Kristen Chekan

She is her client’s go-to person for benefits information, rates, and day-to-day questions. Kristen also works closely with the insurance carriers to solve issues. Prior to her role here at MBS, Kristen was an Account Service Manager with UPMC Health Plan. MBS was one of her clients, so she became very familiar with the company before jumping on board. Kristen is looking forward to building strong relationships with her clients in the growing company.
