About Eric van Allen

TEAM LEADERSHIP P&L MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INNOVATION TURNAROUND & EXPANSION BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT The cornerstone of my career has been to help companies achieve growth and sustainable value while improving the delivery of care for members and stakeholders. A senior-level leader, I am known for driving business development, innovative program management, and marshaling broad stakeholder/partner engagements to deliver the most complex and high-profile healthcare/managed care opportunities without missing a single contract in negotiations. I possess an extensive provider, policymaker, and payer background, coupled with deep knowledge of Medicare/Medicaid, alternative delivery models, reimbursement strategies, and hard-to-serve populations. My broad operational expertise in Clinical Innovation, Network Development and Strategic Partnering, and Health Plan Operations has been acquired through multiple implementations over the past 20 years and as a direct Market Leader / P&L owner. In addition, I excel at cultivating a culture of success and building loyal teams that consistently exceed expectations. A few examples of my contributions include: Led a sales team at CareSource that increased top-line revenue from 10.2B to over 20B from 2021 to date.Added two new state partners to a struggling contract in less than one year. Renegotiated base funding (through lobbying the Kansas legislature), securing the first increase over 10 years.Won Massachusetts’s statewide Medicaid behavioral health management program, the largest win in company history ($525M), brought significant innovation to the MA market, including a pioneering chronic care management program focused on co-morbid significant behavioral health and chronic medical conditions.Introduced managed behavioral healthcare to the State of Kansas and oversaw successful creation and deployment of a first-in-state provider-sponsored managed behavioral health program.Any posts, comments, or messages and all opinions expressed within are my own.

   As Arkansas Market President at CareSource, I lead a high performing executive team to deliver compassionate, high value care across the PASSE Program. I own P&L for a $200M Arkansas portfolio, advancing market growth, member satisfaction, and quality—including HEDIS—while deepening provider partnerships and overseeing contracting.
