Telemedicine coverage by insurance also covered in new law
The first day of 2021 rang in good news for optometrists in Massachusetts. A multi-faceted healthcare bill was signed into law that allows optometrists to prescribe topical medications for the treatment of glaucoma and to have authority to prescribe oral anti-infectives, moving the state in line with common optometric practice across the rest of the country. New England College of Optometry (NECO) along with many organizations, optometrists and students actively advocated for this important change.
“At NECO, our faculty attendings are trained to diagnose, monitor, and treat glaucoma and to teach our students to practice in any state.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Life sciences mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity totaled US$159b in 2020, down from US$306b in 2019, reaching one of the lowest levels since 2014, according to the 2021 EY
, launched today. A single megadeal – AstraZeneca s December purchase of Alexion Pharmaceuticals – accounted for a quarter of the annual life sciences M&A spend. Setting aside the challenges of doing diligence and closing deals virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, persistently high valuations for biopharma and medtech targets kept many would-be buyers on the sidelines, in what was already expected to be a difficult year.
