New MDTC Databank Now Online! Orders and Briefs on Ex-Parte Physician Meetings Under HIPPA Available
Thanks to many of our members who have been sharing their excellent briefs and qualified protective orders from around the state pertaining to defense counsel's right to meet with healthcare providers ex-parte in personal injury matters under HIPAA, MDTC is proud to announce that its databank containing these orders and briefs is now available on-line at the MDTC’s website.
The materials in the databank will certainly assist our members in developing the very finest defenses and arguments available to preserve defense counsel's rights, under longstanding Michigan jurisprudence, to continue meeting with treating physicians in the investigation and preparation of our cases on behalf of our clients.
Thank you again to everyone for your help and participation in making this resource a success. It is one of the reasons that make MDTC the premier defense organization across the state and what keeps you, as a member, ahead of the rest in terms of defense litigators! As always, if you have any briefs or orders you would feel comfortable sharing with other members, please send them to info@mdtc.org at the MDTC offices for inclusion in the databank. It is through working together for the common good of all of our clients that we can provide you with this service. We hope you will further this goal and make it a habit to send us copies of any new orders or briefs you may prepare or obtain on this key issue so we can keep this databank current for everyone's benefit.
Wishing you all the best! We look forward to your successes and hopefully the orders and briefs you may be able to share.
