GWSCSW PREPAID LEGAL PLAN
Having access to a lawyer who can provide prompt expert advice - and who is not
prohibitively expensive - can provide peace of mind. In any practice, legal
questions are likely to arise. Some of the obvious ones might be: how do I
handle this subpoena? is this a case I have to report to Child Protective
Services? how long should I be keeping this records?
Our New Attorneys Specialize in Health Care Law
In more complex cases, the assistance of a lawyer who is not just familiar with
HIPAA requirements and privacy issues, but is truly knowledgeable about the
nature of our work potentially can prevent a clinician from being tied up by the
demands of the legal system, thereby preserving those valuable clinical hours.
We will be represented by the law firm of Feldesman, Tucker, Leifer Fidell. This
is a large firm with a group of attorneys who specialize in health care law.
(Many of us were privileged to meet Mary S. Pence, an attorney at Feldesman,
Tucker, Leifer Fidell, when she joined GWSCSW member Karen Freed for an
excellent presentation on Collaborative Divorce at our September dinner
meeting.)
The plan commences on January 1, 2008 and will cost each subscriber $100 for the
year. (The cost rises to $125 for anyone who subscribes after the December 31,
2007, deadline.) Each subscriber is entitled to up to one hour of consultation,
in any of our three jurisdictions. And, if you have a practice in more than one
jurisdiction and need legal advice in each of them, you can split your time, for
a total of one hour. (Time is billed in 15-minute segments.)
