Lorraine Buis, Ph.D., assistant professor and health informatics researcher, with her colleague at Wayne State University School of Medicine Phillip Levy, M.D., M.P.H., wrote an op-ed in the Detroit Free Press on why more insurance plans should cover inexpensive home blood pressure monitors. With new changes to Medicare Advantage plans, according to Buis, now is the time for all insurers to embrace this proven preventive health tool.
Buis is a 2018 Health Policy Fellow at the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation (CHRT) where she received specialized training in translating health services research into effective advocacy and policy change.
