Please join us for the “Fostering Innovative Digital Health Strategies” conference on June 23, 2016, hosted by Accenture and Crowell & Moring. This intimate and interactive event will bridge the intersection of business, legal, and policy issues that innovative companies face in developing and integrating successful digital health tools and platforms. Our panelists will discuss their experiences on how to navigate both the risks and opportunities involved in these new health care tools and strategies. 

The digital health landscape is dramatically changing as new tools and platforms are emerging to provide services to individuals in the home, remotely monitor care, connect different sources of health care data, and use data to improve knowledge and support precision medicine. These tools and platforms are becoming more important as payers are shifting to value-based payment and health care providers are becoming more accountable for health care outcomes. This timely conference will address the critical and changing business and legal dynamics that the health care industry must navigate as they seek to develop and leverage these new tools and platforms, and identify pathways for success in the new health care economy.

Lawyers, business advisors, and thought leaders from across the industry and government will share their perspectives and insights on:

  • Predicted trends and innovations in digital health and health care Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Cybersecurity and privacy for digital health tools and information
  • Business and legal considerations in establishing a successful digital health platform
  • Pending legislation and regulations that may impact core strategic and investment decisions to be made now by health care providers, health plans, and technology companies
  • New payment models and data sources for greater coordination and quality of care and improved cost-efficiency

This dynamic and practical one-day conference will be directed at a mix of both business and legal professionals looking for innovative ways to address some traditional legal and regulatory hurdles. Whether a provider, payer, technology company, or policy maker, your organization will benefit from the enhanced understanding you will gain from this conference with respect to the digital health world, its risks, and its opportunities for success.

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.
