UnitedHealth executive to head health insurance group AHIP

WASHINGTON — An executive at insurance giant UnitedHealth Group is slated to be the next leader of the health insurance industry’s largest lobbying group, the group announced Monday.

AHIP has selected Mike Tuffin, who’s currently UnitedHealth’s senior vice president for external affairs and head of U.S. government affairs, to be its next leader, after Matt Eyles announced his retirement from the group earlier this year after a five-year tenure.
