Friedman, director of NY State Medicaid, resigns
After nine months as director of the New York State Medicaid program, Brett Friedman, who is listed as having a Brooklyn Heights address, has resigned to pursue unnamed opportunities in the private sector.
Friedman, who previously had another position in the State Department of Health, director of strategic initiatives and Medicaid counsel, wrote on his Linkedin page, “I am so proud of what we have been able to achieve in the Medicaid program over my past 2.5 years at the Department of Health, as I look to explore new opportunities in the private sector after May 27, 2022.”
He also praised his colleagues who, he said, “share a commitment to achieving comprehensive and equitable coverage for the more than 7.3 million New Yorkers who rely on Medicaid.”
