| Of Counsel, Newbery Ungerer & Hickert | 2008-Current |
| Upon retiring after 30 years as General Counsel and subsequently Senior Vice-President at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, I joined with my friends a Newbery Ungerer & Hickert in an of counsel role. In addition to my own practice in business and corporate law and health care law, I assist their commercial, estate, tax, and trust specialization in areas of constitutional law, administrative law, and employee benefits law, including ERISA issues. |
| Adjunct Professor, Health Law and Policy, Washburn University School of Law - Washburn University | 2003-Current |
| I've been honored and excited to teach Health Law and Policy for more than five years. The course is a comprehensive survey of both legal and policy issues in the health care environment regarding financing reform, ERISA, antitrust, HIPAA, malpractice, bioethics, licensure of health care providers, and other subjects. |
| Senior Vice-President, General Counsel & Secretary, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas | 1978-2008 |
| As general counsel for the largest health insurer in Kansas, I led a legal team that addressed antitrust challenges, corporate restructuring, tax issues, employment and employee benefit concerns, corporate governance, ERISA, legislative relations and lobbying, administrative law issues, contract development, and a myriad of other legal matters. During the last five years of my service, not only the legal department but also the Information Technology Division and Medicare administration reported to me, and throughout my tenure I served as corporate secretary and counsel to subsidiary life insurance companies and health maintenance organizations. |
