    Audio was inconsistent. One speaker was so soft that it made the other’s volume exceptionally loud. Bottom line, good content but the technical issue meant I bagged it half way thru

  • Good content; poor production

    The content is as good as you’d expect, but such a large organization can invest in better and more consistent sound quality. Listening, particularly on headphones, can be brutal.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hospital Mergers Under Pressure: The Remedies That Move Deals Forward
Q: How has the view on remedies changed at the federal level, and what should parties plan for in term of endgames?
There is a more open environment for remedies but not a guarantee of success; parties should plan for endgames by building a remedy strategy into deal strategy, including data room access, definitive agreements, and consideration of multi-jurisdictional concerns.
Hospital Mergers Under Pressure: The Remedies That Move Deals Forward
Q: What prompted Amanda Wait to write the article and why is the remedies question important now?
The FTC and DOJ leadership have signaled a renewed willingness to discuss negotiated settlements and remedies, making remedies a central tool to move deals forward rather than pursue full litigation; the article highlights pathways and cautions for how to use remedies effectively.
CMMI and the Next Generation of Alternative Payment Models
Q: Where might practitioners most commonly encounter CMMI models, and what are some of the prominent models or programs they should be aware of?
Practitioners most often encounter CMMI models through ACO collaborations (like REACH and NextGen ACOs), bundled payment programs (Bundle Payments for Care Improvement and CJRx), and emerging specialty-focused models (like ASM). These models typically involve partnerships with intermediaries such as ACOs rather than direct CMS contracts, with significant emphasis on risk sharing, data sharing, and contract-driven rules rather than formal CFR regulations.
CMMI and the Next Generation of Alternative Payment Models
Q: The whole focus of this discussion is about CMMI or the Innovation Center; what is CMMI and why should health lawyers or other health law practitioners be aware of it in their practice?
CMMI is a part of CMS created in 2010 to design, implement, and test new or revised health care payment and delivery models with the goal of lowering spending while preserving or improving quality. It operates via flexible, contract-based agreements rather than traditional rulemaking, enabling faster iteration and potential scaling of successful models. Health lawyers should understand the model structures, the nature of participation agreements, and the various risk arrangements to effectively advise providers and negotiate contracts.
HIPAA Security Rule Enforcement in 2026: Proposed Changes, Current Expectations, and Risk Management
Q: What are the most important proposed changes in the security rule NPRM to watch for if it is finalized?
The changes likely include stronger protections for business associates, expanded cybersecurity requirements, and a shift toward more prescriptive risk management practices, with heightened focus on how to manage vendor relationships and data sharing; however, it remains uncertain until final publication and there could be significant differences from the proposal.
