Simone Wilkinson

Leveraging over two decades of experience within the health insurance and legal industries, Simone Wilkinson joined Leavitt Great West Insurance in November 2020.

As the Employee Benefit Director of Risk Management, Simone works with a team of data analysts to view data through multiple lenses with a focus on early risk detection before high-dollar spend. This work pays off, with over $6.5 million in reported savings for years 2022 and 2023 combined for our self-funded Captive groups. 

Possessing a highly-technical skill set in managed care, Simone's history includes payer pricing and contracting with healthcare providers, progressive benefit insight, and extensive claim experience, which cumulatively provides a proactive approach to unique scenarios experienced by healthcare consumers and employers.

Prior to her roles in health insurance, Simone worked as a paralegal for eleven years with a primary focus on medical malpractice, litigation assistance, subrogation, case-law research, and trial support to counsel. 

After the last of her two children graduated from high school, Simone found her way from Texas to Montana in 2014. In constant awe of the wildlife, backroads, paddleboarding, and hiking Montana provided, she also met and married her native Montanan, John. In 2021, they moved to Kentucky but still return to Montana as opportunity allows.
