Dykieria Stevens, founder of Provider Plug
About Dykieria

Years in Medicare, on both sides of the relationship.

Dy's career began in 2016 as a Benefits Advisor in employer benefits — where she had a brief early introduction to Medicare — before moving fully into the industry through roles as a Medicare Agent, Market Manager, Broker Manager, and Regional Outreach Manager across Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. She later supported more than 17 provider offices from inside a value-based primary care organization.

Her perspective is built from lived experience on both sides of the table, not theory — which is what she brings to every conversation, panel, and interview.
