OPEN MINDS & CapGrow Partners Announce Josh Boynton, Vice President Of Aetna Medicaid As Keynote At The Fourth Annual I/DD Executive Summit This June
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (January 20, 2019) — OPEN MINDS and CapGrow Partners are pleased to announce that Josh Boynton, Vice President of Aetna Medicaid, a CVS Health business, will kick off The 2019 I/DD Executive Summit, with his keynote session, “From Managed Care Planning To Execution – The Future Of Financing & Service Delivery Models For The I/DD Market.” The Summit will return to the Sheraton New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana for the second consecutive year on Monday, June 3, 2019.
The 2019 I/DD Executive Summit is designed to give executive teams the strategy tools they need to build sustainable organizations in a value-based world. This year, the Summit will focus on improving performance outcomes, preserving consumer self-direction, and exploring new partnerships across the care continuum. “We are looking forward to building on the success of last year’s sold-out event, and continuing to offer I/DD executives applicable strategies and thought-provoking ideas that they can immediately implement into their organization,” said CapGrow Partners Founder & CEO, Matt Pettinelli.
“In a market shifting to managed care, provider organizations serving consumers with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) are facing new challenges. Balancing self-direction and consumer-focused care with the push for greater care coordination and improved performance outcomes is forcing provider organizations to explore new service delivery options and build new partnerships with health plans and other provider organizations,” said OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer Monica E. Oss. “We’re thrilled to have Mr. Boynton kick off the Summit by sharing his experience with Aetna and perspective on how new financing models are changing the landscape for provider organizations serving the I/DD population.”
Josh Boynton currently serves as the Vice President of Aetna Medicaid. Working with various stakeholders, including the Aetna Medicaid National Advisory Council, Mr. Boynton is responsible for developing Aetna’s innovative approach to support people with complex needs, such as those with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Aetna Medicaid plans serve approximately two million Medicaid members in 16 states across the nation, all with diverse ethnicities, social complexities and health needs.
Prior to joining Aetna, Mr. Boynton and his wife Rachel started LifeShare in 1996 with the intention of creating an organization that supports people of all abilities with dignity and respect. Under Mr. Boynton’s entrepreneurial leadership, he grew LifeShare into a nationally recognized, COA-accredited, multi-state, multi-million-dollar organization. Collectively, Mr. Boynton developed sustainable and scalable “go to market strategies” around person-centered, and whole-person health plan solutions, including a fully integrated managed care program for individuals with developmental disabilities. LifeShare was acquired by the Centene Corporation in 2013 and Mr. Boynton stayed on as President and CEO during the integration and served as Chairman Emeritus through 2017.
Previously, Mr. Boynton served as Managing Director for VERTESS, a nationally recognized Mergers and Acquisition firm specializing in health care consulting and advisory services and received his CMAA at Pepperdine University. Mr. Boynton received his bachelor’s degree from Keene State College in Psychology, with a concentration in Clinical Psychology, and graduated with a master’s degree in management/leadership from New England College.
