Health plan administration platform Flume Health recently announced that Ann Joo Kim has joined the company as chief operating officer. The former Haven program director and longtime insurance executive is tasked with scaling operations to accelerate Flume’s adoption by self-insured employers.
- New Generation health plan: Flume Health launched in 2020, is a new generation of health plan administrators (TPA) intentionally built to reduce healthcare costs, improve quality of care and transform the user experience for both employers and members.
- Legacy replacement: Flume’s administrator model allows self-insured employers and their workforces to unbundle their health plans and augment or replace legacy off-the-shelf plans with specialized providers who address specific populations with conditions such as MSK, pain, diabetes, mental health, and many more.
- A solution to core issues: “I’ve always been passionate about healthcare and inspired to enact meaningful change in the system. Flume is a company that is truly attacking the core issues of how healthcare is delivered and managed,” said Ann Joo Kim, chief operating officer of Flume. “Building the fundamentals of processes and procedures, putting an infrastructure in place to make things more effective to improve Flume’s customers’ experience and engagement is a natural evolution of my healthcare journey and quest to be part of meaningful, dynamic transformation.”
- Effective combination: By marrying active employer and member engagement with tech- and data-forward products, Flume leapfrogs legacy health plan administrators’ capabilities. On average, Flume-designed plans save employers nearly $5,000 per employee per year.
- Efficient Administrator: “Ann knows where the hockey puck in healthcare innovation is headed. That she has chosen Flume as her next role is something we’re incredibly proud of,” said Cedric Kovacs-Johnson, founder and CEO of Flume Health. “Ann has built a career as a change-maker and do-er; exactly the experience we’re bringing to our customers and the industry by bringing transparency and efficiency to healthcare administration.”
