Product Description
Product Description

Taking an interdisciplinary, industry-based approach, MCLE's Massachusetts Health and Hospital Law Manual presents the many business and legal issues facing health care providers, payors, and other participants in the health care industry, along with the regulators overseeing them. This comprehensive manual focuses on health care delivery in its legal, business, regulatory, advocacy and personal aspects. Practice pointers and hypotheticals provide concrete guidance as you navigate the federalization, consolidation, bureaucratization, and increasing regulation of this dynamic area of practice.

- Update: October 2023
  Dear Subscriber:
  
  Thank you for choosing to stay current in the area of health and hospital law with this 2023 revised edition of the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Law Manual. Inside you will find new material on such topics as the following:
  - Antitrust. See chapter 5 for information as to the Department of Justice's withdrawal of support, on February 2, 2023, for the DOJ/FTC Antitrust Enforcement Policy Statements in the Health Care Area that had permitted certain "safety zones" of information sharing and payor contracting collaboration between competing health-care providers.
  - Fraud. See chapter 8 for recent case decisions and other information regarding criminal neglect, the protection of elderly patients, home health care, mental health investigations, and opioid-related violations.
  - EMTALA Post-Dobbs. See chapter 12 for a detailed discussion of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's issuance of the landmark decision on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022), along with cites to 2023 case decisions.
  - Telehealth. See chapter 13 for discussion regarding physicians' practices in prescribing controlled medications, and the DEA's proposed rule.
  We at MCLE trust that you will find this revised edition useful in your practice and valuable in keeping your law library up to date.
  
  Cordially,
