Geisinger names longtime insurance executive as new president of Geisinger Health Plan
DANVILLE, Pa. – Jeremy Gaskill is the new president of Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) and executive vice president of insurance operations for Geisinger, effective Feb. 23. He joins GHP after more than 2 decades at Humana, where he most recently served as the national insurance carrier’s central region president for Medicare, overseeing a 9-state region based in Kansas City, Kan.
“Throughout his career, Jeremy has demonstrated the ability to turn around challenged markets, lead large‑scale organizational transformation and deliver sustained performance,” said Terry Gilliland, M.D., Geisinger’s president and chief executive officer. “His experience, leadership, strategic vision and commitment to advancing high‑quality care will be tremendous assets as we continue building a strong, sustainable future for GHP. I look forward to the leadership and energy he’ll bring to our organization.”
Gaskill’s Humana experience included overseeing the growth of the organization’s network of providers and managing commercial and government business lines, including Medicare and Medicaid, for various regions.
“This is a transformational time for healthcare in this country, particularly for payers as we prepare for major impacts from the pending changes to government-funded programs,” said Gaskill. “I believe GHP is poised to build on its legacy of providing comprehensive health insurance coverage for Pennsylvanians by offering innovative approaches for its members in the years to come. I’m thrilled to join the team in leading those efforts.”
Gaskill takes over the position of GHP president from Karen Murphy, who stepped into the job last March after having served in a variety of other leadership roles at Geisinger for several years.
“I want to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Karen for her leadership in stabilizing GHP and reducing operating losses over the past year,” added Dr. Gilliland. “Jeremy and Karen will work closely together to ensure a seamless leadership transition for the health plan.”
