The health group aptihealth, a tech-driven behavioral healthcare provider built for higher acuity care based in Saratoga Springs, has named Tim Koehler as president and chief operating officer.<\/p>\n

Koehler was chief operating officer at Bluestone Physician Services, where he spearheaded the company\u2019s market expansion and transition from fee-for-service to value-based care, including the creation of Bluestone ACO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Bluestone, Koehler built and led teams responsible for on-site medical care for high-risk patients living in residential care settings. As CEO and founder of Bluestone ACO, he created one of the highest performing ACO\u2019s in the country when measured by savings per beneficiary.<\/p>\n

Prior to Bluestone, Koehler spent nearly two decades at UnitedHealth Group (UHG), the 11th ranked company on the 2022 Fortune Global 500, in executive and management roles, the last of which was as president of the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (DPCA). At DPCA, Koehler\u00a0 <\/span>lead development of the business model to support all core operational functions including call center, claims, eligibility, payments, network operations, fulfillment, capacity planning, product development and a proprietary technology platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DPCA contracted with 27 UHC health plans and five non-UHC plans including three independent BCBS plans and over 350 self-funded employers.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>\u201cI am grateful to our entire aptihealth team for their dedication and hard work in helping us build a powerful, high-impact behavioral healthcare company,\u201d said Dan Pickett, CEO of aptihealth. \u201cWith the addition of Tim, a seasoned health care expert who brings a relentless focus and strong track record of driving growth, profitability, innovation and transformation; we are positioned well to accelerate the value we bring to all of our stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim\u2019s success at building a value-based care business that served a difficult and complex population\u2014similar to aptihealth\u2019s\u2014will enable us to effectively and profitably build upon our mission to transform care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Koehler joins aptihealth at a time of significant growth, having served more than ten thousand patients for leading national and regional health plans. aptihealth expects to more than double its patients in 2023, with a majority covered by value-based care contracts.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the first discussions with the team at aptihealth, I was impressed by the deep clinical science, compelling care models, and the rich and uniquely interactive technology platform the company created to serve individuals with complex behavioral healthcare needs. I am proud to be joining an organization with such a critical mission and with so many passionate employees. I look forward to guiding aptihealth as it accelerates its value-based care transformation and next stage of rapid growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials at aptihealth said the company is improving higher acuity behavioral healthcare for populations who need it most\u2014one patient at a time. Its virtual-first model and proprietary screening, assessment, and treatment programs give members fast, convenient access to precise, personalized care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company employs over 200 people and has raised over $65 million in funding from international private equity firms. Its care program and data insights are driving breakthroughs in mental health understanding, treatment, outcomes, and cost reduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
