ALBUQUERQUE – January 13, 2020 – After
another year of growth, positive health outcomes, and profitability, True
Health New Mexico announced today Mark Epstein, MD, MBA has been appointed
Chief Executive Officer for the health insurance company. Former CEO, Dr.
Martin Hickey, will now be Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Dr. Epstein has worked in the medical field in
New Mexico for almost 30 years, holding senior leadership roles with Lovelace
Health System, Presbyterian Healthcare Services, New Mexico Health Connections,
and True Health New Mexico. Additionally, Dr. Epstein is on the Board of Directors
of BeWellNM (the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange) and the Greater
Albuquerque Medical Association. He earned his medical degree from Yale School
of Medicine and his undergraduate degree from Stanford University. He also
earned an MBA from the University of Tennessee Physician Executive MBA program,
where he was named Outstanding Physician Leader.
Dr. Epstein developed the True Health New
Mexico’s innovative and high-impact approach to serving patients – using
advanced analytics and robust care management to address health issues
upstream, delivering improved outcomes at lower costs.
“It’s an exciting time to be in healthcare, as
people are living longer, and preventive health services like the ones our
health insurance plans offer are helping people improve their great quality of
life,” said Dr. Epstein. “As we head into 2020, we are excited to be continuing
to roll out innovations to healthcare delivery and making a marked impact on
the health of our communities.”
In addition to moving to Chairman of the Board
of Directors, Dr. Hickey also recently announced his campaign for the New
Mexico Senate District 20 seat. Dr. Hickey was the founding CEO of the state’s
nonprofit consumer oriented and operated health plan (CO-OP), which was
established through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). He led the CO-OP through the
challenging first years of the ACA and successfully established the partnership
with Evolent Health that resulted in the creation of True Health New Mexico.
“In my position as CEO of True Health New
Mexico, I had the opportunity to work with people across the state,” Dr. Hickey
explained. “What I’ve realized is now is the time for me to take decades of
business leadership and healthcare experience and make a different sort of
impact – at the legislative level.”
