Section Description
This is a survey course covering legal issues in health care delivery, financing, and the responsibilities of health care professionals to patients. The course introduces students to an area that constitutes more than one-sixth of the U.S. economy, with a view toward accessibility and quality of care. The course will include traditional areas of interest including provider-patient relationships, state and federal regulation of health care providers, insurance and managed care, access to health care, liability of individuals and institutions, and fraud and abuse, as well as understanding health care as one among many determinants of health. There will also be an analysis of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including legal challenges to the statute since its enactment.
This course will be taught by Jacob Elberg.
