Humanity's primary care division is pair agnostic. We work with everybody who thinks that we can provide a great home for their members as our patients. And so I think actually a lot of the care delivery organizations that you look at that are owned by quote unquote,. payers are a part of them are actually pair agnostic or want to compare agnostic. Yeah, and would love to talk about how it's underutilized today. What are ways to better leverage primary care in your eyes? And then how do other organizations sort of how to start ups in the space emulate that kind of center of excellence that humanity has created?
Today, we’re excited to get to know Vivek Garg, CMO and SVP of Primary Care for Humana. Vivek currently leads national clinical strategy and excellence, care model development and innovation, and the clinical teams for Humana's Primary Care Organization (CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Center) as Chief Medical Officer (CMO), serving over 240,000 seniors across the country.
In this episode, Vivek shares his incredible journey from joining as the first medical director of One Medical and Oscar Health to serving as the CMO and CPO of Caremore to leading Humana’s Primary Care group, technology’s role in combating burnout, and tactical advice on working with larger health plans like Humana and tips on how to sell your first pilot (hint: it is not to sell your product at freemium).
