About Stacey Benseler

I deliver regulatory and strategic leadership for healthcare and advocacy organizations; throughout tenures with high-profile companies, my focus has been regulatory advocacy and compliance, business opportunities, and strategy. I have deep industry experience, complemented by expertise across insurance programs, government regulations and superior capabilities in managing contracts, overseeing teams, and serving as a liaison to high-value partners and stakeholders.When it comes to regulatory affairs and compliance, I am the go-to person for evaluating the impacts of changes, delivering recommendations, identifying legislative trends, and crafting corporate responses to proposed legislation and proposals. My experience includes primarily Medicare and Medicaid regulations and sub regulatory guidance, and various other regulatory mandates (HIPAA, AKS, etc). In my business development work, I used strong analytical skills to assess new avenues for growth. By combining a strategic mindset with the ability to drive tactical operations, I have been able to deliver strong business results positively impacting revenue and growth.People management has been a big part of my career—I consider it my job not just to lead but to provide employees with the tools, knowledge, and encouragement that enables them to make independent decisions and become valuable contributors. My roles have also required extensive relationship building with government agencies and internal and external stakeholders; communication across all levels of my organization and with internal and external business partners requires deep understanding of the business (both operationally and organizationally) and of the intricacies surrounding state and national health programs and initiatives.Core strengths: Regulatory Affairs Management, Regulatory Compliance, Medicare Policy, Regulatory and Legislative Advocacy, Staff Management, Strategy Planning & Execution, Business Development, Contract Negotiations, Budget Management, Program Management, Relationship Management, Market Research & Analysis, Talent Development.
