The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Bryan Thompson has everyone talking about insurers’ use of faulty AI to deny insurance claims. I wrote about that a year ago and the piece should be coming out in a symposium issue of the Houston Journal of Health Law and Policy any day.

Won't you please "follow all" in the University of Oklahoma College of Law Starter Pack? Thank you! go.bsky.app/M9FLapE

A special thank you to OU Law alum Chris Punto for inviting me to speak at the Oklahoma Bar Association Health Law Section Annual Meeting today. We talked all things HIPAA, including litigation challenging the new reproductive health care privacy final rule, and overall had a wonderful afternoon.
