I recently noticed Victoria raise the topic on Linked In and nobody is really talking about the issues with regard to cannabis and psychedelics medical treatments and therapies in a public forum so I thought it more than worthwhile to hear her thoughts and especially so with regard to HIPAA
Every US citizen has HIPAA ingrained in their brain but those of us outside the US might be a little less aware (see information below)
Victoria explains the intersections and protections individuals availing themselves of psychedelic and cannabis treatments may or may not have.
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a US federal law designed to protect the privacy and security of patients’ health information. It establishes standards for how covered entities, including healthcare providers and health plans, handle and protect patient information. HIPAA also mandates that business associates, who work with covered entities and their PHI, also comply with the act
Victoria Cvitanovic is a psychedelic medicine and cannabis attorney at Rudick Law Group, PLLC specializing in matters such as commercial transactions, regulatory compliance, state licensing, insurance, supply chain logistics, medical malpractice defense, medical board defense, and corporate law. Victoria leverages her diverse experience across criminal law, healthcare regulatory law, logistics, and litigation portfolio management to act as a strategic partner to her clients, mitigating risk in multiple interdisciplinary aspects of their growing businesses.
Victoria first witnessed the need for sophisticated representation in the cannabis and psychedelic medicine spaces as a prosecutor for the State of Louisiana, Parish of Orleans, where she handled a substantial felony docket, made charging decisions in violent criminal cases, managed and obtained indictments before grand juries, tried numerous cases to verdict, and rose to become the Chief of the Juvenile Division, making her the youngest person to obtain a “Chief” rank in that office at that time. As a prosecutor, Victoria advocated for diversion, addiction treatment options, and hybrid sentencing options. After transitioning out of prosecution, Victoria defended doctors and hospital networks on behalf of both the state of Louisiana and private insurance companies, securing verdicts on behalf of healthcare providers at both the pre-panel and post-panel levels and before various professional regulatory bodies. These successes led Victoria to become a contract drafter, a regulatory advisor, a tactical ally in structuring, securing, and enforcing complex settlement agreements, and a strategic partner to her healthcare clients. During this time, Victoria’s lifelong interest in technology, data privacy, and supply-chain logistics led her to litigate on behalf of several large corporate technology companies. Once again, Victoria’s courtroom success led clients to seek out her strategic advice, leading her to perform litigation portfolio management, contract development, and technological/trade secret discovery management to ensure consistent success across business lines and jurisdictions.
Victoria’s personal experiences drive strategic growth for her clients. After a life-altering injury, Victoria experienced the transformative power of psychedelic medicine and cannabis therapy as a patient. Chronic pain drove her to set a goal of bringing together her litigation, healthcare, and strategic business experience to ensure patients and others in need of access to these modalities. Now, Victoria provides high quality legal services to a variety of psychedelic medicine and cannabis businesses and healthcare providers, with an emphasis on Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT/KAP) providers, Cannabis medical markets, Cannabis recreational markets, emerging Psilocybin medical and therapeutic programs, Cannabis supply chain logistics, and Psychedelic supply chain logistics
Victoria is a frequent speaker and guest on psychedelics podcasts. She is a prolific psychedelic policy commentator on LinkedIn, where she provides updates on breaking news, litigation, and legislation affecting the Louisiana and New Mexico markets. She is also a dedicated Zen Buddhist and meditation and yoga instructor, focusing on making these practices accessible to other chronic pain patients.
