Part I: Violation of Pharmacist Guideline
“Most Medicare Prescription Drug Plans have a coverage gap (which is also called the “donut hole”). This means there is a temporary limit on what the drug plan will cover for drugs.” Click here to review and analyze additional information on coverage gap.
Now, analyze the following scenario.
A pharmacist submits Medicare claims for brand name medication instead of following the guidelines to provide the patients with the less expensive, generic medicines.
Respond to the following:
Which law, if any, is violated by the pharmacist?
By using the Internet, research and provide a similar real-life example.
Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning by using examples and references from textbooks, the South University Online Library, and other acceptable references. Cite sources in the APA format. Further, comment on the postings of at least two peers.
Part II: Breach of Contract
A contract consists of a voluntary agreement that two parties enter into with the intent of benefitting each other (Fremgen, 2012). Something of value, which is termed consideration, is part of the agreement (Fremgen, 2012). A contract can be either expressed or implied. An express contract is an agreement that clearly states all the terms. It can be entered into orally or in writing (Fremgen, 2012).
A breach of contract occurs when either party fails to comply with the terms of the agreement (Fremgen, 2012). For example, if a physician refuses to perform a medical procedure he or she had agreed to perform, the physician has breached the contract (Fremgen, 2012). If a patient does not pay an agreed-upon fee, then the patient breached the contract with the physician (Fremgen, 2012).
Now, respond to the following questions:
Find out your state’s current court decisions for breach of contract and provide an example of breach of contract affecting a hospital.
Review and describe the state’s methodology for addressing issues pertaining to such a breach of contract.
Describe how legal procedures have evolved over time to help reduce such occurrences.
Describe how the breach of contract you identified could have been avoided.
Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning by using examples and references from textbooks, the South University Online Library, and other acceptable references. Cite sources in the APA format. Further, comment on the postings of at least two peers.

Disease and Human Body Systems
From the battle to prevent the spread of AIDS to breakthroughs in cancer research, disease and its impact on the human body are everyday subjects for health organizations and the scientific community as well as the popular press. News articles, reports, studies, and other resources can provide insights into how disease affects the human body and its systems. These resources inform not only researchers and scientists, but also public health officials and the general population.
In this Discussion, you locate an article related to a human disease and you analyze the information the article provides. Also, you explore how greater understanding of a disease’s effects on the human body informs public health and disease prevention.
To prepare for this Discussion,
Locate an article related to a particular human disease from the popular press (e.g., Time, CNN, Newsweek), a federal or global health organization (e.g., CDC, WHO, World Bank, UNAIDS), or a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal such as the Journal of Public Health and Epidemiology (search using the CINAHL database in the Walden library). This article should have been published within the last 2 years.
Identify which body system(s) is/are impacted by the disease. Consider the implications of the subject matter discussed in the article on the body system(s).
Reflect on how public health and disease prevention are impacted by the subject matter of the article.
post a brief summary of the article you reviewed that is related to a particular human disease (include the article citation in proper APA format). Then describe the implications of the subject matter discussed in this article on one or more human body systems. Finally, explain how understanding the impact of this disease on body systems might inform public health and disease prevention. Be sure to support your response with references to your chosen article as well as this week’s Learning Resources.
