Can I Sue My Patient For Defamation? – Medical Justice

My Patient Is Making Threats Related to HIPAA - How Does Medical Justice Help. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/Ddj3Cx or call 877-633-5878. Video transcript: Every day we're getting phone calls from our clients about new threats. As one example, a doctor received a note from a patient. She was livid stating that the doctor had violated HIPAA because he had communicated with another doctor about her treatment without her written authorization. And the truth is is that a doctor is allowed to communicate with another treating doctor whether or not a patient signs a HIPAA release. But this patient didn't know it and this doctor didn't quite understand the intricacies of HIPAA. Fortunately, we were able to hold his hand and let him know there was no problem and he was able to communicate back to the patient that no such regulation was violated. So, peace of mind.

I Am A Doctor Getting Sued by a Patient - How Does Medical Justice Help. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/Ddj3Cx or call 877-633-5878. What role does Medical Justice play once you've been sued?Well we play a secondary role compared to your carrier and the attorney your carrier supplies. Your carrier/attorney is in the drivers seat and we yield to his or her judgement. We clearly want to let the opposite side know you're a member of good standing of Medical Justice and you have up to a hundred thousand dollars to file counter suets and counter claims. But to the extent that information is going to be made known to the opposite side we want your attorney to vet that letter. So, ultimately they decide whether that letter is sent or not. Most of the time they're comfortable sending it, on occasion not. We definitely yield to their guidance. For more information or to join our mailing list sign up at info@MedicalJustice.com.

How To Reverse a Negative Patient Review - eMerit, Online Reputation Management. Visit us online at https://goo.gl/0XD9yx or call 1-855-4-eMerit. While many of the reviews that you receive are positive, occasionally they will be negative. How do you handle a negative review? Well, if you know who the patient is, you can reach out to him or her and try and solve their problem. And if you have solved the problem, ask if they will update or even remove the review. And the magic words you want to use, after you've solved their problem would be, "Would you be kind enough to update or remove the review? It's a request not a demand." It's a request not a demand. The vast majority of people will reciprocate. Not everyone. But if you've solved someone's problem, it's a reasonable request to update the review. So that is one category of how to respond but you're responding behind the scenes. How To Reverse a Negative Patient Review - eMerit, Online Reputation Management.
