I was key in the implementation of a successful Consumer Assistance Program setting up systems, risk management, hiring and supervising the manager, an associate and four volunteers who assist consumers to navigate their health insurance and negotiate their medical bills resulting in saving clients as of 2023 of over $7.3 million for just over consumers in since the program’s inception June 2018.
