Hannah Neprash, PhD

I am currently an associate professor at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health. I study health economics, focusing on how to build a more efficient and resilient health care system. My research studies new threats (cyberattacks in health care), persistent challenges (Medicare payment policy), and emerging opportunities (artificial intelligence in medicine). I earned my PhD in Health Policy (Health Economics track) from Harvard University in 2017 and my BA in Economics from Oberlin College in 2007.

In addition to my academic career, I have experience in federal and state health policy – including time at the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), the Health Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee, and the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission.
