Enroll in Legal Plan at a Discount

If you enroll in the APA legal consultation plan by January 1, 2013, you’ll save $25 and get valuable information on how to avoid risk-management traps. As a benefit to members, APA has entered into an agreement with Anne Marie “Nancy” Wheeler, J.D., to offer confidential “triage” consultation to APA members at a preferred rate. She will also provide names of local counsel when an issue requires representation or an opinion based on a state’s law. Through the plan, members can obtain practice-related legal consultation on managed-care contracts, subpoenas, malpractice, risk management, and third-party reimbursement. (Please note that there is a separate fee for this service. This service is not available to residents of North Carolina.)
