COLUMBIA, MD, UNITED STATES, October 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HealthCare Strategies (HCS), a medical cost management company serving self-insured employers, labor funds, TPAs, and health plans, today announced that Dr. Martin Graf has joined its Board of Directors. Dr. Graf brings more than 30 years of executive leadership and management consulting experience across payers, providers, and health systems.
Dr. Graf is a Senior Partner at Oliver Wyman, a global management consulting firm, where he leads the Health & Life Sciences Government Markets franchise, covering Medicare, Medicaid, and Marketplace, as well as the Pharmacy Services franchise. He has a track record of leading large-scale change at major healthcare organizations.
“Martin has spent his career working on the exact problems our clients face,” said Ashok Sudarshan, CEO of HealthCare Strategies. “His experience across Medicare, Medicaid, Marketplace, and pharmacy services lines up directly with the populations and cost drivers that matter most to the plans and funds we serve, and his perspective will help us sharpen how we identify high-risk members early.”
Before joining Oliver Wyman, Dr. Graf was a Partner at L.E.K. Consulting and Chief Marketing Officer at UnitedHealth Group. He began his career at United Technologies Corporation. He holds two master’s degrees and a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Bachelor of Science with honors from the University of Miami.
“The biggest cost drivers in any health plan are concentrated in a small group of members, and the question is whether a plan finds them before the claim or after,” said Dr. Graf. “HCS has spent four decades building the clinical model and predictive tools to answer that question. I’m glad to support the team as it brings that approach to more plans, funds, and employers.”
