CareSource hires Kentucky directors

Dayton-based Medicaid provider CareSource has named two new directors for the Humana-CareSource alliance in Kentucky.

The company has hired Jon Copley as the new executive director and Dr. Jeb Teichman as the new medical director in Louisville, Ky., according to a media release.

Copley most recently was the director of plan operations at Kentucky Spirit Health Plan, and has more than 10 years of legal and operational management experience in the health care industry.

Dr. Teichman has more than 26 years of medical experience and comes to CareSource as a pediatrician from Clark Physicians Group, Jefferson Pediatrics, in Jeffersonville, Ind., and a medical reviewer from CareWise Health in Louisville.

CareSource formed an alliance with Humana in March 2012 to serve Medicaid members in Kentucky and the dual-eligible population in Ohio, or people who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare.

Approximately 887,000 Ohioans have their Medicaid plans administered by nonprofit CareSource, the state’s largest Medicaid managed care plan.
