Healthcare team leader Eric Klein will participate on a panel on “Critical Insights, Updates and Considerations in the Healthcare Law Landscape” on Sunday, October 6 from 1:15 – 2 p.m. PT.

Panel description:

For the past decade, the healthcare industry has been characterized by large scale change as hospitals and health systems have had to evolve in an increasingly complex environment to sustain themselves. With the disruptive forces over the past several years threatening to dramatically transform healthcare as we know it today, and the massive disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare leaders need to stay abreast of critical developments within the industry. In this unique session, you will have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of lawyers who are well versed in the issues impacting healthcare providers today. Whether mergers, acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures and syndications, contracting, regulatory and operational matters or compliance and investigations, this panel of experts has seen it all, heard it all and dealt with numerous situations from which they will draw upon to answer some of the key questions on the minds of hospital and health system GCs and CLOs.

Eric Klein and Health Plan practice co-leader Lynsey Mitchel will also moderate a Think Tank Session on “How to Assess Readiness for Payor Downside Risk Contracting and Avoid Legal Risks” on Monday, October 7 from 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. PT.

Think Tank description:

As CMS continues to move Medicare entirely toward value-based contracting by 2030 and with most hospitals losing money on their Medicare and Medicaid segments, more health systems are considering whether to move into global risk payor contracting (both upside and downside risk) for Medicare Advantage, ACO REACH and/or Medicaid. Sheppard Mullin is working with leading health systems and academic medical centers to assess their readiness for global risk and downside risk, put effective programs in place to improve quality and profitability and reduce legal risk exposure. Join us for a roundtable discussion on this industry trend, lessons learned and how to manage the process effectively.
