The Pros and Cons of Self-Disclosure: Q&A With Karen Lovitch
Health Care and Health Law Practice Chair Karen Lovitch was featured in a Q&A by Laboratory Economics about the pros and cons of companies and clinical labs self-disclosing potential civil and criminal violations.
She says, “Labs have to work with their legal counsel and weigh the costs and benefits of self-disclosure. For example, if it’s not 100% clear that you have a legal violation, you may choose not to disclose. In some cases, you may have to make admissions of fact in a settlement agreement, and you would have to be prepared to do that.”
