Eric Hammelman is a data-driven analyst who has spent his career overseeing healthcare data, risk adjustment and data analytics teams and projects. His experience includes serving as staff vice president with Anthem and vice president with Avalere Health. A leader in translating complex data analytics into actionable business strategies for healthcare entities, Eric has directed teams to conduct data-driven analyses of the impact of payment policies on healthcare patterns, including the effects of emerging payment and delivery models on providers, manufacturers and health plans.
Most recently, Eric led a risk adjustment analytics team for Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care Act business lines. During his tenure, the team identified and implemented several new processes to expand the risk adjustment operations by more efficiently engaging members and physicians.
