On Friday, June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in two interlinked cases that overturn a 40-year-old precedent, significantly weakening the regulatory power of federal officials. This decision is expected to have profound implications for the entire healthcare industry, with many current federal regulations governing self-insured health plans potentially under threat. In the future, regulators at the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services will have significantly less leeway in interpreting vague or ambiguous federal laws.

Noted healthcare legal and policy expert, Chris Deacon, JD, will provide a detailed analysis of the Supreme Court decision and its likely impact on self-insured employers. This presentation will include a discussion of:

Which current regulatory structures may change under the new precedent.
How regulators are likely to respond to the changes. Implications for congressional action affecting self-funded employers and purchasers.

Opportunities and threats for self-funded employers and purchasers under the new legal framework.
