Daniel Hernandez began his healthcare career working in provider operations, establishing practices and running the back office for large Behavioral Health groups. Following that, he decided to leverage his provider operations experience and develop web-based platforms for the largest managed behavioral health company in Florida, Psychcare. His role at Psychcare quickly grew in working with various departments, including Network Development, Business Development and eventually overseeing the company’s entire operations.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Hernandez led Psychcare’s successful merger with a strategic partner, ultimately overseeing client relationships and operations for the combined company in the Southeast Region of the United States for six years. From there, Mr. Hernandez turned his focus to investing in the local South Florida market, working on a broad range of projects from real estate, to startup ventures and technology companies. Due to the experience he gained in supporting new ventures and his nearly 20 years in healthcare executive management, Mr. Hernandez felt the logical next step was to step back into the Managed Health Care space. He was fortunate to come together with various former colleagues to start the best-in-class Medicare Advantage Plan, Solis Health Plans.
Originally joining Solis as an investor, board member and strategic advisor, he eventually took on the role of CEO. Throughout his nearly four(4) years as CEO Mr. Hernandez helped navigate various issues typical of a startup, as well as going live with a new CMS contract while transitioning the leadership team and navigating the impact of COVID after just completing the first contract year. In 2022 Mr. Hernandez felt he had provided the necessary support to stabilize the health plan and stepped down from his role as CEO and transitioned into the role Executive Chairman of the board.
In his current role as Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Mr. Hernandez has collaborated with his co-founder, Tayron Perez, to establish Out of the Box Now. This initiative represents a culmination of their extensive experiences within the healthcare ecosystem, strategically leveraging technology for its advancement. Out of the Box Now is positioned with the overarching goal to revolutionize the healthcare landscape through the development of cutting-edge technology solutions. These solutions are carefully designed to empower healthcare providers, enhance patient experiences, and optimize operational efficiency.
