BHC Appoints New VP of Payer Relations

Bellevue Healthcare welcomes Melissa Lavin as our new VP of Payer Relations where she will be instrumental in the development of Bellevue’s managed care programs.

Originally from Lexington, Massachusetts, Melissa has always had an affinity for caring for the vulnerable in our society especially the elderly. While in high school, she worked in nursing homes. She graduated from the University of Vermont with a BS in Nutrition Sciences and become a registered Dietitian working in Long Term Care and Hospice. Motivated to improve patient care, her career direction evolved into managed care contracting where she could develop programs that both grow market share and provide quality services for patients.

Melissa has worked in the durable medical industry for over ten years and was the Vice President of Managed Care for a regional home medical equipment company in California before joining Bellevue Healthcare. In 2017 she became BHC’s Vice President of Payer Relations.

She looks forward to helping BHC grow and innovate. “ I believe there is a huge need for quality durable medical equipment services that focus on customer service and I want to be part of growing our business in a sustainable way.”
