On January 4, in its most recent effort to expand federal support for addressing health-related social needs (HRSNs), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued guidance to clarify an existing option for states to address HRSNs through the use of “in lieu of” services and settings policies in Medicaid managed care. This option is designed to help states offer alternative benefits that take aim at a range of unmet HRSNs, such as housing instability and food insecurity, and to help enrollees maintain their coverage and improve health outcomes.

Troy Barsky, a Washington, D.C.-based partner in the firm's Health Care Group, explains recent legislation designed to repeal the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula for physician reimbursement, as well as provisions echoing the fraud and abuse mandates in the Affordable Care Act. "This is a strong message from Congress that the focus on fraud and abuse is here today," Barsky said. "The bill was supposed to focus on physician payments, but…having a strong compliance program is vitally important if you continue to operate in this space."

Advertising & Product Risk Management (APRM) Group partners and Group co-chairs Chris Cole and Cheri Falvey are profiled in the Washington Post's Capital Business section for their leadership and growth of the practice. The article highlights the strengths they each bring to the firm, and the unique ability of the APRM Group; "Now the group advises on the entire life cycle of consumer products, from their creation to safety testing, advertising campaigns, product recalls and designing consumer tests to back up marketing claims — which is almost like a science," Cole states. Additionally, Falvey highlights, "part of the reason she joined Crowell was because the firm's leaders understood that the science that must be conducted to back up marketing claims is the same science that federal regulators look at when evaluating the safety of products."
