Health Law & Managed Care

Healthcare is an area of law that is constantly evolving, with the Affordable Care Act provisions still rippling through the industry, and privacy and data protection concerns requiring constant vigilance, the National Law Review covers the latest developments in the Health Care Industry. The National Law Review offers analysis of news coming out of Congress related to health care legislation, as well as covering state and local laws related to health care.

Readers will also find an extensive list of cases, news, and up-to-date information on various topics in the healthcare and managed care sector. Litigation, regulatory actions being taken against doctors or pharmacies, mediation and arbitration, and coverage of the latest in drug pricing, the opioid epidemic,  employer-healthcare coverage options, and legal news about health and hospital systems and physician groups.

The National Law Review covers news related to Medicare and Medicaid, to CMS funding, changes to IPAs, PHO, HMO, MSO, and other entities. Readers will find information related to managed care, assisted living facilities, at-home care, and news/legislation from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the Office of the Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). Additionally, regulations and updates released by the FDA are covered, as well as changing state and federal regulations related to telehealth and telemedicine are also on the site. 

Cybersecurity in health care and compliance with HIPAA are major concerns for the industry.  Additionally, Ransomware developments and other data security breaches have required a greater emphasis on safeguarding patient-records and information. More compliance and restrictions are in place for doctors/hospitals sharing patient records, HIPPA regulations have become more stringent, and e-health records, have seen a number of changes in how hospitals and doctors’ offices, deal with patient-record management internally. The National Law Review offers expert legal analysis on changing regulations related to healthcare.
