Shane Spotts is the President and Founder of Deon Health, a purpose-built, specialty managed care organization designed exclusively to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). As an expert in Medicaid and I/DD policy, Shane designed Deon's model of care to transform systemic healthcare practices, align incentives, and maintain a focus on community-based, person-centered care.

A leading voice in prioritizing and integrating long-term services and supports within managed care frameworks, Shane ensures that healthcare systems meet the real needs of people with disabilities. Over the years, in both the private and public sectors, his efforts have helped state governments and providers navigate the complex financial and regulatory landscape of Medicaid, resulting in care models that improve outcomes.

Most recently, Shane served as a principal at Health Management Associates (HMA), where he led national consulting teams and worked with states, providers, and advocacy organizations on I/DD policy and Medicaid redesign. Before this role, Shane was the Medicaid Growth Director at Anthem and the Interim CEO of Summit Community Care in Arkansas, where he played a significant role in launching the state's Provider-Led Shared Savings Entity (PASSE) model to coordinate care for complex behavioral health and I/DD populations.

Earlier in his career, Shane served as the Director of the Indiana Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS), overseeing the state's I/DD service system and two instrumental lifespan-focused programs: First Steps and Vocational Rehabilitation. Here, he supervised a legislatively mandated evaluation and overhaul of a waiver program, resulting in reduced waiting lists and improved resource allocation. Shane credits this experience as the initial inspiration for Deon Health.

Shane earned a Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs and Economics from Indiana University.
