Melissa Cohen
Melissa Cohen, JD, MPA, has spent the last 15 years as a senior leader in both government and the private sector leading teams responsible for the design and implementation of alternative payment models in the Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial insurance programs to improve patient care. She started her career as an attorney for hospitals and health systems and learned early on how fragmented care and lack of access leads to poor patient outcomes. This led her to pursue a career in health care policy, strategy and operations and she has not looked back. Her areas of expertise include CMS regulatory and payment policy, value-based care model design, strategy and operations and provider network contracting.
