In this inaugural edition of MM’s Health Law Update, our contributors discuss the preservation of treatment-related text messages; the reporting of medical malpractice payments; certification for medical marijuana use; and a proposed settlement in a case involving an overcharge for production of medical records. This edition also highlights MM’s newest team member, Mary Beth Ogulewicz, JD, MSW, who brings her interdisciplinary approach to provide a broad array of services to long-term care facilities.
