Bredesen F&A Commis. Goetz departs for Ingenix

Second-term Gov. Phil Bredesen's F&A Commissioner Dave Goetz announced his departure for as-yet undisclosed responsibilities within Ingenix, the healthcare technology subsidiary of insurer UnitedHealth Group that bought Franklin-based AIM Healthcare a few years ago. Goetz has overseen the Bredesen-charter e-Health Council of state government in recent years. That group partnered with AT&T on connectivity, handled physician-office IT initiatives, had a stake in a regional health information exchange in the Memphis area, spawned a new public-private partnership, and more. Online news indicates Ingenix has been battling class-action lawsuits regarding an allegedly faulty database that petitioners say led to reimbursement errors. Prior to serving nearly eight years with Bredesen, Goetz led both the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Tennessee Business Roundtable. Earlier, he was a Capitol Hill reporter for Nashville's WTVF Channel 5 (CBS). Former Bredesen Revenue Commis. Reagan Farr and ECD Commis. Matt Kisber recently signalled their involvement in Silicon Ranch, a Solar-oriented venture, details of which have not been released.
