Approved Elimination of Bias CLE

Program:
On May 2, 2019, the
Federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) finalized a new regulation
that it titled, “Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care;
Delegations of Authority.” About a month later, on June 13, 2019, HHS also
proposed new Section 1557 regulations. Section 1557 is the anti-discrimination
provision of the Affordable Care Act. Under the Obama Administration, in 2016,
HHS had finalized its Section 1557 implementing regulations. Section 1557
prohibits discrimination in health care on the basis of sex and the original
regulations had defined “sex” to include gender identity. The new proposed
regulations would alter those regulations in a few different ways, notably to
eliminate the definition of “sex.”
Speaker Christy Hall will discuss these
regulatory changes and uncertainty and how that affects the health care rights
and protection of LGBTQ+ people. She will go beyond discussing the regulatory
changes to address underlying gender bias in the legal profession that may play
out in providing legal advice to health care clients. She will seek to provide a
greater understanding of gender diversity, and provide strategies for using this
new knowledge to overcome biases in the legal profession, allowing legal
professionals to provide the best advice to their health care clients as they
seek to follow these new regulations.
