Since being honored at the Business Journal’s 27th annual Women in Business Awards in October, Dawn Maroney has seen her responsibilities and reach grow as CEO and Markets President of Alignment Health Plan California, a unit of Orange’s Medicare services provider Alignment Healthcare Inc. (Nasdaq: ALHC).
In April, Maroney received a newly expanded role with oversight of new market management and development.
Adding to her previous duties managing provider contracting, pharmacy, sales and marketing, product development and membership eligibility, Maroney is now helping Alignment scale nationwide.
“Our team is focused on scaling our senior-first vision and developing new approaches to advance the quality of care for seniors,” Alignment Healthcare CEO John Kao said in a statement. “Investing in our talented leaders is a crucial part of our long-term path toward sustainable growth.”
Alignment took additional steps in scaling in June. If approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the company plans to expand to four Florida counties and two Texas counties in 2023.
Alignment also plans to ramp up its presence in eight counties across Arizona, California, Nevada and North Carolina. Starting Oct. 15, the same day Medicare Advantage enrollment opens, coverage will be available to an additional 1.1 million Medicare-eligible seniors, bringing its total to 8.2 million seniors.
“We are continually perfecting a model where seniors can enjoy the benefits of ‘having a doctor in the family’ while upholding our quality of care as we grow,” Maroney said in a statement. “Our members consistently tell us they love our diverse plans that cater to where they are in their health journey, with benefits that take care of more than just their clinical needs.”
Last month, UCI Health joined Alignment’s provider network, with Medicare Advantage members now with access to services at UCI Medical Center and to over 900 UCI Health primary and specialty care physicians.
The Business Journal annually honors five women business leaders from diverse industries at the Women in Business Awards. The 27th annual awards will take place on Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Irvine Marriott. For more info, visit: https://www.ocbj.com/events/2022-women-in-business-awards/
