Interview with Centivo CEO Ashok Subramanian

Ashok Subramanian believes that primary care is the key to affordable, high-quality healthcare. That’s not a unique insight --in fact all the lower cost, high performing systems outside the US have robust primary care-- but it’s hard to put in practice in the US. Centivo https://centivo.com/, where Ashok is CEO offers a primary-care focused plan to private employers. Centivo encourages employees to develop deep primary care relationships and rewards providers for achieving strong clinical and cost-effectiveness goals. Ashok is a diehard fan of his native Buffalo, New York, where a diverse and highly educated workforce is a key success factor for the company. In his spare time he reads heavy books like Deaths of Despair and lighter ones like The Game.
