Katelyn Fisher

Katelyn Fisher represents insurance companies, HMOs, and other industry stakeholders on a wide range of insurance matters, with a focus on health insurance market reform, insurance regulatory compliance, insolvency matters, and holding company transactions. Her health insurance practice extends beyond individual and small group market compliance to encompass government-sponsored health programs, Medicaid and Medicare issues, and matters involving managed care organizations. She is known for her highly collaborative, relationship-driven approach—she values the people behind the work and partners closely with clients, investing the time to understand their businesses and goals so she can help them navigate complex regulatory challenges as a trusted, long-term advisor.

Fisher 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). She helps 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. She 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.

Before joining Faegre Drinker, Fisher worked as a legal intern for Wishard Health Services (now Eskenazi Hospital) in Indianapolis and as a 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.
