ABA's Washington Health Law Summit 2022

Crowell & Moring Partner Chris Flynn, co-chair of the firm's Health Care Practice Group, will be speaking at the ABA's 20th Annual Washington Health Law Summit, taking place the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. December 12-13, 2022. His panel, "No Surprises Act - Has It Had the Impact We Expected?," will take place on December 13th from 11:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET, and he will be joined by Maria Salgado (Cornerstone Research) and Erin Trish (University of Southern California).

In December 2020, Congress responded by passing the No Surprises Act (NSA). National and state provider groups have recently filed lawsuits against federal regulators challenging the NSA’s arbitration process. First, they allege that the process will lead to below-market rates for their services. Second, they allege that patients’ access to in-network providers will decrease. This panel will review the state of these challenges, the arguments on both sides, and economic evidence related to these challenges.

As the future of U.S. healthcare continues to evolve, the 20th Annual Washington Health Law Summit (WHS) is the one event you can’t afford to miss! It is essential for advisors in all segments of the healthcare industry to stay up-to-date on the latest legislative and policy developments, as well as the implementation of significant healthcare initiatives emanating from the federal government, including Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Inspector General, and other vital agencies.
