Description
The trend of payers, providers and members of managed care plans litigating over such issues as coverage, payment and network participation continues unabated. The changes in healthcare laws have added new disputes in areas such as medical loss ratio regulation, essential health benefits and network inclusion.
Changes in healthcare reimbursement are driving a trend toward tiered and narrow networks, which will only increase litigation over out-of-network reimbursement, the right to participate in managed care networks, and whether tiering arrangements are valid.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare practitioners analyzes recent developments in managed care litigation, and discusses substantive, strategic and practical considerations involved in litigating managed care suits.
