In that role, he oversaw the state’s Medicaid program, providing services to more than 1.2 million members with a biennial budget exceeding $18.6 billion. He also administered the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), providing assistance to more than 800,000 Wisconsin residents with an annual budget of $1 billion.
Moore previously served as deputy secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, and has held a number of policy and research roles for state officials.
“I’m excited to join Aurora Health Care to define the strategy of how we can best care for individuals and families who rely on Medicaid,” Moore said. “As we know, the Medicaid program is evolving rapidly, requiring constant calibration to ensure we’re making the most of our resources. I look forward to working with the Aurora team to provide an enhanced system of care aimed at improving the health and well-being of our patients.”
