The ongoing pandemic and the transition to a new presidential administration are expected to have significant and lasting impacts on the health care industry, requiring health care providers, payors, and policymakers, and the lawyers who serve them, to continually evolve in the coming months and years.

Recognizing that some of the changes we have seen may represent a "new normal," in a world where technology and circumstances are driving change in an antiquated legal system, this year's NCBA Health Law Section program highlights some of the creative solutions providers have developed to continue delivering care and the legal and compliance risks that arise as a result. Other highlights include the government enforcement landscape, what providers and payors can expect in a post-pandemic world, and how to effectively prepare through robust compliance programs and an awareness of government enforcement initiatives and trends.

This program also focuses on the impact points where these changes bump up against the restrictions of the legal system, and best practices for providing services under COVID-19 waivers that have temporarily allowed activities that were once, and will soon again be, illegal. Also, hear about the long-awaited Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute Final Rules, including changes that every health care lawyer should understand.

We conclude with a discussion focusing on health care policy and what to expect from President Biden's administration, including an update on the Affordable Care Act and other pressing health policy initiatives expected to rise to the forefront in 2021.
