Speaker Bio
As the Senior Director of Payer Relations for the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF), Kollet’s responsibilities include the development and execution of NHF’s payer education strategies and programs, including the Comprehensive Care Sustainability Collaborative. Prior to her tenure at NHF, Kollet served as Executive Director of the Bleeding & Clotting Disorders Institute, a federally recognized Hemophilia Treatment Center of Excellence, where she managed both the clinical and specialty pharmacy programs/

As a disproportionate driver of healthcare spend, (hemophilia affects approx. 20,000 patients in the US and continually ranks amongst the top 15 highest cost claimants), Kollet believes the stage is set for all parties who share in the cost risks associated with this population, to engage in value based dialogue with provider experts to develop plan interventions and strategies, as opposed to the traditional model of giving away your healthcare brainpower to those who are often conflicted.

Kollet and her colleagues on the payer team at NHF are dedicated to facilitating these conversations, blueprinting strategies and providing transparent tools that will enable payers to realize a lower total cost of care without risking outcomes.
