CMA On-Call, the California Medical Association (CMA) online health law library, has been updated with 2017 content. One of CMA's most valuable member benefits, On-Call contains nearly 5,000 pages of up-to-date legal information on a variety of subjects of everyday importance to practicing physicians. The searchable online library contains all the information available in the California Physician's Legal Handbook (CPLH), an annual publication from CMA's Center for Legal Affairs.

New documents for 2017 include:

• Promoting Quality of Life for Older Patients (#3504)


• MACRA Overview (#7210)


• California's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program: The Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (#3212)

Other recently updated documents of particularly timely interest include:

• The California End of Life Option Act (#3459)


• Non-Contracting Physicians (#7508): With updates on California's new out-of-network billing and payment law (AB 72)


• Practice Promotion through Third-Party Coupons (#0104): With updates on new state law relating to referrals (AB 2744)

CMA members can access On-Call documents free at the Health Law Library. Nonmembers can purchase On-Call documents for $2 per page. CPLH, the complete health law library, is also available for purchase in a multi-volume print set or annual online subscription service. To order a copy, visit the CMA store or call (800) 882-1262.
