Meet the leaders driving our mission to provide high-quality personalized
healthcare in the home for people who have difficulty accessing care.
With over 20 years of experience and a career dedicated to improving home-based healthcare, Matt has been actively helping healthcare organizations solve their most challenging problems. In May 2022, Matt became CEO of HarmonyCares (then U.S. Medical Management) and has been part of further defining the standard for home-based care for the most vulnerable patients who need it most across the country. Prior to joining HarmonyCares, Matt was the CEO of Ready Responders and President of myNEXUS, where he worked to innovate in-home care models which improve health equity and access to care. Before his tenure with Ready Responders and myNEXUS, Matt provided enterprise-wide strategic and operational oversight for all health engagement initiatives for Cigna-Healthspring, including STARS/quality, risk adjustment, customer analytics and engagement. Matt worked with HealthSpring for 9 years and was the COO of HealthSpring of Alabama before moving to Cigna-HealthSpring enterprise operations. While in Alabama, he helped develop various aligned models within the delivery system to better connect the health plan and provider community. Matt began his career in healthcare, working with hospitals and insurers at AIM Healthcare Services. He led operations for the southeast region and was with AIM for 5 years.

We believe that every patient has a unique story, and each deserves a tailored approach to their care. Our success is about people devoted to taking care of people.”
Mike has a proven track record of achieving financial success, strategic growth, and quality improvement while leading a large portion of our growing business. One of the most important strategies in these successes was pursuing increased engagement and investment in physician leaders at a time when physician leadership budgets were being gutted. The return on this investment was surprising, even to him, and confirmed the theory that providers still have meaningful control in ambulatory medicine.
Mike started by driving small projects within his surgery department and quickly moved to leadership roles in their professional liability insurance group. In 2011, he became chair of their large general surgery department. In 2013, he was promoted to surgery chief for the surgery section and ambulatory surgery centers. Together, with his physician leader colleagues, they have achieved operational excellence, including safety and quality, strategic growth and continuously improving financial performance. Through all of this work, Mike has followed the same principles: honor the patient and respect the provider. Slowly, we are aligning incentives, improving healthcare delivery and, ultimately, improving the nation’s health.
“I want to transform healthcare. Nothing less. The goal is to align incentives for all stakeholders to increase value in the system. A daunting task, for certain. Through a mix of population health, business expertise and creativity the task is attainable as certainly as it is difficult.”

“I grew up in Russia where it is a norm, not an exception, that physicians and nurses are coming to homes to see patients who need care: from children to seniors. I know firsthand that it is a better model to treat patients, especially older and frail. I was genuinely surprised when I first learned that in the US sick patients need to come to a clinic or Emergency Room to get care. So, when I learned about home-based model like HarmonyCares’, I immediately recognized its benefits and got excited to grow such model and make it available to more patients across the country.”
