Doug Stoss, who served a five-year term at Bristol-Myers Squibb as director of market access strategy, is now at Humana's Washington office in the VP-federal affairs post.
At the drug maker, he shaped strategy and managed execution of its pubic sector activities.
Stoss has federal experience earned from chief of staff stints for three former administrators of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. During that time, the CMMS launched the Medicare Prescription Drug Program and expanded the Medicare Advantage program.
Humana, the Louisville-based for-profit hospital chain, has more than 6.5M members enrolled in both Medicare programs.
Stoss also worked for Republicans ex-Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ), and Sen. Sue Collins (R-ME).
At Humana, he reports to Heidi Margulis, senior VP-PA.
