Cox, a 20-year healthcare veteran with more than a decade of experience in business development and product management, will play a pivotal role in developing product strategy and assembling an expert team to deliver cost-effective products and solutions for providers, patients and payers.

His accomplished career also includes responsibilities for enterprise solutions at Misys Healthcare Systems and real-time claims solutions for Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. \
“My passion for healthcare began watching my father deliver care as an ear, nose and throat doctor and grew exponentially as I studied medical humanities at Davidson College and then entered the rapidly changing healthcare field,” said Cox. “Now, I’m on a mission to fix healthcare and I’m excited to take on that challenge with my talented colleagues at Lumeris.”
Cox resides in Chapel Hill, N.C., with his wife and three sons.
