When Mirlis thought he had seen the worst or most difficult or most shocking things that skilled nursing could possibly experience, something else occurred. That was when hurricanes Sandy and Irene hit Mr. Mirlis. He remembers thinking, “Wow, that will definitely be the most difficult thing we've ever done, evacuating 120 patients.” At that moment, they were stunned by COVID-19. When they initially thought they had seen everything, they were forced to endure something even more awful. It was an experience, to say the least. As a consequence, everything changes and everyone is learning constantly.
His responsibilities included the management of all of RegalCare’s benefit plans, including the HMO, behavioral health, primary care case management, and senior care programs. For each of these programs he designed and supervised the execution of procurements as well as ongoing vendor performance management. He was also responsible for new managed care program development for RegalCare, including RegalCare’s HCFA 1115 health reform waiver and its 1115 Medicare Medicaid dual-eligible waiver.
