After consulting, Cuomo ally to oversee Medicaid money

Laura Nahmias

ALBANY—Former deputy secretary of health Jim Introne is returning to the state Department of Health to help oversee the disbursal of more than $6 billion in federal money from a recently approved Medicaid waiver, possibly to health care organizations who are clients of the politically well-connected firm he recently worked for.

Introne, who began working at the state health department on June 5 this year, will serve as special adviser to the state health commissioner, a department spokesperson confirmed.

In his new position, Introne will provide counsel on matters related to the health department's Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program, the spokesperson said.

Introne retired from the department in 2013, and afterward began working for Sachs Consulting, a firm headed by Jeffrey Sachs, a close friend and ally of Governor Andrew Cuomo.
