The two final episodes on this season of The Tidbit are focusing on goal setting and the future of your business using your unique positioning. On today's episode, we explore how to position your business in a B2B (business-to-business) context —specifically with institutional buyers. We address sustainability in the workplace, specifically when it comes to food systems and health, and overall core values that determine the “why” behind what institutions may want to buy. Kim talks to Sara Hoverter, a senior fellow, attorney and adjunct professor at Georgetown Law specializing in health and food policy, and Kai Abelkis, sustainability manager at University of Maryland Medical Center.

People often think that HIPAA is there to help prevent people from finding out about their personal information.  In actuality, the law actually focuses on the "portability" and "accountability" of such data, and where and how it can be shared.  In casual lingo, people often joke around, "oh that's HIPAA" or "that's a HIPAA violation," and even medical offices sometimes refuse to send records without a signed release (which isn't required by HIPAA when it is going to another treating provider).

But of course, HIPAA Is one aspect.  Did you know by law you have a right to NOT have your treatment information sent to your insurance company?  Did you know that you can access your entire medical record?  Did you know hospitals are required by law to show their prices transparently, but as for now, many hospitals are still not compliant?

In this engaging conversation with Dr. Phil Eskew (direct primary care doctor, lawyer and businessman), we will explore some of these key legal issues that impact the world of health care so that as a consumer, you are more informed of what that looks like and means.

Care Home Management is the UK's leading media brand for care home providers and managers.

Professor Katie Pratt is Loyola Law School’s Sayre Macneil Fellow. She is an expert in income taxation and tax policy, and the co-author of a popular textbook on income tax. She writes on the intersection of tax law and population health, tax expenditures and federal budget issues, with the goal of improving policy. Focusing on what she calls “scholarship with a heart,” Pratt explores the consequences of tax policies on health issues affecting wide swaths of the population. Her work is uniquely interdisciplinary: a member of the American Public Health Association as well as the National Tax Association, she studies and writes about the use of taxes on soda and junk food to control obesity, as well as the tax treatment of medical expenses for gender reassignment and fertility treatments.   

Our student quote is read by Alex Pettingell from New York, NY and is by Martin D. Ginsburg. The quote is from testimony Ginsburg offered to the Senate Finance Committee noting that the now-repealed § 341 contained a single sentence longer than the entire Gettysburg Address.

Brouse McDowell health care attorneys Laura Fryan and Joe Bucaro provide an update on two pressing Ohio health law issues. Laura and Joe first discuss recent changes to Ohio regulations on physician assistants which relax requirements on supervision. They then discuss a price transparency statute which was passed in Ohio in 2015, but was recently ruled to be unconstitutional and unenforceable. If you want to learn more or have questions, feel free to reach out to Laura or Joe. Their contact information can be found at www.brouse.com.

The Issue.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a final rule that sets a new direction for the Medicare Shared Savings Program, including wholesale changes to the “track” model previously used for accountable care organizations.

Why It’s Important.
The final rule dramatically changes the current ACO framework, and providers who participate must understand the differences from the previous rule. Increased risk has been added to the program, meaning providers should ensure they are fully informed of the program’s new structure.

Dan Mulholland and Henry Casale, senior partners at Horty Springer and Mattern, discuss the implications of the changes in tax laws that will impose excise tax on excess compensation paid by exempt organizations.The so-called Triple Ex Provision.
