Igxtelle Mbah-Acha Dopgima
Attorney
I bring over a decade of legal experience, with a concentrated focus on healthcare law and regulatory compliance. I have served as an arbitrator and mediator in thousands of disputes involving provider-payer reimbursement, medical necessity, billing practices, and balance billing, including under the No Surprises Act Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) framework. My legal background spans both private practice and institutional counsel roles, allowing me to appreciate the practical concerns of providers, plans, and patients. As a licensed attorney in New York, Texas, and Washington, D.C., I have deep familiarity with federal and state healthcare regulations, including Medicare/Medicaid compliance, utilization review, and managed care contracting. I am committed to neutrality, clarity, and efficiency in dispute resolution, and I approach each matter with fairness, attention to detail, and respect for the parties’ interests. My experience uniquely positions me to serve as a trusted neutral who understands the complex intersection of law, healthcare delivery, and reimbursement policy.
