OFCCP and Long Term Care Providers: What's All the Fuss About?
James F. Henry, partner in the Birmingham office, will be presenting a webinar sponsored by the American Health Lawyers Association about the OFCCP and Long Term Care Providers on May 30, 2012.
It’s been more than a year since the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued an administrative directive to provide comprehensive guidance for assessing when healthcare providers and insurers are federal contractors or subcontractors and thus subject to specific affirmative action and equal employment opportunity requirements. That directive emphasizes that OFCCP will assess contract coverage on a case-by-case basis; nonetheless, the directive leaves open the possibility that OFCCP obligations may apply to healthcare providers and insurers as a result of their relationships (either directly or indirectly) with federal healthcare programs, such as the military’s TRICARE program, the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan, and even Medicare. Join your colleagues for a wide-ranging discussion of OFCCP jurisdiction, the status of litigation challenging that jurisdiction, and the requirements healthcare providers are subject to if OFCCP jurisdiction is found to apply.
