– PUBLICATIONS NOTE –

On occasion, a university program will order books for a class of students, or individuals will call for a copy of one of our books. If a book is out-of-print, there is still the possibility of producing a book or two on an “on-demand” basis. And, in terms of producing any new title, we will refer such a project to Athens Printing for their consideration – a not uncommon activity for a customer from any perspective (I.e. a family genealogy or history, short run titles, etc.). Marketing such titles by APC would not be a possibility.

The Affordable Care Act, Collateral Sources, and Tort Reform: Implications for the Life Care Planner

This booklet is a discussion of the Affordable Care Act, collateral sources, and tort reform all of which impact the work of the forensic rehabilitation consultant and, in particular, the life care planner. The major issue revolves around the estimation of life care planning damages which are impacted by reductions and set-asides on the final damage award. Life care planners, as illustrated by several court cases, may be expected with increasing frequency to provide two or more scenarios of a life care plan. The defendant’s interest in collateral sources as a means to reduce damage awards is real and with tort reform, all life care planners should expect to be asked to provide additional cost estimates on medical services and goods. (Field, Choppa, & Johnson, 2015, @40 pp).
