Soon after beginning his career as a healthcare attorney, he was a regulatory and transactions lawyer for Kaiser Permanente’s operations in several states, including California, and represented the health plans in matters before federal and state regulatory agencies, including the California Department of Managed Health Care. As a staff attorney for the CMS, Kevin was instrumental in the development of regulations and policy guidance implementing Medicare and Medicaid managed care, the group and individual health insurance reforms enacted under provisions of Title I of HIPAA, and the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE. Kevin was also a key legal advisor to the California Department of Health Care Services on major DHCS initiatives, including the Department’s overhaul of contracting standards and performance requirements for Medicaid managed care organizations, the expansion of coverage options for Medicare and Medicaid “dual-eligibles,” and the regulation of PACE organizations.
