Jody’s creativity, substantive knowledge of both CMS and the Hill and perseverance gave us the tools to succeed.” - Lucinda Long, Vice President, Global Public Policy; Wyeth Pharmaceuticals
Leading Wexler & Walker’s extensive health practice, Jody Hoffman’s in-depth knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid financing, reimbursement and systems organization has driven client successes for more than 15 years.
Since joining Wexler & Walker in 1993, Ms. Hoffman has worked extensively on all aspects of health policy, from directing far-reaching legislative campaigns to guiding client product pipeline assessments and reimbursement strategies, managing regulatory proceedings and organizing grassroots mobilization.
In addition to her client work, for the past two Democratic Conventions, Ms. Hoffman worked, as a volunteer, on the podium operations teams. Working with a team of professionals, Ms. Hoffman has been part of the backstage staff as well as speaker tracking units operating at each convention.
Ms. Hoffman previously served on the Clinton/Gore campaign’s Health Care Advisory Group, coordinating a grassroots network of health care workers in support of the Democratic health care reform approach. As a health policy advisor for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), she provided expertise in crafting the organization’s health care position; developed and coordinated political strategies to advance key positions and represented the organization before state legislatures and the public.
A recognized expert in health policy financing, Ms. Hoffman has participated in studies on the impact of the Medicare hospital prospective payment system (PPS) on home health and nursing home utilization, indigent care and long-term care. This work has been published in several texts and periodicals.
