Understanding Reimbursement: The Missing Link to Advancing Your Career Women’s Health

When we traveled the country last summer hosting events for the bipartisan Women’s Health PAC, one question kept coming up—no matter the city or the audience:

“How are you going to help us fix reimbursement?”

At the time, I didn’t fully grasp how deep the problem really was—until I heard Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald MD speak at our opening event. She connected the dots in a way I’d never heard before, and it changed the course of my year. Here’s what her latest research found:

Did you know that across 55 anatomically-equivalent procedures, 75% of the time the procedure done on the male was reimbursed at a 30% higher rate than the same procedure done on a female?

Infuriating isn’t it? But it’s more than that. It’s the crux of the major challenge in the business of women’s health - and it’s holding us all back.

Let’s start at the beginning:

🩺 What is Reimbursement?

In healthcare, reimbursement refers to the money that hospitals, doctors, clinics, and healthcare companies receive from insurance companies (both public, like Medicaid and Medicare, and private) to cover the cost of care. It’s not the price you see on a bill - it’s what actually gets paid back to the provider.

It determines:

  • How much time a doctor can spend with a patient

  • Whether a service (like fertility treatment or a menopause consult) is covered at all

  • Whether a hospital can afford to keep its labor & delivery unit open

If you’re building or working in women’s health - and you don’t understand reimbursement - you’re flying blind.

For example, do you know….

  • Why your doctor only spends 7–10 minutes with you? 👉 Reimbursement.

  • Why labor & delivery units closing across rural America? 👉 Reimbursement.

  • Why we will have a 22,000 OBGYN shortage by 2030? 👉 Reimbursement.

  • Why can’t we scale high-impact care models like doulas, group prenatal care, or menopause clinics? 👉 Reimbursement.

When we talked to industry leaders while building the Women’s Health PAC everyone agreed the system was broken - but nobody had a full list of what needed to change.

And no one was coordinating the conversation.

So on March 11, 2025 the Women’s Health Collective—the nonprofit arm of the Women’s Health PAC—hosted the first-ever Women’s Health Reimbursement Summit in NYC.

We brought together 57 executive industry leaders across healthcare, policy, investment, and innovation for a full-day working session focused on four core areas:

  • Fertility

  • The RUC Committee

  • Preventative Care

  • Maternal Health

These areas were selected as areas where we felt we could have the biggest impact with the current administration.

And we didn’t just talk—we rolled up our sleeves and began mapping out the first-ever coordinated policy recommendations for reimbursement reform in women’s health. We’ll be sharing those with the industry and with Secretary Kennedy and HHS leadership in the months ahead.

A huge thanks to the Tribunus team — experts in healthcare reimbursement - for helping us support our work.

Why This Matters for You

If you’re building, funding, or leading anything in women’s health, you need to understand how reimbursement works.

  • It shapes which services can scale

  • It drives how clinicians are paid (or not paid)

  • It influences which businesses get funded—and which can’t survive

Reimbursement may sound like a back-office issue, but it’s actually the core economic engine of care.

I’ve also realized that not many people understand how reimbursement in women’s health works. It’s complicated. It feels overwhelming. There are people I talk to who have been in this industry for YEARS who don’t fully understand the nuances. I don’t pretend to know all of the nuances, but I can definitely help you with the basics and that’s where we’re going to start.

In a few weeks, I’m going to lead a Women’s Health Reimbursement 101 webinar. I’d love to walk you through the building blocks of how women’s health reimbursement works — so we can make progress on this together.

Details below.

Keep hanging in there — you’ve got this.

🎓 Reimbursement 101: What Every Women’s Health Leader Needs to Know

We’ll walk you through:

  • What an RVU is (and how it determines clinician pay)

  • What the RUC Committee is and why it matters

  • How CMS sets the tone for what gets covered across the system

  • Why understanding reimbursement is a career accelerator—and a business essential—in women’s health

If you’ve taken our Mini-MBA or seen me speak this year, you know this is my soapbox. Because we can’t scale women’s health until we fix the incentives that hold it back.

This is the conversation behind every business model, every investment, and every care decision. Come learn the system—so you can help us change it.

📅 Join us for a Mindset-Shifting IWH Workshop with Executive Coach Taren Starrey to Land Your Dream Job in Women’s Health

I don’t often say someone changed my life—but Taren Sterry did. When I met her, I was stuck in a toxic job and a life that felt more reactive than intentional. Since then, she’s coached me through becoming a CEO, launching the Women’s Health PAC, building businesses, and now raising $900M to fund the future of women’s health.

This week, Taren is offering something special: a free mindset workshop for our women’s health community. It’s not about resumes or job hunting—it’s a reset for anyone navigating change, feeling stuck, or stepping into something bigger.

She’s the coach behind the coach, and now she’s sharing her brilliance with all of us. I hope you’ll join. Registration link and details below.

Whether you’re pivoting, up-leveling, or just starting out, this hour-long session will help you shift your mindset, sharpen your focus, and show up powerfully in key conversations.

What you’ll gain:

  • Strategies to shift your mindset from imposter syndrome in women’s health to highlighting your strengths to make you stand out from other candidates

  • Clarity on your non-negotiables and values so you stop settling

  • Tools to break through personal barriers and communicate with confidence

  • Coaching insights for interviews, applications, and salary negotiations

Led by Executive Coach Taren Sterry, MS, CT, ACCC, who has over 10,000 coaching hours and a unique perspective from 15 years in hospice care.

This isn’t a resume workshop—it's the mindset reset you need. Don’t miss your chance to learn from the coach behind the coach.

We have 180+ IWH members signed up so far, and spots are going fast!

🔎 Participate in Women’s Health Consumer Research

We have two opportunities to participate in women’s health consumer research this week. Research is a fantastic way to understand more about what’s happening in the ecosystem and what’s on the forefront of product development and the economics of women’s health.

  1. Women’s Health Collective Customer Research 

    1. We are currently building the AARP of Women’s Health through a new, yet-to-be-named organization. Building on the recent wave of bipartisan momentum with the Women’s Health PAC, this organization will ultimately provide a $900M war chest to be used to fund research, startups, policy, advocacy organizations, and candidates.

      But we can’t do this without you.

      We’re currently seeking individuals to share their personal experiences through a short survey or 1:1 interviews. Your voice will help guide the foundation of our work and ensure we are building an organization that truly reflects the needs and realities of women today.

      Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, provider, advocate, or simply someone who cares about women’s health—we want to hear from you.

      As a thank you, participants in this initial research will be invited to join as Foundational Members, with free access to our product and membership for one year.

🎓 Students Are Powering the Future of Women’s Health

Across campuses, students are turning women’s health into a serious career path.

✨ Success Stories: IWH Member Tara Brooke Joins TwentyEight Health as Enterprise Community Partnerships Lead

“When I first came across Twentyeight Health, it was thanks to a LinkedIn comment from Jodi in the IWH community. That one moment opened the door to a life-changing opportunity. I applied for a role, and even though it wasn’t the right fit, the woman who interviewed me saw potential and passed my name along for another position—one that turned out to be perfect.

Now, I’m thrilled to be joining Twentyeight Health as the Enterprise Community Partnerships Lead, where I’ll be focused on expanding access to reproductive healthcare for underserved communities across 43 states. It’s a mission I believe in deeply, and I’m proud to be part of a team driving real impact.
