Health and Disability Insurance Law

    The Health & Disability Committee concentrates on matters relating to health, disability, long-term care, accident, medical and hospital expense insurance contracts. We examine the laws and the regulation of laws governing the health and disability areas, including state insurance laws, ERISA, ADA, and COBRA, and the interplay between state and federal law.

    Message from the Chair

    Adam Garner

    I am excited to serve as the Chair of the Health and Disability Insurance Committee for the 2020-21 bar year. I want to thank my predecessor, Sherril Colombo, for her great leadership last year and her continued mentorship as I assume the Chair of the Committee. I also want to thank our Chair-Elect, Nicole True, for her invaluable assistance with the Committee. Leading the Committee is a significant undertaking and is not possible without the support of the leadership team, the ABA’s support personnel, and each of our Committee members.
