AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Abortion Pill Fight (Louisiana in the spotlight): The U.S. Supreme Court kept mifepristone accessible via telehealth and mail for now, pausing a Fifth Circuit move that would have forced in-person dispensing while Louisiana’s lawsuit against the FDA continues; Thomas and Alito dissented, and Louisiana’s AG said the fight is far from over. Medicare Oversight: CMS announced a nationwide six-month moratorium on new Medicare enrollments for hospices and home health agencies, signaling tougher scrutiny of potential fraud. Opioid Settlement Money: Louisiana is set to receive $27M from the opioid settlement. Heart Health Research: Ochsner named pediatric cardiologist Dr. Craig Sable as a principal investigator in a $15M American Heart Association initiative to improve early detection of rheumatic heart disease. Public Health Watch: Louisiana’s latest drinking-water system grades are now posted, and some Gulf Coast beachgoers were warned about fecal bacteria closures.
