This CLE course will guide healthcare counsel on using representation and warranties insurance in healthcare transactions. The panel will examine when such insurance is appropriate, how it can be best utilized, and what should be covered. The panel will offer best practices for leveraging reps and warranties insurance in healthcare transactions.

Description

As a heavily regulated industry subject to significant federal and state regulatory oversight, healthcare transactions come with unique risks. Those risks include fraud and abuse claims, allegations of privacy and security breaches, or licensure. Parties to healthcare transactions are turning to representation and warranty insurance to help minimize that risk.

Traditionally, part of the purchase price is held in escrow to protect the buyer from potential loss. When using rep and warranty insurance, a significant portion, if not all, of the liability risk shifts from the seller to the insurance company, thereby both providing the buyer with protection and allowing the seller to realize more of the purchase price at closing.

Healthcare counsel must be aware of when rep and warranty insurance is appropriate for the transaction and of the potential issues that can arise in structuring and negotiating coverage and exclusions.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare counsel examines the role of rep and warranty insurance in healthcare transactions and when it is appropriate and when it isn't. The panel will also discuss the considerations the parties should weigh and the role of insurance coverage. The panel will look at examples of when the insurance has been beneficial and when it's been problematic. It will also offer best practices for leveraging rep and warranty insurance in healthcare transactions.
