New York, May 23, 2022 – Alaffia, a cutting-edge healthcare payment integrity company that uses AI to eliminate overpayments on medical claims, announced its hiring of Kurt Fullmer as its Head of Payer Sales today. Fullmer joins Alaffia following over 9 years at MultiPlan, where he designed and implemented healthcare cost management solutions for payers.

Fullmer brings over 30 years of experience in healthcare technology, strategically designing custom products and services to optimize processes and reduce costs for providers, payers, and health plan members. As its Head of Payer Sales, Fullmer will oversee National and Regional Sales, Account Management, Sales Operations, and Partnerships across the US.
