DOJ says telehealth platform Zealthy "presents itself as providing legitimate telehealth services but is in fact engaged in systemic improper and dangerous telemedical practices." In a motion filed today, DOJ says Zealthy engaged in "routine ordering of prescriptions by ... non-clinicians with no medical license." Zealthy allegedly misused the names of doctors "to order many thousands of prescriptions for patients they did not actually treat." Separately, Zealthy "is bilking thousands of consumers each month through unauthorized charges ... and even after consumers cancel."

"In reality, Mevdi secretly transmits users’ information—including identifying information such as email addresses and details reflecting their participation in a medical intake process— to third parties..."

Longevity influencer Peter Attia had a deeper relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than he publicly acknowledged last month, @politico found. Including: - He asked Epstein for patient referrals - Epstein introduced him to a foreign-born model, whom he interviewed for a job

Though these kinds of letters can be unremarkable, this one is an interesting escalation in a long brewing fight over how to make patient data more accessible while also keeping it safe. More on this soon

The letter follows a recent lawsuit from Epic, that alleges several companies misrepresented themselves on two data networks — Carequality and The Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement— in order to get rapid access patient data.

For those who are familiar with Epic’s dispute with Particle Health over Integritort, this lawsuit represents another argument in favor of tighter restrictions over health data. But there's also increased pressure to find a middle ground.

Epic is not the only plaintiff in this suit. It is joined by OCHIN, a nonprofit that supports technology for federally qualified health centers, as well as by health systems Reid Health, Trinity Health, and UMass Memorial Health.

This morning, Epic filed a lawsuit against Health Gorilla, a platform that connects health institutions with health data, along with several smaller telehealth companies, for fraudulently accessing patient data. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026/0…
