Upcoming Events

Unique New York Webinar 16: Value-Added Products and Services - Exploring the Legal Landscape in New York and Beyond

Wednesday, February 26th, 2025 @ 02:00 PM
LICONY is partnering with our Allied Professional firm member, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, to present a Unique New York Webinar. This webinar will explore recent changes in statewide anti-rebating laws, namely those since 2020. Many states have adopted exemptions to age-old anti-rebating prohibitions within their unfair trade practice laws. These exceptions permit insurers to offer certain value-added products and services (“VAPs”) or wellness programs, so long as specific state requirements are met, including a nexus exists between the VAP and the underlying insurance product. This presentation will address these New York State-specific requirements and national trends. It will also cover New York’s relevant laws and regulatory guidance regarding both VAPs and wellness programs.
