Episode 137, Jun 18, 03:01 AM
In our latest "Meet the Board" podcast episode, Managed Healthcare Executive Editors caught up with board member, Eric Hunter, CEO of Care Oregon, to discuss a number of topics, with one including the merger that never closed with SCAN Health Plan due to local opposition from Oregonians, emphasizing the need for partnerships to meet scaling and capital requirements.
On the other hand, Hunter also praised Oregon's careful Medicaid redetermination, resulting in a smaller enrollment decline than expected.
He also highlighted a new preventive medicine residency program with Oregon Health and Science University to improve healthcare for populations most at need.
Before concluding the conversation with a question on what public official or figure of past or present he'd love to sit down over dinner with, Hunter briefly covered cybersecurity challenges and the potential impact of healthcare issues in the upcoming election.
