Thomas Duncan – CEO, Trusted Health Plan (District of Columbia) Inc.
Thomas Duncan attended Florida A & M University, School of Business, graduating Magna Cum Laude with an MBA. He began his healthcare career at a small community based hospital in Detroit, Michigan. Using analytics and metrics he built a stellar interdisciplinary team which created two profit centers for the hospital; a multi-specialty clinic serving over 10,000 patients and a 68 bed mental health unit. The mental health unit became licensed and JACHO certified within 9 months serving almost exclusively uninsured patients. Building on his success in team building serving the uninsured he then developed a company to serve the “underinsured”, Community Care LLC.
Through analysis of patient utilization patterns with and without care management and personal coaching, Thomas developed an initial approach to changing patients’ health behaviors utilizing partnerships with their providers. His next entrepreneurial venture was Care Compensation Specialists which specialized in Medicaid, TANF, ABAD, and SSI enrollment. This venture was immediately successful and resulted in a sale to Accretive Health (ticker AH) via a stock swap in July, 2007. He managed Medicaid revenue of over $900,000,000 for over 45 hospitals and delivered over $700 million in reimbursements previously uncovered.
Thomas M. Duncan is convinced that Medicaid based Managed Care Organizations not only have the opportunity but the responsibility to substantively improve the health outcomes of each of its members. Through years of experience Duncan has developed a model for managed care organizations to drive results by changing health behaviors using analytics, metrics and community based, personal outreach.
