*Michael Geoffroy and Melanie Carpenter discuss how the decision in Ciox Healthcare LLC v. Azar, et al., upended medical records regulations. *

Medical records are critical to nearly every personal injury case. However, sweeping changes surrounding medical records laws - from a landmark federal court decision last year to recently proposed regulations - have left attorneys on uncertain ground when collecting their clients’ records. 

Veteran trial lawyer Michael Geoffroy, of MG Law, and Melanie Carpenter, a medical records laws expert and special counsel at ChartSquad, sat down to analyze the issues surrounding medical records legislation and their everyday impact on trial attorneys. 

The pair discuss a range of topics, including:

*The landmark U.S. District Court decision in *Ciox Healthcare LLC. v. Azar *and its impact on medical records regulations.

*What to do if you run into a roadblock when requesting a client's medical records.

*How the 21st Century Cures Act and proposed regulations affecting HIPAA and HITECH promise to change the way lawyers acquire records.

And much more. 

Now you can watch the hour-long deep-dive into this important topic **for free**, courtesy of our friends at ChartSquad.
