The influential membership association recently surpassed 100,000 members after 12 consecutive quarters of growth.
In his role as Chief Medical Officer for Innovaccer, Dr. Nace draws on over 30 years of experience as a physician executive in large healthcare systems, payer health plans, leading healthcare providers, and health information technology organizations. As a national thought leader involved in healthcare reform and managed care strategies since the early 1990s, Dr. Nace has been a staunch advocate for and expert resource on reimbursement and care models, including value-based care, ACOs, alternative payment, clinical integration, population health management, patient experience, the patient centered medical home, health equity, and the use of information technology to accelerate healthcare innovation and transformation.
Before joining Innovaccer and after a career in private practice, Dr. Nace held executive leadership roles in several leading healthcare organizations. He served as Chief Medical Officer, VP of Population Health at McKesson; Chairman of the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCC); Senior Vice President at UnitedHealthGroup (UHG); Vice President and CMO at Aetna, among other roles.
Dr. Nace is currently on the board and executive committee of the Healthcare Transformation Task Force. He has also served as an advisor to the American Medical Association, National Business Group on Health, the World Health Organization, and the International Labor Organization on issues ranging from health promotion and wellness to employer policy and healthcare financing issues.

Gundling, FHFMA, CMA. “We appreciate Dr. Nace’s interest in contributing to the HLC and sharing his insights with us. As a national thought leader and experienced physician executive, he will be a valued member of the Council.”
The HFMA’s HLC was designed to serve in an advisory role to HFMA’s national leadership for key issues that impact HFMA members and healthcare finance. The Council advises the HFMA Board of Directors by providing perspectives that are typically not within the HFMA membership’s wheelhouse, in order to enhance the Association’s strategic thought leadership activities.
HFMA helps its members—both individuals and organizations—achieve optimal performance by providing the practical tools and solutions, education, industry analyses, and strategic guidance needed to address and overcome the many challenges that exist within the US healthcare system.
“I’m honored to have been asked to join the HFMA’s Healthcare Leadership Council, and to have the opportunity to work with such a distinguished group of healthcare leaders across the care continuum, including healthcare finance,” said Dr. Nace. “I look forward to working with the Council on policy issues, identifying new opportunities and best practices to help members navigate the changing healthcare landscape, and on the use of technology to help improve the financial health of their organizations.”
