Jeff D. Emerson has been named Executive Vice President/Public Sector for ValueOptions, one of the nation’s largest managed behavioral healthcare providers.
Emerson will be responsible for nearly all aspects of ValueOptions public sector business operations nationwide. Operations in Arizona and New Mexico will continue to report directly to CEO Barbara Hill.
Most recently, Emerson was Executive Vice President for Specialty Products and Employer Solutions and the Chief Information Officer for Magellan Health Services. In these strategic business units, he was responsible for government, corporate and Taft-Hartley clients. He also spearheaded development and implementation of new products and services, including disease and pharmacy management programs, and led the company’s information systems departments.
“Jeff’s industry knowledge and background bring an added dimension to our organization to further support the mission to successfully manage publicly funded behavioral healthcare programs,” Hill said.
“We are delighted to have someone with Jeff’s track record and dynamic leadership skills join the ValueOptions team,” said Michele Alfano, Chief Operating Office for ValueOptions. “Jeff’s extensive experience in operational, marketing, financial, government and regulatory areas makes him a perfect fit.”
Prior to joining Magellan, Emerson headed the Mid-Atlantic region for both CIGNA HealthCare and NYLCare Health Plans. Before that, he was CEO of Sanus Health Plan in Washington, D.C.
Emerson will be based at the ValueOptions national office in Norfolk, Va.
