She has gained further exposure to other aspects of the health care industry through her work at a public policy think-tank; a nonprofit, academic health system in Tennessee; the Washington, D.C., Department of Health; an academic teaching hospital in Washington; and a national nonprofit public health charitable organization focused on fetal alcohol syndrome.

Alexis founded and co-leads Epstein Becker Green’s (“EBG’s”) “No Surprises Act Focused Initiative,” where she analyzes legal, operational, and other considerations of the No Surprises Act and related laws to assist clients across the health care industry. She previously co-led the “100 Days Initiative,” where she tracked and analyzed notable legislative, policy, and regulatory developments under the Biden Administration to help clients anticipate trends in health care. She has served as a contributing author of EBG’s Telemental Health Laws app, a comprehensive survey of state telehealth laws, regulations, and policies for mental and behavioral health practitioners and stakeholders across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
