Jackson Women’s Health Org. on Tuesday, July 12, 2022.
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning the constitutional right to abortion services established nearly 50 years ago under Roe v. Wade. The Dobbs decision removes the federal protection of abortion rights and enables each state to set its own legal requirements regarding abortions. The panel will discuss the legal implications of Dobbs for both insured and self-funded group health plans, employee benefit plan options and possible design changes, medical travel reimbursements, ERISA preemption issues, and legal compliance.
