Billy Thomas is a Senior Vice President Operations at UnitedHealth Group. He is proficient in French. Colleagues describe him as "Billy Thomas runs the Prior Authorization Operations team at OptumRx and I support him as a Portfolio and Program manager for both capital ($10M to $15M in programs each year) and process improvement projects. The PA Ops team at OptumRx is one of the largest in the company and I find Billy to have in depth knowledge of all aspects of the PA operations process. He runs a tight ship and is well respected by his leaders, peers and direct reports, who I have noticed go above and beyond their normal job duties on a regular basis. Additionally, I believe he embraces the strong culture at UnitedHealth/Optum, which I have found to be one of the best in the industry. I am more than happy to recommend Billy to any organization seeking a strong Sr. leader to run a complex operations team."
