LAW 740SEM - Health Law: Business, Organization & Finance

Health law is a growth area of legal practice and for good reason. Health care counts for almost one-fifth of the U.S. economy, is extensively regulated, and is undergoing significant transformation calling for new legal structures and contractual arrangements. This seminar focuses on the business side of health care, including health care insurance and recent initiatives designed to reform health care delivery and reimbursement. Topics include managed care regulation, medical provider integration and organization, referral fee laws, and antitrust laws related to health care providers. The goal will be to develop an understanding of the increasingly complex rules governing the delivery, financing and regulation of health care services.
