« Tainted pot pies blamed for 5 salmonella cases in Mass. | Main | Insuring more people: good news and bad news » Thursday, October 11, 2007New member joins Connector boardAlice Dembner, Globe Staff The board of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority is finally back up to speed with the appointment of Ian Duncan to fill the seat reserved for an insurance actuary. Duncan, who runs a healthcare management consulting firm called Solucia in Farmington, Ct., attended his first meeting today and jumped right into a lively and complex discussion of a prescription drug benefit. The connector is overseeing implementation of the state’s new near-universal health insurance law. Duncan replaces Bruce Butler, an actuary who resigned because of potential conflicts of interest between his private consulting business and the connector’s work. State officials apparently had to reach out to Connecticut to find an actuary who didn’t have business connections with insurers working in Massachusetts. In a 30-year career in healthcare management, Duncan has also worked for Aetna Life and Casualty and PricewaterhouseCoopers. He has recently specialized in evaluating disease management programs.
