Randy Pate brings over two decades of public and private sector health care policy and regulatory experience to his role at Randolph Pate Advisors. In his most recent position serving as Deputy Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), RP led the turnaround of the Health Insurance Exchanges and was instrumental in several major health policy initiatives.
During Pate’s tenure at CCIIO, premiums for benchmark plans on HealthCare.gov dropped for the first time, decreasing for three straight years. Competition on the Exchanges also increased, as the percentage of counties with one insurer offering coverage dropped from 52% in 2018 to just 9% in 2021. Pate also led the drafting of major regulations such as the 2017 Market Stabilization Rule and played a key role in shaping federal policy on the HHS Risk Adjustment Program, Section 1332 State Innovation Waivers, Transparency in Coverage (Price Transparency), and Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs). Finally, he also spearheaded the development of Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE), a new technology pathway that enrolled over 1 million consumers into individual market coverage for 2021.
Earlier in his career, Randy served in a number of roles on Capitol Hill in both the House and the Senate, including as Public Health Counsel for the House Energy and Commerce Committee and later as Health Counsel for Rep. Kevin Brady on the House Ways and Means Committee. Pate was also a Health Policy Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and served as a Senior Advisor at the Department of Health and Human Services during the George W. Bush Administration.
Working in the private sector, Randy helped launch the MITRE Corporation’s policy work with CMS, and for six years served as Vice President of Public Policy for Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), the largest customer-owned health insurance company in the country.
Pate is a licensed attorney and holds bachelors and law degrees from The University of Alabama. He received his Masters of Public Health from Johns Hopkins University.
Pate lives in Arlington, Virginia and enjoys camping, live music, and college football.
With over two decades of experience in key healthcare policy leadership roles in the private sector, two presidential administrations, and on Capitol Hill, Randolph Pate Advisors understands that achieving results requires both effective strategic planning and a robust network of partners to turn priorities into measurable success.

In the time that I’ve worked with Randy, our team has found him to be incredibly thoughtful, creative pragmatic and efficient. The speed with which he processes information, makes realistic recommendations, and shares insightful perspectives is impressive. Every time I work with Randy I find myself grateful for these qualities. He is a valuable partner and a thought leader with great potential.
CEO, HealthSherpa
Mr. Pate is one of the sharpest public health experts with whom I have worked. He has a strong background in the history and philosophical foundations of public health, and is an excellent analyst and writer. As a lawyer, he is also a national expert on medical liability reform having worked on the issue while at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Randy has earned my highest recommendation.
Randy is a solution-driven strategic thinker. Thanks to his leadership, medical liability reform has moved forward significantly, and many more providers and patients are aware of their rights to avoid the emotional and financial costs of litigation by agreeing to compensation or arbitration before care takes place. Many other health regulations are more rational and humane thanks to his insight and hard work. He knows all the experts and working with him is a pleasure.
