US healthcare solutions provider Employee Benefits Management Services (EBMS) has appointed Alex Schott as CFO, and Matt Johnson as corporate counsel and vice president of legal.
EBMS said the move would further its goal of improving the quality, cost, and experience of healthcare for its customers.
The Montana-based company serves more than 275 organisations and nearly 150,000 employees and family members across the US.
Schott will join the EBMS executive team and will lead the company’s financial strategy teams.
Previously he served as senior vice president of strategic operations and interim chief accounting officer at BioScrip, a Denver-based provider of infusion and home-care management solutions.
Johnson, who has extensive experience in the health industry, leaves his previous role of lead counsel at Aetna as the primary counsel to American Health Holdings and Co-Counsel to Meritain Health.
EBMS president Kevin Larson said Schott’s accomplishments demonstrate his commitment to excellence in strategic leadership and technical acumen.
Larson commented: “His expertise in building, growing and scaling financial and accounting functions in healthcare organisations will be an asset to EBMS as we continue to expand our products and services to contain costs, improve care and simplify the benefit journey.”
Melissa Lyon, executive vice president of EBMS, added: “Matt Johnson will be a great addition to the legal and leadership team in partnership with our clients, brokers, and vendors, as we work together to change the way healthcare, is purchased and delivered.”
