What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
I am a healthcare litigator, which means I am a lawyer specializing in disputes over healthcare cases on behalf of healthcare clients. At my current firm, we represent providers, hospitals, and physicians in their disputes.
Usually, the disputes we represent them in are with insurance companies and managed care companies. This means I must be able to advise our clients on their rights. I have to review and analyze contracts and draft briefs explaining why our clients should prevail.
My responsibilities can range daily from engaging in a paperwork fight over exchanged information to presenting oral arguments at arbitration or trial. It's not just words I work with; my job also involves working with the data that represents the claims data we are fighting over.
