I am the Founder and Executive Director of Healthcare Advocacy, a firm that helps resolve patients’ benefit issues. I have an extensive background in managed care. I have served with two of the world's largest benefit consulting firms, several of the nation’s largest HMOs, and stints as head of managed care for subsidiaries of three of the country’s largest healthcare systems. My clients have included state insurance commissioners, state and city employee benefit plans, and Fortune 500 companies on healthcare benefits. Throughout my life, I have fought for healthcare that is accessible, affordable, and high quality. As an Appalachian native, I know all too well that healthcare can too often be substandard, inaccessible, demeaning, and too expensive. After thirty years in managed care, I want to use my experience to help you, the patient. Please visit me at www.healthcareadvocacy.org/.
