Opioid addiction has led to devastating effects on communities throughout the United States, propelling the crisis to the top of the agenda for state and federal regulators, legislators, prosecutors, and civil litigants. Raleigh partner Patricia A. Markus will participate in a panel discussion about how the opioid crisis has unfolded, where the litigation and oversight activities currently stand, and what to expect moving forward during an American Health Lawyers Association live webinar on April 26, 2018.

Markus represents healthcare providers and related organizations across the country on an array of healthcare regulatory compliance, reimbursement, licensure, and operational matters, with a special focus on issues surrounding health information privacy, security, and technology. Markus counsels clients on fraud and abuse issues, telehealth strategies, technology agreements, cybersecurity and data privacy issues, hospital-physician affiliations, and reimbursement appeals, and she serves as regulatory counsel to several behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment providers.
