Meg Koepke, MHA, is a seasoned leader in both government and the private sector leading strategy and implementation of population health and value-based care improvement across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercially insured populations. She started her career as a care coordinator for a home intravenous infusion company serving patients with chronic and terminal illnesses where she learned early on how the right care, right place, and right time are more dream than reality for many patients and their health coverage. Together with early experiences navigating care and treatment as a patient and family member, Meg developed a true north for continuously improving the link between health policy, strategy, and operations.  Her areas of expertise include CMS regulatory and payment policy, population health, value-based care model design, strategy, and operations.
