About Jorge A Nevarez
I’m a mission-driven healthcare executive with over 20 years of progressive leadership at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), where I led large-scale programs that shaped the nation’s Medicare, Medicaid, and Marketplace operations. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on driving innovation, operational excellence, and measurable improvements in quality, equity, and value across the healthcare system.At CMS, I oversaw multi-state operations, contractor oversight, and implementation of alternative payment models impacting more than 40 million beneficiaries and providers. I’ve managed complex portfolios exceeding $30 billion, led teams of 30+ professionals, and coordinated national responses to crises such as COVID-19 and Super Storm Sandy—ensuring continuity of care, fiscal integrity, and stakeholder trust.I thrive at the intersection of policy, operations, and innovation—translating strategic goals into actionable results. My work has consistently improved provider engagement, strengthened fraud and abuse prevention, and delivered operational efficiencies through technology, communication, and collaboration.Today, I’m seeking a senior healthcare operations or consulting leadership role where I can leverage my federal experience, policy insight, and commitment to service to help organizations enhance quality, advance health equity, and deliver sustainable outcomes for the people and communities they serve.
