Vernaglia Quoted on Next Steps for Businesses After King v. Burwell

Partner Lawrence Vernaglia was quoted in an Inside Counsel article, “What Businesses Should Do After King v. Burwell,” on June 26, 2015. The article discussed issues that require attention of companies and general counsel after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to keep provisions of the Affordable Care Act in place. Vernaglia said legal departments representing health care providers and hospitals may need to update credit and collection policies, given the prevalence of higher deductible health plans being used by patients. He also suggested employers consider specialty contracts with health care providers, which may be appropriate for larger companies that are self-insured.
