Kevin Hamm, KuraMD

CEO

 

Kevin Hamm has a long successful track record as a serial entrepreneur. Over the past 25 plus years, Kevin’s companies have always focused on unique solutions and approaches within the insurance, technology, and healthcare industries.

In the late 80’s with the California Hospital Association, Mr. Hamm created and developed one of the first and most successful group captive insurance programs in the United States. Through the unique program he created, his personal workers compensation accounts written insured 75% of the acute care hospitals in California and nearly 50% of the skilled nursing facilities in California representing over $40M in annual commission revenue.

Captive insurance vehicles were unheard of at the time. As a result of the success of this venture, captives have now become part of mainstream insurance. CHA Ins Svcs grew to one of the 5 largest insurance brokerages in California in just 5 years time.

In May 1994, Kevin left CHAIS and founded Intercare Holdings. Intercare Holdings Inc. grew organically to over 500 employees and more than $50 million in revenue in just over 10 years. Companies created included, Intercare Insurance Services, one of California’s largest privately owned 3rd party administration and claims services operations and Intercare Insurance Solutions, one of California’s largest insurance brokerages for the healthcare industry.

In 2011 was sold to HUB Insurance for nearly $100M and became one of the largest acquisition by HUB to that date. Intercare Insurance Solutions is HUB Insurance Solutions and one of the largest insurance brokerages in the California. Intercare Insurance Services remains one of the largest privately owned 3rd party claims administrators in California.

During this time Mr Hamm was again leading the industry when he created the first PBM (Pharmacy Benefits Management Company) to electronically adjudicate pharmacy for workers compensation claims. After successfully embedding his electronic solution in the claims process with several major insurance carriers, PBM’s are now mainstream in the workers compensation industry. The specialty acquisition by a major mainstream health insurance PBM created what is now a multi-billion dollar company.

In 2011, Kevin started Phoenix Risk Management. In just four years, Phoenix Risk Management grew to over $110 Million of in-force premium. Phoenix Risk Management was sold to Patriot Risk Management in January 2015 and was the centerpiece of what became a publicly traded company with nearly a $500M market cap.

Currently, Mr Hamm’s most recent ventures includes the first company to develop a telehealth company for workers compensation insurance, KuraMD is the current market leader providing an integrated telehealth platform and is the chosen telehealth company by many of the largest workers compensation insurance carriers, third party administrators, and fortune 100 companies in the United States.

Now with a strong and successful management team in place, Kevin has chosen to bring together the assets he created in telemedicine, his years of entrepreneurial experience, creativity, and marketing skills to create a new model of healthcare delivery centered on primary care hub and spoke models incorporating telehealth and brick and mortar clinics.
