Nyhan Celebrates National Nurses Week
In honor of National Nurses Week, Nyhan is proud to spotlight the invaluable contributions of our Nurse Consultants, Andrea Hritz and Jennifer C. McClain. The two combine decades of clinical work with legal acumen to support clients in the complex fields of workers’ compensation and Medicare Secondary Payer.
As one of the first Medicare set-aside nurses in the industry, Andrea helped set the standard for life care planning in the workers’ compensation arena and is a Certified Nurse Life Care Planner and Certified Medicare Secondary Payer. She utilizes her knowledge attained as a former critical care unit nurse and former nurse case manager of an HMO to project the need for future medical services and treatment for each claimant and analyzes medical records, pharmacy records, and payment histories to draft life care plans.
Jennifer has spent more than two decades working in the areas of intensive care, cardiac care, long-term acute care, hospital administration, and as a certified case manager (CCM) and has transitioned her unique skill set to the MSP compliance arena. She provides assistance to clients in both plaintiff and defense-related cases, using her vast medical knowledge and extensive experience in MSP compliance to provide clients with comprehensive and accurate Medicare Set Asides and Medical Cost Projections for the most catastrophic of cases.
National Nurses Week spans from May 6 to May 12 every year, extending recognition to all nurses with a week-long celebration. National Nurses week is supported and encouraged by the American Nurses Association through state and direct nurse associations, educational facilities, independent health care companies, and more.
