An accomplished health care consultant who has accrued more than 40 years of excellence in data analytics, finance, economics, and the overall business of medicine, Alan Arthur Anderson III has provided his expertise as a clinical business consultant to his own firm, Anderson Healthcare Consulting, LLC, since 2016 and to the Defense Health Agency since 2018. Through his work, he creates innovative clinical practice models to improve productivity and quality of care; writes papers on the clinical process; supports GME program care innovation to train residents in best practices; makes presentations to corporate executives; develops enhanced health-driven and cost-control clinical practice business model for primary care; and bring in the best-equipped physicians to optimize primary care practice, among several other responsibilities.

Mr. Anderson is most proud of the success of the neurosurgery and behavioral health virtual clinics he has been involved with—through which they completed more than 400 surgeries and served more than 30 military treatment facilities with a delivery of 1,500 to 2,000 visits a week.

At the start of his career, Mr. Anderson distinguished himself at IBM from 1978 to 1995—helming the roles of marketing representative, senior systems consultant, and healthcare financial consultant within its Service Bureau Corporation. He then served as a clinical business analyst for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center within the Northern Regional Medical Command from 2003 to 2012, a clinical business consultant and president of Anderson Healthcare Consulting, LLC throughout 2016, and a clinical business consultant at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield from 2012 to 2017.

Attributing his success to his father, Mr. Anderson made a name for himself throughout the country as a salesperson at a young age, served in the U.S. Air Force from 1970 to 1973, earned a Bachelor of Science in information systems management from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland in 1977, and later became a certified data processor in 1980 and a certified computer programmer in 1981. Before joining the Service Bureau Company on January 2, 1978, he joined a minority hiring campaign and had to qualify against people who attended and graduated from West Point Military Academy, Air Force Academy, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard Business School.

Outside of his primary endeavors, Mr. Anderson worked with the Benjamin Banneker student enlightenment program throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, during which he tutored minority students in math at the naval academy. He has also been extremely physically active, weightlifting since 2010 and swimming for 12 years now; he has won the Gold Gym Challenge for his age group each year from 2011 to 2016. Fifteen years ago, he volunteered for kidney transplants for the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Looking ahead, he would like to have a new Surgery Center of Excellence and other major surgical projects under his belt, as well as continue to develop clinical practice models before retiring. Mr. Anderson and his wife have three sons, five grandchildren, and two dogs.
