Montara Pfannenstiel is Vice President of Vendor Management at Edison Health Solutions, where she oversees vendor strategy, contracting, and operational execution for self-funded employer health plans. She specializes in aligning advisors, providers, and solution partners to turn innovative plan design into measurable results for employers and members.

Montara entered the health benefits industry in 2017 at a third-party administrator, working across member services, claims, subrogation, vendor partnerships, and system operations. That operational foundation shapes her real world approach today, collaborating closely with PBMs, clinical vendors, and other provider partners to ensure solutions integrate effectively within the plan and function as intended. Her work focuses on vendor accountability, clear processes, and making sure members and providers experience the plan the way it was designed, not just the way it looks on paper.
