Tron Emptage

As Chief Clinical Officer, Tron Emptage oversees our comprehensive suite of clinical programs designed to help payers gain more control over medical costs to achieve better outcomes for injured workers. Tron leverages nearly 30 years of health care, workers’ compensation, and auto no-fault experience in developing and managing key program components, such as medication plans and formularies, utilization reviews, physician outreach, clinical intervention, and pharmacist and nursing support.

Tron has used his hospital, retail pharmacy, home infusion, and medical network experiences to develop a number of innovative clinical initiatives, including our patent-pending data analytics model, our clinical oversight programs, and our urine drug testing program — all critical to helping Optum transform the way workers’ compensation and auto no-fault payers manage claims and contain costs through utilization programs.

Tron is a registered pharmacist licensed in the state of Ohio and earned his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from The Ohio State University and a Master of Arts degree from Ashland University. He shares his clinical management insights as a frequent speaker at leading industry conferences and author of several white papers and journal articles on topics ranging from prescription drug misuse to pharmacy management strategies.
