Was honored to write this article for the American Health Law Association's AHLA Weekly. The article explores the Supreme Court's recent decision in SEC v. Jarkesy, and ponders how that decision might affect Medicare appeals. From the article: Specifically, Medicare actions seeking the imposition of civil monetary penalties as well as other administrative sanctions such as revocation of billing privileges and program exclusion for alleged wrongdoing would likely be considered punitive in nature and, therefore, would have to be brought in an Article III court pursuant to the Seventh Amendment. On the other hand, Medicare overpayment appeals, which are also subject to the administrative appeal process, might be subject to different treatment as these could be viewed as remedial in nature; the purpose being to compensate Medicare for the alleged overpayment rather than to punish or deter future misconduct. At this early juncture, it is uncertain what federal courts will say about this issue, and whether the Supreme Court will ultimately be asked to weigh in. In the meantime, in order to test and preserve the issue, attorneys handling Medicare administrative appeals should strongly consider raising a constitutional challenge to the administrative appeal process, citing the Seventh Amendment and Jarkesy in support. #healthcare #medicare

Here is the latest in our series where we are busting some myths that some people have about Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney: Myth: "I'm in good health, so I don't need a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)." Busted: While it's true that LPAs are often associated with elderly individuals or those with health issues, accidents and unexpected circumstances can happen to anyone.  Creating an LPA allows you to choose someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so, regardless of your current health status. #PrestigeLegalServices #MythBusting #LPA
