Health-insurance provider Humana Inc. (HUM) on Tuesday named William Shrank, MD, MSHS, as the company's new chief medical officer, effective April 1.

He will succeed Roy A. Beveridge, M.D., who said last year he would retire from Humana in the course of 2019. Dr. Beveridge will remain with the company for a few months to ensure a smooth transition, Humana said.

Dr. Shrank joins Humana from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he served since 2016 as Chief Medical Officer, Insurance Services Division. Prior to that, he worked at CVS Health and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
