AGG Food & Drug chair Alan Minsk was quoted in a Law360 article regarding FDA's new draft guidance on how companies can respond to drug misinformation online. Alan shared that it is also clear that FDA wants to ensure that responses to misinformation don’t turn into advertising. "If you think it's an error, correct it, but this is not an opportunity to start thinking, 'While I've got you, let me tell you how wonderful it is,'" Alan said. "Don't turn it into a promotional opportunity. Fix it and move on." Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eQm9x3WJ

In a recent article about the state of palliative care licensing rules, Hospice News spotlighted an episode of AGG Talks: Home Health & Hospice podcast titled “Understanding Palliative Care: Strategies for Compliance and Reimbursement.” In this episode, AGG Healthcare attorneys Jason E. Bring and Charmaine Mech Aguirre discuss the critical distinctions between hospice and palliative care, examine emerging care models, and provide practical guidance for providers navigating the complex regulatory and reimbursement landscape. “The biggest question is going to be is it provided under a hospice license or under a separate model, and are there any other licensure requirements that might apply to that,” said Charmaine in the podcast episode. “When we think about the licensure, the big question is going to be is it under hospice, or is it under a group practice model or some other model, and that varies widely. That influences corporate structuring and how you want to fit that into your model.” Learn more about the state of palliative care: https://lnkd.in/ee5WKE33
