Health information privacy information privacy & breach : a 50 state survey by
AHLA has done a deep dive into the areas of privacy and data breach to create Health Information Privacy & Breach: A 50 State Survey. The variable laws of all 50 states plus the District of Columbia are examined.

They need to consult a resource such as this new title to ensure all obligations are met under both federal and state law with regard to the digital information they maintain for patients and consumers. Whether responding to a possible data breach or putting policies in place related to health record privacy and security, Health Information Privacy & Breach: A 50 State Survey will help to ensure that nothing falls between the cracks when dealing with this type of digital data.

Legal Issues in Healthcare Fraud and Abuse by
Since the Fifth Edition of Legal Issues in Health Care Fraud and Abuse was published in 2020, the government has continued to provide further regulation and guidance in the fraud and abuse context, while also continuing to actively enforce health care fraud and abuse laws.
This resource has been updated to include information on those recent activities:
Federal agencies have continued to aggressively pursue both individuals and entities for potential violations of fraud and abuse laws, including in connection with COVID-19.
The DOJ has been active in pursuing health care providers and life sciences manufacturers for violations of the civil False Claims Act in cases involving a wide variety of conduct.
Whistleblowers have been active in bringing cases and, increasingly, pursuing those in which the government declines to intervene.
The Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS-OIG) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized additions and revisions to regulations under the Anti-Kickback Statute and Physician Self-Referral Law (also known as the Stark Law).
The HHS-OIG issued two Special Fraud Alerts, expressing skepticism regarding in-person "speaker programs," and warning health care practitioners of the risks of entering into arrangements with "purported telemedicine companies."
The HHS-OIG issued numerous advisory opinions to a range of entities, including hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, device manufacturers, and others.
And much more
These changes and their anticipated impacts are examined in the 2023 Cumulative Supplement to Legal Issues in Health Care Fraud and Abuse, a foundational resource now updated to address recent shifts in the government's approach to regulation and enforcement of health care fraud and abuse.
