The tech-forward insurer Oscar Health has tapped former Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini to be its new chief executive, a move to jump-start the business as it seeks to win new customers and become profitable.
Bertolini, 66, is a progressive thinker in the use of technology to deliver health services and has already been advising Oscar for the past 18 months. His appointment gives him an opportunity to put a stamp on the future of digital services and analytics in the industry he has served for four decades.
“I’m returning to the health care industry because I believe there is still work to be done,” Bertolini said during a conference call to announce his appointment on Tuesday. He said Oscar presents a unique opportunity to challenge the status quo in the industry and accelerate the shift toward a more “consumer-oriented” business model.
