Health Plan of San Joaquin/Mountain Valley Health Plan appoints Liz Le as new Chief Operations Officer
(French Camp, CA) – Health Plan of San Joaquin/Mountain Valley Health Plan (HPSJ/MVHP) announced that Liz Le joined the organization as Chief Operations Officer (COO). Le brings a wealth of experience as an accomplished and forward-thinking health care leader. Her extensive background includes operations and progressive management, which encompasses program implementation and development; provider network management, expansion, and contracting; member enrollment and outreach; delegated plan services; regulatory program audits; and government contracts compliance.
For over 20 years, Le has held several key roles at Optum/United Health Group and CalOptima. Among her notable achievements, Le oversaw the development and implementation of Optum/United Health Group’s CalAIM program. During her tenure at CalOptima, she led the health plan’s Network Management efforts to successfully launch the Health Homes Program and Whole-Child Model program.
Le’s impact extends to her significant contributions to the establishment of CalOptima’s Program for All-Inclusive Care and Cal MediConnect program, which is California’s Dual Eligible Demonstration Project. Additionally, Le served as a leading contributor for the launch of CalOptima’s Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan for dual eligible members and the integration of the Long-Term Care Services program.
Le stated, “I have always been interested in health care and that passion has continued throughout my career. I am grateful for the Medi-Cal and Medicare experience I have gained, particularly in regulations and operations. This role of COO allows me to apply my knowledge of government programs and utilize my experience with operations. I understand the member populations we serve because my family was served by the public health system. I am so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the service that we deliver to our members.”
In her new role, Liz will operationalize HPSJ/MVHP’s strategic initiatives and enhance opportunities to support our provider partners in the delivery of care as we continuously improve health access, quality, and equity for our members.
