Bryan Becker

Bryan Becker is currently an advisor at avoMD, but they have spent the majority of their career as a Chief Medical Officer, Integrated Care at DaVita Kidney Care. Bryan has been with DaVita Kidney Care since April 2016 and in their current role, they have been responsible for creating and implementing a playbook of care for high-risk, high-need patients across multiple US markets. Bryan has also led a national cross-functional team advancing clinical, operational and financial goals across the country focusing on holistic care for high-risk, high-need patients.

During their time at DaVita Kidney Care, Bryan and their team have made significant strides in improving care for high-risk, high-need patients. They created a new care model that they used across the nation (12 different markets, 9 states), managing $2.2B in medical spend across multiple markets. They also got physicians involved across multiple practices and helped them implement an ACO model with best-in-class ESCO performance (exceptional quality) and shared savings of over $85M. In addition, they increased enrollment and improved performance in Medicare Advantage chronic condition special needs plans (C-SNPs) across 12 US geographies in multiple states (decreased hospitalizations 24% and mortality 25% vs. standard care with $10,000/patient/year saved).

Looking to scale effective, low cost, care coordination programs, Bryan and their team created compliant new incentive programs for physicians and a new national NP practice to align their efforts with community physicians (total physician number > 1100) in managing high-risk patients and smooth transitions of care (reduced readmission rate by 22%). Data has also been used effectively during Bryan's time at DaVita Kidney Care with clinical and claims analytics informing a proprietary risk model and helping guide process and clinical action for high-risk, high-need patients.

Bryan Becker went to Dartmouth College for their AB in English, then to Tulane University for their MMM in Medical Management, and finally to the University of Kansas Medical Center for their MD in Medicine.
