LawTalk Ep. 15 - Rules of Medical Necessity

This episode, Rules of Medical Necessity: A Fredrikson & Bryson Professor of Law Appointment Lecture featuring Professor Daniel Schwarcz, discusses the different ways that health insurers are undermining the legal constraints on their coverage determinations. Professor Schwarcz explores how federal and state actors can push back on these insurer efforts to avoid legal oversight of their medical necessity determinations. Schwarcz's talk will be based on his draft article, Rules of Medical Necessity, which is co-authored with Professor Amy Monahan and is forthcoming in the Iowa Law Review. Professor Daniel Schwarcz, is an award-winning teacher and scholar. His research focuses on a broad range of issues in insurance law and regulation, spanning systemic risk, regulatory federalism, consumer protection, employer-sponsored health insurance, and insurance coverage litigation.
