ABA's Washington Health Law Summit 2022

Address
The Ritz-Carlton
1150 22nd St NW, Washington, DC 20037
Crowell & Moring Partner Chris Flynn, co-chair of the firm's Health Care Practice Group, will be speaking at the ABA's 20th Annual Washington Health Law Summit, taking place the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. December 12-13, 2022. His panel, "No Surprises Act - Has It Had the Impact We Expected?," will take place on December 13th from 11:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET, and he will be joined by Maria Salgado (Cornerstone Research) and Erin Trish (University of Southern California).
In December 2020, Congress responded by passing the No Surprises Act (NSA). National and state provider groups have recently filed lawsuits against federal regulators challenging the NSA’s arbitration process. First, they allege that the process will lead to below-market rates for their services. Second, they allege that patients’ access to in-network providers will decrease. This panel will review the state of these challenges, the arguments on both sides, and economic evidence related to these challenges.
As the future of U.S. healthcare continues to evolve, the 20th Annual Washington Health Law Summit (WHS) is the one event you can’t afford to miss! It is essential for advisors in all segments of the healthcare industry to stay up-to-date on the latest legislative and policy developments, as well as the implementation of significant healthcare initiatives emanating from the federal government, including Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Inspector General, and other vital agencies.

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.
