Lee Mills McGrath joined Premera as the Senior Vice President of Provider Strategy & Solutions on September 11. Lee has spent several years working for the Blues, most recently as the Divisional Vice President of Network Strategy and Innovation at HCSC in Illinois. She was also President of Illinois Health Partners, a joint venture between DuPage Medical Group and Edward Health Ventures, one the largest clinically integrated networks in the Chicagoland area managing over 250,000 HMO and ACO patients.
Lee believes that solving the healthcare crisis is a call to action, and looks forward to continuing the great work being done today, and building on those tools to meet the future. She has extensive experience in both the provider and payer space, focused on payment reform and population management. “Every conversation I have with providers starts with relationship-building. Providers want to make healthcare better for people. And we can’t do that unless we create a relationship. I look forward to working with Premera’s provider partners to make healthcare work better.”
