Webinar focuses on CARES Act payments to healthcare providers
Butzel Long has scheduled a webinar on Wednesday, April 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to discuss CARES Act healthcare provider relief payments.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is rolling out payments and advances to healthcare providers to assist them with covering their costs and obtaining necessary resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The programs include the Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program (AAPD), which is an advance or loan against future billings; the Provider Relief Fund (PRF), which are outright grants that will not have to be repaid; plus possible future relief payments to some providers that HHS is still working on.
Attorneys from the law firm’s Health Care Industry Team will discuss how healthcare providers can obtain these funds and what they have to do in order to qualify and stay eligible.

After appeal, brothers face charges again in mother’s death
TRENTON (AP) — The Michigan Court of Appeals has reinstated murder charges against two Detroit-area brothers who were accused of allowing their severely disabled mother to wither and die.
In a 2-1 decision last week, the appeals court said there was “sufficient evidence” to allow a jury to decide whether caregivers Grant and Gabriel Balogh had abused their mother and were responsible for her death.
Vickie Balogh of Trenton weighed 79 pounds when she died in 2016 at age 52. She had an inherited terminal wasting disease known as SCA-I that had afflicted other members of her family.
Dr. Lokman Sung of the Wayne County medical examiner's office said Balogh's death was linked to her body deteriorating from malnutrition. But defense expert Dr. L.J. Dragovic said the death could be attributed to pneumonia and the complications of her devastating illness.
District Court Judge Jennifer Coleman Hesson had dismissed murder and abuse charges in 2017, a decision that was affirmed by a Wayne County judge.
Appeals court Judge Kathleen Jansen said Hesson made the right call.
The brothers “had to watch their mother suffer and die from this horrible disease, and now the majority seeks to have them stand trial for her murder,” Jansen said in a dissent.
Brewery taps new ale honoring coronavirus expert Dr. Fauci
ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia brewery is tapping into the nation’s thirst for coronavirus responses to name its new beers.
Atlanta-based Wild Heaven Beer has just released a new brew called “Fauci Spring” in honor of the nation’s top expert on infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci.
It’s described as a pale ale brewed with acai berries and an experimental variety of hops.
The brewery also put out a lager called “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” for socially distant drinking, and will next release a rye IPA it’s calling “We Will Meet Again.”
“We were inspired by Queen Elizabeth II’s beautiful and inspiring speech to the British people, and like her we are looking forward to the time when we can meet again,” the brewery’s president, Nick Purdy, told The Associated Press.
One of Wild Heaven’s flagship brews also fits the times: It’s called “Emergency Drinking Beer.”
