Kerie Rego, ESQ
Karie has a unique insight into how to resolve patient-related issues involving coverage and access. After her children had heart-related issues when younger, Karie started working with patients related to obtaining coverage of diagnostics and access to specialists in and out-of-network. Karie’s approach to dealing with payers is unique and addresses the fact that financial considerations, not a medical necessity, often drive decision-making. Karie focuses on issues related to lack of corporate training, responsibility, and oversight over the appeals process. Using this approach, it is possible to shorten and even circumvent the lengthy appeals and get patients the care they need. Karie works with other advocates, patient groups and providers as a resource for access-related issues.
