In our most recent #FMG blog, we discuss the Illinois Appellate Court ruling over whether a phone call between an Illinois physician and two out-of-state doctors could establish personal jurisdiction over the nonresident physicians. This case offers valuable insight into how cross-state medical advice given via phone can impact jurisdiction.

Navigating Certificate of Need (CON) laws can be a significant challenge for healthcare providers. These regulations, intended to manage costs and resource allocation, are often the center of heated debate. Now, one physician in North Carolina is taking a bold stand to challenge the effectiveness of these laws—an action that could have far-reaching implications for states nationwide. #HealthcareRegulation #CertificateOfNeed #CONLaws #HealthcarePolicy #CostManagement #HealthcareInnovation

Part 15: Monmouth Medical Center Response Patients and caregivers have the right to a clear explanation of their treatment and care providers, as outlined in the patient bill of rights for general hospitals. Seeking this information is crucial when discrepancies arise. Despite expectations for a thorough grievance process following delays and errors, the response received once again pointed to the wrong patient due to a transfer date error. #MonmouthMedicalCenter #PatientRights #Healthcare #GrievanceProcess also the Md code referenced doesn’t apply and this is in reference to the YouTube video with dr rehim where I was given explicit permission to record. I am a gentleman though and have asked how to comply what they wanted me to remove and when I will be receiving my medical explanation from a physician. They returned by following a report anyway. After a 2.5 hour drive to long branch nj . I was able to clarify and file a report of my own. The police report filed was a joke and not by the attorneys.. ok case closed now again please explain the care provided as there is no limitation on this request . (You would think) Your medical records, treatment and care plans are not “internal investigations” know your rights. Also (recording sounds like explicit permission to me, not that it matters due to this being part of a criminal investigation against the hospitals :shrug: ) https://lnkd.in/eaTa4az6 Food for thought. Law firms are great at filibustering, 2 year statue of limitations in filing medical malpractice complaints to the board of physicians . That 2 years is comming up, in order to file a complaint you need to produce the evidence. This law firm seems to just be attacking first amendment rights too. With a Maryland threat. Resting on the assumption I never leave Maryland . (Tort wouldn’t apply if the phone call wasn’t in Maryland ) especially if filed in long branch nj as they do not enforce Maryland code or law. What does it take to file a “false police” report in America? (Long branch wasn’t able to answer)

Self induced shortages - This is correct for states and for CMS designs. It is always states that shape or tolerate the worst health insurance plans that have deficits of health care workforce, usually half enough of each basic over 35 - 55% of its population. This is set in concrete where the elderly, poor, disabled, and worst employers are concentrated. This assures that weak private insurance is incapable of overcoming the disastrous public plans that only cover 65 - 85% of costs of delivery. These 2621 counties most behind across the nation are usually where Americans are found trying to avoid the high cost of living and housing. And many were put in this position by US health insurance failure, the worst among developed nations that fails at the critical junctures of life. Fixed income, debt, chronic illness, poor, lower income, disabled, mentally ill,

Why is it that in 2024 dental care is not considered healthcare. Think about how “the forces” have carved out oral care, mental health care, ear care, and eye care whereby people don’t have adequate coverage. And why is this? Follow the money. And our federal legislation is just now trying to change this? And the best goes on with our broken healthcare system and how and why it keeps people sick.

Restrictive covenant agreements, also known as “non-competes,” typically preclude doctors from soliciting patients of a practice when they leave that medical group and often also preclude them from working within a geographic radius of a medical group’s offices or a hospital where the doctor previously had privileges. In New Jersey, the enforceability of non-competes is decided on a case-by-case basis and is governed by common law principles rather than a statute. However, there is legislation pending in New Jersey that could drastically alter the landscape concerning restrictive covenants but Bill A3715 has been pending since May 2022 and may never come to fruition.   In his latest blog, Mandelbaum Barrett PC Healthcare Litigation Co-Chair Steven Adler, Esq. explains the rationale behind non-competes and why in his opinion pending legislation should offer some protection to physicians.   #HealthcareLitigation #Physicians #HealthcarePractioners #RestrictiveCovenants #NonCompete #EmploymentLaw
