“Fountain of youth”

Published on May 2, 2014 by

Dear Dr. Lowen,

Three months ago, I entered your office and found out who held the keys to the “fountain of youth.” It was you Dr. Lowen.

I am a 61-year-old woman who came to your office with a face and neck severely damaged by sun and wrinkled from age.

I was a bit apprehensive about having cosmetic surgery but after two informational consultations and much discussion about my expectations, I felt perfectly at ease.

As I said, three months ago I stepped into your office, and now I look at my face and neck and see the rejuvenation that has taken place. I am a 61-year-old woman that now looks in her late 40′s, all because of your “magic hands.”

Thank you Dr. Lowen,

New Law Requires Notice to Patients About Open Payments Database

Pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 1278, physicians will soon be required to provide a notice to their patients regarding the Open Payments database (Database), which is managed by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS.

Specifically, this new law requires physicians to do the following beginning January 1, 2024, a physician who uses a website in their medical practice must conspicuously post the same notice described below on their website.

Under this law, a violation of these requirements constitutes unprofessional conduct.

“For informational purposes only, a link to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments web page is provided here. https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/

The federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires that detailed information about payment and other payments of value worth over ten dollars ($10) from manufacturers of drugs, medical devices, and biologics to physicians and teaching hospitals be made available to the public.”

Beginning January 1, 2024, a physician who uses a website in their medical practice must conspicuously post the same notice described above on their website.

Under this law, a violation of these requirements constitutes unprofessional conduct.
