Mintz Highlights Legal Updates and Trends in Monthly TCPA Digest
Mintz TCPA & Consumer Calling Practice team has issued its first monthly newsletter with legal updates and trends in this area. As we have pointed out before, the healthcare industry is not immune from litigation and enforcement based on the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Pharmacies and providers have been subject to settlement payments resulting from calls to consumers, and the FCC has addressed so-called “robocalls” made by healthcare providers in its rulings.
We are excited to present this inaugural Monthly TCPA Digest – Part I highlights TCPA Regulatory updates and considerations (including information about an FCC Public Notice seeking comment on a petition relating to the interaction between FCC rules and HIPAA), and then Part II explores TCPA Litigation developments. You can also learn more about our TCPA & Consumer Calling Practice from the newsletter.
With the continuing compliance challenges faced by health care industry participants and the overlay of sometimes competing regulatory frameworks, we hope this TCPA newsletter helps keep you informed of the risks and opportunities in this area. In an industry where timely and confidential communication is key, many providers and other industry participants are trying to navigate the legal landscape and keep an open line of communication with their patients and customers.
