Panel Details
Panel 1 | Trends in Health Care Transformation: Telehealth, Value-based care and More
Digital health is supporting health care transformation with regard to access, quality and cost efficiency. The adoption of telehealth has exploded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability to see patients remotely became a necessity and with it immediate relaxation of the rules that limited the ability to use telehealth and be reimbursed under Medicare, Medicaid and commercial health plans. At the same time, the pursuit of cost-efficiency in the health care industry is increasingly driven by the formation of collaborative arrangements among multiple health care providers who furnish services to patients at various points along the care continuum. As a result, health care industry stakeholders have started to see an increase in transactions within the value-based market. To remain viable, all health care industry stakeholders will need to adapt their business models to deliver higher quality care at a lower cost, and to provide services that meet patients where they are. We will discuss the impact of this trend on health care delivery, how virtual care has advanced, and where we think it will be headed after the public health emergency ends.

Panel 2 | Data Driving Healthtech Innovation: Privacy, Data Access and AI
Digital health innovation relies on the use of data to develop, improve, and operate the technology that can lead to improvements in Care, patient engagement and health outcomes. Understanding the rights and prohibitions of use of such data is critical to the continued adoption and success of any digital health innovation. Recognizing these issues and where the rules are heading is important as more innovation leverages and creates an increasing amount of data, including AI/ML products. This panel will discuss regulatory and policy issues regarding the evolving legal landscape of health data.

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.
