Paradigm Appoints Chris Pricco as CEO of Specialty Networks

November 17, 2020 By //  by Web Support

Paradigm, the industry leader in solving catastrophic and complex health care challenges and improving lives, today announced the appointment of Chris Pricco as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Paradigm Specialty Networks, effective November 2. Ken Hannigan, who has served as the division’s CEO for the past two years, will retire in early 2021. Chris will report to Paradigm’s CEO John Watts and will work closely with senior leaders across the business.

As CEO of Paradigm Specialty Networks, Chris will oversee the division’s innovative, data-driven network solutions that address the most challenging, expensive, and unmanaged segments in workers’ compensation: orthopedic and spine, pain management, addiction, post-acute care, behavioral health, and surgical implants.

“At Paradigm, we are focused on bringing our deep clinical expertise to improve the lives of the injured workers and families we serve. It’s important that we continue to build a leadership team that aligns with our core values and our focus on delivering a high-caliber experience for our customers and partners,” said John Watts, CEO, Paradigm. “We are thrilled to welcome Chris to our team. His deep experience in specialty care management and networks will be invaluable as we seek to seize new opportunities for innovation and growth in 2021 and beyond. We are also deeply fortunate for Ken’s leadership in combining Adva-Net and ForeSight Medical into Paradigm Specialty Networks and for growing and strengthening the business over the past two years. I look forward to Chris continuing to innovate and improve upon the products and services that have driven success.”
