She is well-versed in value-based care payment models and the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Program.
Jeanne drafts services agreements as needed to support healthcare operations, including agreements implementing friendly medical corporation models, hospital-based physician contracts, management agreements, medical director agreements, and various other contracts for services.
Jeanne provides Medicare and Medi-Cal enrollment assistance for changes of ownership and to reinstate billing privileges by filing for Corrective Action Plans, requests for reconsideration, and enrollment appeals. She was previously the Chair of the Regulation, Accreditation & Payment Practice Group of the American Health Law Association (“AHLA”) and was the founding chair of the AHLA Accreditation, Certification and Enrollment Affinity Group from 2012-2015.
