Meg Koepke

Meg Koepke, MHA, is a seasoned leader in both government and the private sector leading strategy and implementation of population health and value-based care improvement across Medicare, Medicaid and commercially insured populations. She started her career as care coordinator for a home intravenous infusion company serving patients with chronic and terminal illness where she learned early on how right care, right place, and right time are more dream than reality for many patients and their health coverage. Together with early experiences navigating care and treatment as a patient and family member, Meg developed a true north for continuously improving the link between health policy, strategy and operations. Her areas of expertise include CMS regulatory and payment policy, population health, value-based care model design, strategy and operations.

From 2017-2023, Meg has worked in consulting roles within the health care industry, serving private and public sector clients with strategy and operations to support population health, alternative payment models, and patient engagement. Meg joined the CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) in 2014, to lead the adaption and scale of alternative payment model tests of change in primary care, ACOs, Medicare-Medicaid integration, Medicare Advantage, and special population models. While there, Meg was a champion integrating care for dual eligible populations, increasing paths to accountable care for rural communities, and engaging stakeholders with on-the-ground experience in population health improvement to improve value-based care across all programs. Meg has an MHA from University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
