For the second episode, we spoke to Dr. Deneen Vojta, who spent the last 16 years at UnitedHealthcare, the largest non-governmental health payer in the US and the S&amp;P’s 8th largest company. Dr. Vojta is a physician-turned-entrepreneur, selling her company to United and then playing a pivotal role in the organization’s effort to provide more innovative care. We discussed how United has become much more than just an insurer (today, UHH is actually the largest employer of physicians in the US); why generating robust evidence is so important when interacting with payers, and how being scrappy is essential for engaging with nimble players, but there is also a limit to how slim you can be to keep payers excited to work with you. https://www.linkedin.com/in/deneenvojta/We would love to connect and have your feedback!Website: www.arkinholdings.com/healthcare-investments/digital-health/Linkedin (Arkin Digital Health): www.linkedin.com/company/arkin-digital-health/Linkedin (Dr. Nadav Shimoni): www.linkedin.com/in/nadav-shimoni-m-d-03992489More of our thoughts in “differential diagnosis” - Arkin Digital Health Blog: nadavshi.substack.com

Deneen Vojta || The Payers’ Perspective

Deneen Vojta has played virtually every possible position in the healthcare world.  She has at various times been a physician, an entrepreneur and a payer.  Today it’s a hat trick, bringing all three of these roles together to bring new clinically valid, evidence-based technologies and services to patients through her current role as Executive Vice President of Enterprise R&amp;D for United Health Group. Deneen has long been out there ahead of the pack, whether serving as the first female meat slicer at Greenman’s Deli or starting the first direct-to-consumer pediatric and family obesity-prevention technology company long before it was cool. Today she is charged with solving the nation’s biggest healthcare challenges from what is arguably one of the nation’s largest platforms.  And skating to where the puck is going is exactly what drives a rabid hockey fan like Deneen. We are delighted to host Deneen on Tech Tonics today. We are grateful to our sponsor, AARP Market Innovation. for supporting this episode of Tech Tonics. AARP Market Innovation, which works to spark innovation in the market that will benefit the quality of life for people over 50.
