In terms of legal issues in the headlines in the United States you can’t get more timely than Alice G. Gosfield’s Health Law Handbook, 2009 ed., which puts her in the Author Spotlight this month on the West website.
Gosfield’s title offers insights and knowledge from national health law experts on cutting edge issues in health law. The 2009 edition includes fourteen chapters covering the significant areas in health law today: resolving disputes, quality, information management, fraud and abuse, and looming hospital changes. It provides important current information in physician issues, hospital issues, fraud and abuse, and managed care.
The profile on the West site features “7 Questions with Alice G. Gosfield,” which includes her thoughts on the increasing cost of healthcare.
“One of the primary dilemmas is that the provider payment models today contain incentives to either overuse or underuse,” says Gosfield. “I think a better payment model that helps all providers do the right thing and get paid fairly for doing so – avoiding unnecessary and inappropriate care – will help a lot.”
Gosfield practices law in Philadelphia through Alice G. Gosfield and Associates, PC. She places special emphasis on matters related to physician representation, managed care, non-institutional reimbursement, medical staff issues, fraud and abuse, and utilization and quality issues. She also is the author of Medicare and Medicaid Fraud and Abuse, 2009 ed. and is a contributing author to the Health Law Practice Guide, 2d., from West.
