Sellers Dorsey Names Former Medicaid Director Darin Gordon as Strategic Advisor
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 21, 2016 -- Sellers Dorsey announced today that Darin Gordon has partnered with the firm as a Senior Strategic Advisor. Mr. Gordon is the immediate past Medicaid Director in Tennessee, where he earned recognition for both his success and longevity in the role, having served for 10 years under governors from both political parties. By providing high-level strategic advice to Sellers Dorsey clients in the areas of Medicaid policy, financing, and operations, Mr. Gordon will expand the firm’s capacity and depth of experience in serving current and future clients of the firm.
As Director of TennCare, Tennessee’s Medicaid program, Gordon managed an $11 billion health care enterprise that provided services to 1.5 million Tennesseans. Gordon has nearly 20 years of experience in public health care finance, policy, and operations and has served in three different administrations. Prior to beginning his term in 2006 as the longest-serving Director of TennCare, he held key executive management positions within the organization, including Director of Managed Care Programs and Chief Financial Officer.
Under Darin Gordon’s leadership, the TennCare program maintained the lowest cost trend in the program’s history and had some of the lowest cost trends in the entire country. Mr. Gordon oversaw significant improvements in the program’s quality measures including raising patient satisfaction scores to a record high of 95%. As a result, TennCare has been nationally recognized for a variety of innovations in managed care and payment and delivery system reform.
