Webinar: What to Expect Under the New Administration in Health Care

New administrations are taking the helm at the federal and state levels, often with opposing views on legal and policy priorities. New and sometimes conflicting directives impact patients, providers, and health care organizations. Plans at the federal level to curtail Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement could significantly impact access to care. The purpose of this webinar is to update health care attorneys on emerging issues and provide practical considerations for them as they counsel their clients. Areas that will be covered include immigration enforcement, reproductive health, gender affirming care, and government payment programs.
