Meet Your Instructor, Andrew Briggs

Andrew has been working and living healthcare technology for over 10 years. After spending time in the customer service, account management and security and compliance realms of the health-tech industry, in 2018 Andrew helped found Trifecta General Counsel, a health-tech focused boutique law firm in Madison, WI. During his time at Trifecta, and now as a partner at Michael Best, Andrew has been on the front lines of working with healthcare companies at all stages of their business, with an increasing focus and specialization on issues specific to digital and telehealth providers. Andrew’s combination of client focused service, and health tech background makes him one of the friendliest health care nerds that you’d ever hope to meet. He’s definitely a lawyer you want on your team.

Andrew is a graduate of University of Wisconsin Law School, and he and his wife still live in Madison, with their new baby and a rowdy 3-year-old chihuahua-pug mix. When he’s not working or spending time with family, you’ll probably find Andrew out sailing on one of Madison’s beautiful lakes, or in his garage, engaged in his new winter hobby, painting tabletop wargame miniatures.

Course Syllabus & Schedule

Module 1

Day 1

Regulatory Foundations

We'll build your regulatory toolkit using a "what is it, why it matters, how to deal with it" format for each topic. We'll cover data privacy (HIPAA, state laws, GDPR), AI/ML ethics, Anti-Kickback Statute for SaaS, communication rules (TCPA, CAN-SPAM), and FDA regulations for Software as a Medical Device including real examples of problematic marketing. We'll also discuss CMS's role with Medicare and Medicaid, Information Blocking rules, and accessing health data as an app developer.

Module 2

Day 2

Commercial Contracting Foundations

Today is all about contracts. We'll overview common agreement types (MNDAs, MSAs, BAAs, SOW/Order Forms, regulatory addenda) and dig into key negotiated terms: IP and work product, limitation of liability, indemnification, termination, assignment, data use, security certifications (SOC-2, HITRUST), and SLAs. Each in a "what is it, why you should care" format so you'll understand what you're actually signing.

Module 3

Day 3

Selling to Payers and Providers

Two experts from the Michael Best Healthcare Innovation team join us - one from a health plan, one from a health system. They'll show us how buyers view those Day 2 terms and share sales strategies from legal and business perspectives. We'll cover procurement processes, buying cycles and seasonality (Open Enrollment), health system vs. health plan differences, the problems they're solving, and how they approach contracting. Plus plenty of Q&A time.

Module 4

Day 4

Bonus - Formation and Foundations

If you’re totally new to starting a business, we’ll talk about the very first steps. Which entity you should use, how to think about governance between founders, what goes into raising money, and IP/Trademark protections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?

Anyone that is building a telemedicine-first business that’s exploring different structures or reimbursement models. Or if you just like hanging out with legal teams for some reason.

How much is it?

It’s free! This is the only time you’ll probably ever hear a lawyer say that.

Do I have to be at every session?

No, but we’ll be sad if you don’t come.

Will you give me legal advice for my company?

How many times do we have to give you this disclaimer? Nothing we said should be construed as legal advice. But we’ll have time for Q&A and try to point you in the right direction.
