THE SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF TEXAS MUTUAL INSURANCE OVER PRIVATE EQUITY COMPANIES

  Air ambulances became available to citizens in the 1970s; since then, they have become increasingly more common and important when saving someone’s life.

However, this life-saving innovation also brought greed along with it. Large privately-owned companies were able to decide the cost of the flight, no matter the case.


Since 2012, Texas Mutual Insurance along with the Attorney General and other insurance providers, fought against these large businesses to achieve a rate for air ambulances that is reasonable.


Large companies such as PHI Air Medical, naturally fought against the state of Texas to overturn a previously passed law that says PHI was to only receive fair and reasonable funds. Not the ones that they decide upon on their own.


Texas workers’ compensation law prohibits medical providers from charging injured workers when they require medical treatment.


"The issue has now been fully and fairly litigated," said Mary Nichols, senior vice president and general counsel for Texas Mutual. "Without regulation, air ambulances would drain tens of millions of dollars from the system and ultimately from Texas employers and injured workers. These rulings affirm the role of the states in regulating their own workers' compensation systems, as a matter of federalism and sound regulatory policy."


Safe to say, it was a good win for the great state of Texas.

OSHA'S UPDATED COVID-19 GUIDELINES FOR EMPLOYERS

Image
 Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) recently updated its  COVID-19 guidelines  to help employers navigate a world with vaccinated and unvaccinated employees. In its updated guidelines, OSHA has emphasized guidelines for non-healthcare-related industries that typically involve close-quartered contact for extended periods, such as retail, food-service, and other essential positions. OSHA has stated that fully vaccinated people do not need to take all of the precautions that unvaccinated employees must. The guidance focuses mainly on identifying those employees who are at-risk in the workplace and unvaccinated. Who are the at-risk workers? Those who have conditions that prevent them from having a full-immune response to vaccinations. Workers with disabilities; under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), workers with disabilities may be entitled to accommodations to protect themselves from contracting COVID-19.  Those workers that cannot be prote...

UPDATE | PPP LOAN - A LIFE LINE OR JUST A STRING ATTACHED ?

PPP LOAN  - A LIFELINE OR JUST A STRING ATTACHED? The PPP Loan program has been a lifeline for many of our clients over the last several months. However, shortly after the program kicked off, it became mired in controversy and bad press from all the stories of large corporations receiving funding.  The immediate reaction was to add regulations that became a point of uncertainty and anxiety for many of our clients. On May 13, the SBA and the Department of the Treasury provided additional guidance in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions release (find full release  here ). In short, the SBA has created a "Certification Safe Harbor" for a business that borrowed less than $2 million. The business that borrowed less than $2 million are automatically deemed to have made the financial-necessity certification on the loan application in good faith. While this does not guarantee forgiveness of the loan, it does shelter those businesses from facing the potential penalt...
