We are proud to announce that our partner, Jenny Covington, has been honored with the Pro Bono Legal Service Award by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC). This recognition celebrates her dedication to closing the justice gap for underserved Minnesotans and members of Tribal Nations. Jenny's impactful work with Anishinabe Legal Services, assisting low-income individuals on the Leech Lake, Red Lake, and White Earth Reservations, has been instrumental. Her efforts in custody matters, protection orders, and supporting victims of family violence exemplify her commitment to equal access to justice. Jenny's recognition will take place during an LSC Board reception in Minneapolis this July. Congratulations to her and all the award recipients for their unwavering commitment to bridging the justice gap nationwide. Read more: https://bit.ly/3xVNZ8X

Healthcare providers are facing penalties for blocking access to a patient’s electronic health information under a new Biden administration rule. Hospitals in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program risk losing financial incentives if they engage in "information blocking." Accountable Care Organizations could be banned from the Medicare Shared Savings Program for at least a year. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra emphasizes the rule's goal: ensuring patient access to health information. Despite provider requests, there's no appeals process for penalties. Fines could reach $394,000 for hospitals and $686 for individual providers. The Nelson Mullins team is experienced in healthcare regulatory matters. Please reach out to one of our authors Jake Kohn, Ed White and Chris Cushing for any questions regarding this topic.
