronic health records (EHRs). It notes that while Canada has invested over $1 billion in EHR projects, physician adoption of electronic medical records remains low at under 26%. The challenges of developing EHRs in a system with shared federal/provincial responsibilities and multiple stakeholders are discussed. Lessons learned include the complexity of a federated system, establishing data stewardship roles, engaging medical licensing authorities, and developing trust while balancing privacy and information sharing.
This document summarizes findings from the Local Alcohol Profiles for England report for February 2019. It finds that in 2017/18 there were over 1 million hospital admissions linked to alcohol, with rates increasing each year since 2008/09. While admissions where alcohol was the primary cause remained largely flat, chronic conditions partially caused by alcohol like cardiovascular disease accounted for most alcohol-related admissions. Hospitalization rates were highest in the over 65 age group and most deprived areas.
The document discusses several cases of home health workers stealing the powerful opioid painkiller OxyContin from patients. It provides tips for home health agencies to prevent prescription drug theft among employees and protect patients, such as carefully tracking OxyContin supplies, encouraging employees to report suspicions, and conducting thorough background checks and drug testing. The article warns agencies could face legal and financial consequences if employees steal drugs. Separately, it reports that a government committee has approved 15 recommended changes to reduce the burden of the OASIS assessment tool.

ALLIED MEDICAL WASTE TRANSPORT: VETERINARIAN DIVISION
Kathy West, Vice President of Marketing at Allied Medical Waste Transport of Oklahoma, sat at her desk reading her boss’s request for a strategic marketing plan for the next three years including pro forma income statements for the newly started veterinary division of the company. She had thought about this project off and on for the past couple of months and now faced the daunting task of actually creating the overall strategy and the mix of personal selling and advertising. The home office expected substantial growth from the veterinary operation and Ms. West searched for growth options to meet the desired sales/profit levels.
Background
Medical waste first came to the attention of the general public several years ago when it washed up on New Jersey beaches. Because of the media exposure of this event and others pertaining to undesirable disposal practices as well as fear of AIDS, public hysteria resulted and pressure was put upon regulatory officials to develop comprehensive regulations to prohibit such occurrences. HR3515 (The Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988) was passed requiring the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin an investigation to determine whether federal legislation was necessary. The EPA provided their findings in 1991 that led to federal regulations on medical waste disposal.

Taxation on alcohol and tobacco to solve medical costs
In the recent past, there has been massive health related as well as social issues such as domestic violence and family breaks arising from the use of alcohol and tobacco. To address such problems, the proponents of justice as well as civil rights movements recommend that the parties responsible for causing these problems should be take full accountability as far as solving the problems is concerned. Therefore, the breweries as well as cigarette producing companies have been on the spotlight. If the legislation to increase taxation on their products goes through, they may have nothing to smile about since their revenues will drastically reduce. Indeed an increase in taxes on alcohol as well as tobacco products should be increased in order to cater for the rising medical related costs, the increased health issues, and the social effects of alcohol and tobacco.
The use of alcohol and tobacco has led to major effects on the lives of the users. In most cases, the users are to blame for their use of these drugs. Many companies have played their role in ensuring that their products have been labeled and that they have provided a clear statement that indicated that the use of these drugs are useful to the individual’s health. All users tend to neglect the notices and opt to use these drugs, which later affect their health and social abilities and responsibilities. Despite their neglect to the notices provided by the companies, the government may play a role in reducing the influence and effects of the use of these drugs. For example, the government may raise the taxation of these drugs and use the extra funds in funding health programs to assist the affected individuals. Further, the government may further create health programs that sensitize individuals about the use of these drugs and the negative impact that the drugs may cause to their health. In addition, the government may provide laws and regulations that govern the production, sales and consumption of these drugs, the tobacco and alcohol.
