Analyzing Federal Scrutiny of Gender-Affirming Care and Minority-Focused Healthcare Initiatives and the Impact on Hospitals and Employer Health Plans
Navigating the Risks of Compliance and Noncompliance
A live 90-minute CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A
This CLE webinar will examine the recently issued executive order (EO) prohibiting or limiting gender-affirming care for individuals under the age of 19 and its impact on healthcare providers and employer health plans. Our panel will also examine the recently issued EOs and increased scrutiny on minority-focused healthcare initiatives and their impact on hospitals and healthcare provider organizations. The expert panel will provide an in-depth look at the EOs, the potential legal and operational issues created for hospitals, healthcare providers, and other organizations, and the risks of compliance and noncompliance where the executive orders may be at odds with federal and state law.
