Jeremy Gaskill, a Humana executive, has been named president of Geisinger Health Plan (GHP), the Danville-based medical provider announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Gaskill, whose duties include serving as executive vice president of insurance operations for Geisinger, assumed the position on Monday.<\/p>\n
He succeeds Karen Murphy, who stepped into the job last March after having served in a variety of other leadership roles at Geisinger for several years.<\/p>\n
Gaskill joins GHP after more than two decades at Humana, where he most recently served as the national insurance carrier\u2019s central region president for Medicare, overseeing a 9-state region based in Kansas City, Kansas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout his career, Jeremy has demonstrated the ability to turn around challenged markets, lead large-scale organizational transformation and deliver sustained performance,\u201d said Terry Gilliland, Geisinger\u2019s president and chief executive officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis experience, leadership, strategic vision and commitment to advancing high-quality care will be tremendous assets as we continue building a strong, sustainable future for GHP,\u201d Gilliland said. \u201cI look forward to the leadership and energy he\u2019ll bring to our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gaskill\u2019s Humana experience included overseeing the growth of the organization\u2019s network of providers and managing commercial and government business lines, including Medicare and Medicaid, for various regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a transformational time for healthcare in this country, particularly for payers as we prepare for major impacts from the pending changes to government-funded programs,\u201d Gaskill said. \u201cI believe GHP is poised to build on its legacy of providing comprehensive health insurance coverage for Pennsylvanians by offering innovative approaches for its members in the years to come. I\u2019m thrilled to join the team in leading those efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gilliland extended thanks and appreciation to Murphy for her leadership in stabilizing GHP and reducing operating losses over the past year. Gaskill and Murphy will work closely together to ensure a seamless leadership transition for the health plan, he said.<\/p>\n
Geisinger serves 1.2 million in urban and rural communities throughout central and northeastern Pennsylvania.
