Overview (Program Summary)
In recent months, employers have seen an alarming rise in class action lawsuits related to health plan surcharges imposed on tobacco users. These lawsuits, which allege violations of anti-discrimination and healthcare laws, have significant implications for businesses and their HR policies. Join Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys Joe Lazzarotti and René Thorne, along with Rob Falk, Chief Legal and Regulatory Affairs Officer at Truth Initiative, for a deep dive into the growing trend of tobacco-related health plan surcharges and the increasing number of class action claims against employers. We will cover the legal risks and compliance challenges facing employers, offering practical strategies for addressing surcharge policies, defending against lawsuits and ensuring that health plans comply with the latest legal developments.
