Kelly Ferguson serves as a paralegal and claims analyst for the firm’s Subrogation and Strategic Recovery Services practice, a group responsible for enforcing the rights of employers, third party administrators (TPAs), stop loss carriers, HMOs and self-insured plans that seek reimbursement of paid medical claims, as well as claims which have been overpaid as a result of waste, fraud or abuse. Her primary duties involve indentifying possible recovery opportunities by carefully analyzing initial accident information, police reports and medical and pharmaceutical claims data and then initiating further research to determine whether a subrogatable claim exists and recovery should be pursued on behalf of the client. In this role, she works closely with the firm’s employee benefits/ERISA attorneys and trial lawyers.
Prior to graduating cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Texas Christian University, Kelly served as news director and executive producer for TCU News Now. Following graduation, she worked as an account executive for a Dallas-based marketing firm for two years before returning to Oklahoma and joining McAfee & Taft in 2010.
