Groom principal and co-chair of the firm’s Health Services group, Lisa Campbell, was featured by Bloomberg Law in the article, “RFK Jr. Puts Health Insurers in Limbo by Dropping Covid-19 Shot,” where she covered potential impacts on health plans after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to remove the Covid-19 vaccine from the Center for Disease Control’s (“CDC”) list of mandatory vaccines.
Bloomberg Law reported that Campbell said that “health plans will likely wait to see whether ACIP adopts Kennedy’s changes at its June meeting before altering coverage. But if a plan wanted to alter coverage beforehand, the legal argument gets a little ‘murky.’”
