I'm confident his leadership in the CareSource HealthAlliance will set a national standard in health care.”
Moore transitions to the role after serving as the vice president of network development at CareSource, building out its hospital and provider networks in growth markets and playing a pivotal role in developing innovative value-based arrangements to ensure accessible, high-quality networks for its members. Prior to CareSource, Moore was the vice president and chief network officer at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City.
"I am honored to be a part of CareSource, a mission-centric company dedicated to transforming health care and improving the lives of individuals and families,” said Moore. “This commitment aligns perfectly with my own values, and I am eager to contribute to the impactful work we do for our members and communities."
Moore also spent 10 years at Children’s Mercy Hospital & Clinics where he served as the senior director of payer relations and operations. In this capacity, he managed contracts with payers and oversaw operations for Children’s Mercy Integrated Care Solutions, the health systems accountable care organization that provides services for thousands of KanCare recipients. In his years at Children’s Mercy, Moore worked closely with Kansas regulators, legislators and key health care stakeholders across the state.
