Dr. Teresa Bartlett

Biography

Dr. Bartlett joined Sedgwick in January 2009 as senior vice president, medical quality. She began her business career by joining a large automotive manufacturer. She spent 20 years managing large self-insured, multistate workers’ compensation programs as well as the WSIB Canadian program. This involved PPO and IME network development and management and claim and litigation management. The short-term disability (STD) program that Dr. Bartlett managed was union negotiated. She developed an evidence-based medical substantiation process, which saved millions of dollars and reversed the escalating STD trend. The long-term disability program was ERISA-based and was also supported by the evidence-based medical substantiation process. In conjunction with these programs, Dr. Bartlett developed a benchmark fraud detection system, which included both provider and employee fraud for both the United States and Canada.

Her most recent role before joining the Sedgwick team was planning, strategy and operations of healthcare benefits. This involved responsibility for developing a care management strategy, which encompassed the total spectrum of care from healthy through catastrophic, including mental health substance abuse and end of life hospice care. The span of her experience includes hospital bill audits, case management, disease management, focused disease management, quality initiatives, patient safety, review of new medical procedures and technology and medical utilization data analysis. During her career, she has had the opportunity to manage and mold wellness and fitness programs, which evolved into award-winning programs that were integrated into the benefit and claim structure. Dr. Bartlett was the recipient of the Crain’s Detroit Business 2008 Health Care Hero Award for bringing a new and innovative program to address back pain into the workplace.
