About Health Plan Alliance

Vision - The Health Plan Alliance will be recognized as a key enabler for member health plans to deliver exceptional service, drive transformational care, and champion health and well-being.

Mission - The Health Plan Alliance mission is to assemble health plans with similar values that will collaboratively join in performance improvement and market success.

About Us Health Plan Alliance members are provider-sponsored and independent health plans that work together through collaborative efforts to leverage their expertise, experience, and collective strengths. As the managed care industry is presented with new challenges and opportunities by health care reform, provider-sponsored and independent health plans can maintain their strategic focus on the local marketplace, while obtaining many of the advantages of a national company through the Alliance. Members leverage their capabilities through: • Sharing a broad base of knowledge • Incubating innovative approaches • Spreading performance improvement methods and best practices • Executing joint projects • Fostering business partnerships The Alliance’s formation began in 1995 when representatives from 8 health plans set a direction for the Alliance and worked with VHA Inc. to create an organization to address the specific needs of the provider-sponsored HMO market. The ownership structure, governance, and staffing were finalized and the LLC incorporated in June 1996 as the HMO Alliance. In 2004, the organization changed its name and added independent health plans to its membership. Throughout its history, Alliance members have focused on improving their financial, operational, and clinical performance and market position.

Alliance Membership As a membership organization, the Alliance looks for new members among other provider- sponsored and independent health plans. Members share many strategic and operational elements in common and can openly share and discuss information regarding product development, financial position, operations, medical management, and marketing to gain insight into best practices and accelerate innovation. Members join as either Shareholders or Partners and have common characteristics: • Ownership by providers or independent ownership with close working relationship on governance and management with hospitals and physicians • Not controlled or managed by publicly-traded HMOs or commercial insurance carriers • Not in direct competition with other members • Typically in secondary urban, suburban and rural markets • A leading plan in the market with a reputation for clinical quality and customer service

Jeff Hankoff, MD Medical Officer Cigna

I have been with Cigna since 2003. I began my Cigna career as Kelly Girl temporary employee medical director and worked my way up to part-time medical director, then full time lead medical director for California, Senior Medical Director, and now Medical Officer. Although officially situated in Glendale, California, I largely work from my home in Santa Barbara, California. My responsibilities include functional oversight nationally of utilization management including precertification, pharmacy, inpatient case management, and core case management. In addition, I have ownership of our High Profile Case Model, Genetic Testing, the medical management aspects of our vendor partner relationships, and Total Medical Cost.

Prior to joining Cigna, I was a practicing family physician for over 20 years. I cut my teeth in medical management first as the Chief of Staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and later as Medical Director of Santa Barbara Select IPA where I was responsible for the appropriateness of care for approximately 25,000 commercial and senior lives. With SBSIPA, I worked closely with two medical management companies – Medical Pathways and later Arcadian. Through Medical Pathways, I also served as medical director for several other medical groups managed by them throughout Southern and Central California.

I completed by undergraduate years in Humanities and Science at MIT and my medical school years at the University of California, Davis. I received my Family Medicine training at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. I have lived in Santa Barbara for nearly 35 years. My wife and I have been married for nearly 40 years. We have two children in their thirties - one an attorney in Los Angeles and the other has recently relocated to Maui with her husband. My non-working time is spent taking care of 2 nearly 12-year-old Boston Terriers. In a previous life, I completed 7 marathons including consecutive Los Angeles Marathons over a 5 year period. I no longer run having spent less and less time between injuries but continue to walk at least 35 miles per week. With the dogs, I have walked nearly 11,000 miles over the past 7 years while listening to now hundreds of different audio books.

Ed Hutt, MD Chief Medical Officer Community Health Group

Over forty-two years, Dr. Edward Hutt has developed a panoramic perspective and deep knowledge of HMOs, physician preferences, and the ever-evolving American health care scene. He left his private clinical practice in Compton in the mid-1980s “when the HMO industry was beginning to impact practices all over the place. Most of us in private practice felt that these were our enemies.”

That changed with familiarity, he continues, “What really inspired me was my knowledge of the gap between clinical physicians and managed-care executives, and I have acted as a kind of translator or glue between the two for 30 years now.”

When he came to CHG in 2007 as Chief Medical Officer, he had already served as Medical Director, Chief Medical Officer, and/or Director of Managed Care, and Vice President and corporate Medical Director for 12f major HMOs, as well as Physicians’ Groups and other Health Plans in Florida, Illinois, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, California, Virginia and Arizona.

Dr. Hutt is a graduate of The Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago, and he served his internship in Internal Medicine and a one-year residency in Pathology at UCSD Medical Center. He spent eight years as a clinician and manager of his own Family Practice and was Deputy District Health Officer for Los Angeles in Compton, CA.

Early in his career, when he moved away from his clinical duties into medical management, he earned more degrees and certificates, a master’s of business degree from The University of Phoenix, as well as graduate certifications in marketing, quality improvement and physician management. He has a long and impressive record for innovative network development, utilization management, contracting as well as direct medical management and multi-state management of medical directors.

“When I was young, I was quite idealistic,” Dr. Hutt says. “When I accepted a position as what was called a Medical Advisor at United Health Plan, I thought ‘I’m going to fix these communists and get back to my practice.’ It was a real shock to me to discover that the HMO business was a creation of my own patients who didn’t have the guts to tell me I charged too much and acted too much like I was on a pedestal. When I got into the medical business, I heard what I looked like from the other side!”

He describes an early “positional fight” with a Chief Operating Officer which brought the dawning realization that by being “right in the middle, between MBA types with no medical knowledge who are in charge and MDs who are completely patient based without a clue about business, there, in the middle, I could do some good. That middle position required a different set of skills, outside of clinical (expertise) and outside of management, too.”

Born in Evanston, Illinois, Dr. Hutt spent part of his childhood in south side Chicago, and the remainder with his grandmother who raised him in the small town of Watseka.

Presbyterian Healthcare Services is a 107-year-old locally owned and operated not-for-profit healthcare system known nationally for its extensive experience in integrating healthcare financing and delivery.

We still exist to improve the health of the patients, members and communities we serve.

PARTNERING IN VALUE-BASED CARE Due to our three decades of experience in managing care under a defined budget, we started exporting our expertise in 2016: North Carolina’s leading health systems selected Presbyterian Health Plan as a key partner in their collaboration to form a new Prepaid Health Plan for the state’s future Medicaid program.
