The health care industry has just come out of the most dramatic and challenging events in modern times-the COVID-19 pandemic and Public Health Emergency (PHE). This event drove both rapid and shifting regulations and waivers, and also a number of critical advances in the delivery of care. But throughout the PHE, health care lawyers continued needing to also maintain existing care delivery, payment and research/development systems.
Health law remains both relatively recent in origins and also extremely dynamic. Regulators, plans, and providers have been evaluating changes to the health care delivery system-all while business, patient care, regulation, and oversight continue. Health lawyers need a broad understanding of both the industry and recent developments, to be effective for clients. Get an introduction to Massachusetts and federal health care law-including the core issues and latest developments. Learn the acronyms, players, general concepts, and important laws and policies. Sessions are valuable to experienced health care attorneys seeking an update and to lawyers new to health law practice. Lawyers representing health care providers, insurers and health plans, patients, governmental agencies, and employers purchasing health coverage for employees all benefit from attending.
