Will
you be ready when regulators come knocking on the doors of your healthcare
organization?
Healthcare compliance is complex. The risks of failing to adhere
to applicable regulations or provide effective services can be severe and reduce
reimbursements. Information about penalties is publicly
available, which can affect your institution’s reputation and long-term
viability.
If you are a healthcare provider and are concerned about
the effectiveness of your compliance programs, contact Asterion’s experienced
consultants for assistance.
Class
actions aren’t just for shareholders.
Any industry can be vulnerable to a class action. Customers of
beauty retailer Ulta have
filed a class action alleging the company resells used beauty products.
Employees of a popular Philadelphia
restaurant have filed a tip-skimming class action. Coffee farmers on the Big Island are suing
major retailers, claiming coffee from other sources has been mislabeled as Kona
coffee.
You’ll find Asterion’s experience in class action
matters invaluable whether you are representing plaintiffs or defendants.
FYI: IP at the U.S. Supreme Court
Rimini Street, Inc. v Oracle USA limits “full costs” recoveries. Fourth Estate Benefit Corp. v. Wall-Street.com
holds infringement suit cannot begin while patent
