Marvel has the Multiverse – a collection of alternate realities where superheroes interact and exist independently but are sometimes cognizant of their counterparts in other realities. Oddly enough, our world has the Metaverse, which is not fiction. It refers to the world that exists in digital format. Find out how the Metaverse impacts your law firm by reading today’s post.

What is The Metaverse?

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and most people have something to be thankful about. It might be for getting a short work week, finding out that there is yet another extension on the student loan moratorium, or getting a cheat day on your diet.

The goal here is to present former CFO Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to charges that he participated in a decades-long scheme to use pre-tax dollars to pay for his apartment, cars, and various other perks, as the lone criminal mastermind seeking to defraud the company.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule Tuesday for Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans in 2024. The agency hopes the changes will increase healthcare access, streamline the plan selection process and simplify enrolling in coverage.

To advance access to care, CMS is proposing adding two essential community provider (ECP) categories for 2024: mental health facilities and substance use disorder treatment centers. An ECP is a provider that mostly serves low-income and medically underserved populations. Adding these categories will improve healthcare access by requiring medical qualified health plan issuers to offer a contract to at least one substance use disorder treatment center and at least one mental health facility that qualify as ECPs in each county of the plan’s service area, a CMS spokesperson said in an email.
