OUR TEAM
CAVULUS IS PROUD TO BE A VERTICALLY-INTEGRATED, COMPLETELY U.S.-BASED COMPANY.
The following are just a few of our Medicare Advantage and Healthcare IT thought leaders, but we look forward to introducing the entire breadth and depth of our organization to you.
Patrick Phillips
FOUNDER / CEO
Patrick’s background in HIPAA-compliant software development led him into the Medicare Advantage (MA) space prior to the implementation of the Medicare Modernization Act. Recognizing the wasted time and cost of retrofitting agnostic technology to our industry's needs, he created Cavulus in 2006 as a purpose-built platform specifically for MA plans. With the company’s first product, MedicareCRM, he championed the SaaS model and led health plans to the Cloud before it was a common industry practice.
Every day, Patrick guides the company's vision creating the next generation of health plan technology that produces unprecedented results, allowing plans to focus on meaningful benefits to members.
Richard Nugen
TECHNOLOGY
Richard has a 360 degree understanding of the healthcare technology landscape. Throughout his career, he’s delivered products in the SaaS model for electronic health records (EHR), medical billing, claims processing, healthcare office management, and more.
At Cavulus, Richard directs systems architecture, application development & management, infrastructure, and hosting. He’s a leading mind in Medicare Advantage workflow architecture & design and is constantly improving processes, protection of PHI, and CMS compliance through our technology.
