SFM hires Chief Medical Director, Dr. Andrew Wilkins
SFM recently hired Dr. Andrew Wilkins as Chief Medical Director.
In his role, he will assist in the management of complex claims, serve as an educational resource, and lead strategic initiatives to better understand what is driving a rise in medical severity and how we can best address it.
“I’m looking forward to taking a holistic approach to complex claims and trying to find solutions that best benefit the patient, the policyholder and SFM as a whole, backed by good medical practices and literature,” he said.
By way of background, Wilkins attended medical school in Arizona, followed by a residency in Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia while on active-duty service. Wilkins then joined the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, providing medical care as a Battalion Surgeon in the Middle East, Europe, and at Fort Campbell, Ky.
After transitioning to civilian practice, Wilkins most recently was a staff physician at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. He serves on the state Medical Services Review Board, is board certified in emergency medicine, and has special interests in medical education and health care leadership.
Outside of SFM, Wilkins enjoys running on the Chain of Lakes, studying history, and spending time in his home state of Idaho. He lives in Minneapolis with his spouse, Bethany, and two young daughters, Olivia and Sasha.
Wilkins joined SFM in November 2024.
