ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Coalition for Quality
Colorectal Cancer Screening and Care announced the appointment of Randall H.
H. Madry, as the Coalition's new Executive Director.
Steven J. Morris, MD JD FACP FACG, Coalition Board Chairperson and CEO of
Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, LLC states, "We are pleased to have Mr.
Madry serve in this important position for the organization. With Mr. Madry's
background working with consumers, advocacy groups, and regulatory agencies
in the health care and insurance fields, he is a great choice for the
Coalition. He knows the ropes of how to get things done."
Mr. Madry notes, "I am honored and excited about running the day-to-day
activities of the Coalition. Since the Coalition's founding last spring, the
Coalition already has helped impact payment policies for several insurers and
testified before the FDA on issues critical to its mission."
Dr. Morris adds, "The Coalition is dedicated to ensure that patient care
and quality is never compromised regarding the prevention, screening and
treatment of colorectal cancer. Minimizing appropriate clinical oversight in
an attempt to save dollars, at the expense of patient safety or at the cost of
human lives, is unacceptable."
Among other accomplishments, Mr. Madry has:
-- Worked as the Deputy Commissioner for the North Carolina Department of
Insurance, responsible for the regulation of Health Maintenance Organizations,
Preferred Provider Organizations and Third Party Administration Companies;
-- Chaired the National Association of Insurance Commissioner's (NAIC)
Health Plan Accountability Work Group which created eight model acts for the
regulation of managed care organizations; and
-- Served as President and CEO of URAC (aka American Accreditation Health
Care Commission), a premier accreditation agency promoting quality standards
and practices in health care.
Mr. Madry adds, "The Coalition is serving a critical role in the fight
against cancer. Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer
deaths inthe United States. By exercising the strategies being promoted by
the Coalition, tens of thousands of Americans could be saved each year. The
Coalition also will partner with and support organizations like 'Stand Up To
Cancer' which is hosting a nationally televised event tomorrow evening."
