PHILADELPHIA—There is little question that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will impact every American, but its ramifications on Workers' Compensation remains a subject of conjecture and speculation among legal experts and risk managers.
“It is so fluid a situation that we have to say to our clients that we don't have the answer; no one does,” says Catherine J. Flynn, an attorney at Weber, Gallagher, Simpson, Stapleton, Fires & Newby at an educational session April 11 during the Philly I-Day conference.
Holding up the 1,000-plus pages of the PPACA, Flynn says only eight pages directly relate to Workers Comp, but the rest of the law could have much greater implications for that line of coverage.
