Hagan and Black will be joining current Practice Leader Jeff Griffiths, who will continue to develop the central region for Adaptis. Throughout his 18 years of healthcare payer experience, Griffiths has developed a consultative approach. “I make a point of staying on top of industry trends and making these topics of discussion … to see if their plans are experiencing these pains, as well. Then I architect a solution to address those issues. The process and methodology that we have in place here (at Adaptis) ensures our success, and more importantly the success of our clients.”
