Hb 1013: Georgia Mental Health Parity Act, Justin Crozier, Betsy Hicks, Jordan Kalteux
Hb 1013: Georgia Mental Health Parity Act, Justin Crozier, Betsy Hicks, Jordan Kalteux
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act overhauls Georgia’s mental health system by enforcing compliance with federal mental health parity law. Most notably, the Act requires health insurers to provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorders equitably with physical health and defines generally accepted standards of care. The Act requires insurers to submit annual parity compliance reports and requires the Commissioner to make annual data calls and submit annual reports. The Act requires compliance with a minimum 85% medical loss ratio. The Act provides for cancelable loans to Georgia residents enrolled in related educational programs and creates grant programs for accountability courts. The …
Contracting For Healthcare: Price Terms In Hospital Admission Agreements, George A. Nation Iii
Contracting For Healthcare: Price Terms In Hospital Admission Agreements, George A. Nation Iii
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
This article discusses the application of contract law principles to the relationship between hospitals and patients to determine how much patients owe for the health care they receive. For patients who are covered by in-network health insurance the exact nature of the contract created with the hospital usually is not relevant to the patient’s financial obligation because the patient’s contract with the hospital is superseded by the contract between the patient’s health insurer and the hospital. Nevertheless, even in-network patients are financially impacted, via increased insurance premiums, by the contract analysis discussed here, and for the increasing number of patients …
The Failed Promise Of Mental Health Parity In Virginia: A Missing Key In Mental Healthcare Access, Zachary Woerner
The Failed Promise Of Mental Health Parity In Virginia: A Missing Key In Mental Healthcare Access, Zachary Woerner
William & Mary Business Law Review
For those who suffer from the most serious mental illnesses, access to mental healthcare is critically important, but often frustrated by a Byzantine insurance system. The goal of this Note is to sift through the various mental health insurance parity laws, both nationally and statewide, and determine where this system breaks down. The Note will argue that lack of enforcement of parity laws plays a critical role in much of the dysfunction in the marketplace.
Legislation in Virginia and elsewhere is not always deficient on its face. Instead, laws critically lack regulators willing or able to implement them. This creates …
Privacy Of Information And Dna Testing Kits, Shanna Raye Mason
Privacy Of Information And Dna Testing Kits, Shanna Raye Mason
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
In modern times, consumers desire for more control over their own health and healthcare. With this growing interest of control, direct to consumer DNA testing kits have never been more popular. However, many consumers are unaware of the potential privacy concerns associated with such use. This comment examines the popularity and privacy risks that are likely unknown to the individual consumer. This comment also addresses the shortcomings of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as well as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) in regard to protecting individual’s genetic information from misuse. This comment …
Obamacare: Under The Knife, Kylan Rutherford
Obamacare: Under The Knife, Kylan Rutherford
Marriott Student Review
President Trump and Congress have tried and failed to pass through a replacement plan for Obamacare. This article details why this effort failed, and several issues extant in Obamacare that may move the law toward insolvency. These issues are the mandate, guaranteed issue, and the 'risk corridor' funding set up to back struggling insurance companies.
Healthism, Intersectionality, And Health Insurance: The Compounded Problems Of Healthist Discrimination
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Healthism can identify situations where a person is subject to a particular form of bigotry based on their individual health status. In health insurance, some forms of healthism are unavoidable due to the very nature of health insurance structures. However, when analyzing health insurance programs, particularly those that are funded through government, it is possible to utilize a healthism framework to, first, recognize and minimize and potentially ameliorate the worst effects of healthism combined with intersectionality. This Essay analyzes these issues as they relate to health insurance, Medicare, and the potential role of the Independent Payment Advisory Board.

U.S. V. Rxdepot: The Battle Between Canadian Store-Front Companies, The Fda And Brand-Name Companies, Michael Rosenquist
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Prescription drugs are taken by millions of Americans each year for everything from seasonal allergies to beating cancer. However, millions of Americans each year are without health insurance of some form of prescription drug coverage. When the costs of prescriptions are beyond those Americans' reach, where should they turn to for help? RxDepot, Inc. was a company founded by an entrepreneur, Carl Moore, who believed he had the answer to the problem. In 2002, he began opening stores in the United States where customers could bring in the prescription, have it sent to a Canadian pharmacy, and receive their prescriptions …
A Battle Over Birth "Control": Legal And Legislative Employer Prescription Contraception Benefit Mandates, C. Keanin Loomis
A Battle Over Birth "Control": Legal And Legislative Employer Prescription Contraception Benefit Mandates, C. Keanin Loomis
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), employers are prohibited from discriminating against women by treating pregnancy and childbirth different from other medical conditions. Employers who offer medical benefits to their employees have thus been required to cover pregnancy-related medical costs on the same terms as other medical coverage. The cost of prescription contraception, however, has generally not been covered by employer-sponsored medical plans, even while other prescription drugs were. This Note examines the recent case of Erickson v. Bartell Drug Co., which challenged this practice of excluding prescription contraception coverage as discriminatory under the PDA, and argues that further federal …
