CBI’s Premiere Forum on Bio/Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs)
Event | 06.17.09 - 06.18.09, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC
When manufacturers settle with the government for alleged wrongdoing – many times focused on fraudulent promotion or kickback allegations – in addition to hefty fines, the organization enters into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the OIG. While each agreement differs by focusing specifically on each manufacturer’s conduct issues, these agreements are an invaluable asset to compliance teams as they give insight into the government’s expectations and standards for various compliance challenges.
In this forum, hear best practices that have been developed following an integrity obligation. Attendees come from both companies currently operating under a CIA and those that are not. Session leaders explain how they improved or changed their processes and how these enhancements can be applied at any company to develop an overall more efficient and effective compliance program.
Karen Gibbs is one of the speakers at this event. The topic is "Refine Policies and Procedures and Implement through Effective and Efficient Training Programs". She is addressing the 'Implement Effective and Efficient Training Programs' portion.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today
Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
