Katelyn M. Fisher

Insurance Regulatory Compliance

Katelyn helps health insurance companies, HMOs, and dental plans navigate the ever-changing health insurance regulatory climate. She has extensive experience advising health insurers and HMO clients on the complex overlay of state and federal health insurance regulation when offering Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicaid Managed Care Plans, and/or individual and group health insurance coverage (including those offered inside and outside of state and federal Health Insurance Marketplaces). Katelyn helps these clients understand and comply with applicable federal and state insurance statutes and regulations, including requirements related to holding company act transactions, marketing and sales practices, vendor contracting, federal essential health benefits (EHBs), state benefit mandates, health and dental product filings, state financial exams, and state licensing and financial solvency. Katelyn provides practical, day-to-day compliance guidance that aligns regulatory requirements with operational realities, allowing her to guide clients through overlapping and evolving regulatory frameworks.

Transactions

Katelyn advises on the regulatory aspects of transactions involving health insurers and HMOs, including assumption reinsurance, asset purchase agreements, management and administrative services agreements, and holding company act transactions. She is often engaged to guide clients through regulatory requirements tied to acquisitions, restructurings, and market exits, including compliance considerations when a business is being wound down or integrated into a larger transaction.

Prior Experience

Before joining Faegre Drinker, Katelyn worked as a legal intern for Wishard Health Services (now Eskenazi Hospital) in Indianapolis and summer session legislative intern with Indiana Senator Evan Bayh in Washington, D.C. She also served as a volunteer English teacher for Christel House Mexico in Mexico City.

Personal Interests

When she isn’t in the office, Katelyn loves spending time and traveling with her husband and their four young boys. She also enjoys cooking — constantly trying new recipes to appease the boys’ growing appetites!
