OPM taps new healthcare and insurance chief ahead of Open Season

The Office of Personnel Management’s healthcare and insurance division, following recent staffing reductions, is getting new leadership ahead of its busy Open Season.

Matthew Kiley, a former Department of Health and Human Services official under the first Trump administration, will serve as the associate director of OPM’s healthcare and insurance division, starting Sept. 8, according to an internal memo obtained by Government Executive.

A copy of Kiley’s resume shared with OPM employees and partially viewed by GovExec shows Kiley is the founder and former president of the Weyhill Group, a boutique management consulting firm in the greater Philadelphia area that serves clients in financial services, insurance and healthcare.

According to Kiley’s LinkedIn page, he also led the Office of Health Policy within HHS’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) between November 2019 and and January 2021.

Kiley wrote that during his tenure at HHS, he “helped the department make significant progress in improving the health of all Americans and moving toward a more patient-centered and sustainable system.” Projects he worked on include eliminating surprise billing for patients, lowering “excessive drug prices” and addressing rural health issues.
