About the Presenter:
Chaunta Tsegaye received her BAA degree in Entrepreneurship and her Masters Degree in Public Administration from Central Michigan University. She began working at Beaumont Health Systems in 2011. Chaunta was responsible for pediatric speech, physical and occupational therapy, customer billing concerns and coordinating with staff to ensure the best plan of care for patients. One of the main components of her position was helping parents navigate the insurance benefits offered to them by their employers, or through state funded services. This position increased her knowledge of insurance utilization, contract rates, and prior authorization processes.

Chaunta is responsible for helping families learn about the options available for additional insurance plans, appeals/denials, and also helping adult members find the best available health insurance options. Chaunta’s role at AAoM has expanded to include Community Outreach for underserved communities. Chaunta is inspired by the uniqueness of the services required by those in the disability community, especially Autism and she maintains her competency through continuous education opportunities.
