R1 RCM Names Ex-Humana CTO Eric Tagliere as CIO

R1 RCM has named Eric Tagliere chief information officer, the revenue cycle management company announced in a June 9 release reported by Becker's Hospital Review. Tagliere most recently served as chief technology officer at Humana, where he led technology operations and advanced the insurer's cloud and modernization strategy.

In his new role, Tagliere will lead R1's global technology organization. The hire signals R1's intent to apply payer-side technology discipline to the complex work of hospital billing, claims, and collections, an area under pressure as health systems fight margin strain and rising denials.

The move reflects a broader pattern of revenue cycle vendors recruiting executives from large payers and cloud-focused roles. As R1 expands its global footprint and leans further into automation and AI for billing workflows, a CIO with experience modernizing infrastructure at a national insurer like Humana gives the company a leader familiar with both scale and the payer logic that drives reimbursement.
