Brad White CEO

Brad White did his undergraduate work at Youngstown State University before graduating from Ohio State Veterinary School of Medicine. He practiced in New Hampshire before moving back home and opening the Poland Veterinary Centre in Poland, Ohio. After ten years Brad sold his practice and was asked by his father, Jim White, and other investors to become the executive director of a startup healthcare provider network company for exclusive use of Professional Risk Management clients. PRM as it was more commonly referred to, was the healthcare third party administration company Jim had founded in 1981.

The network grew rapidly covering Ohio and surrounding states with several national contracts . Brad was instrumental in network contracts and acquisitions, development of a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) and expansion of a workers’ compensation provider network. Soon after he was asked by the PRM management team to assist in some inter-divisional restructuring and was named CEO in 2001. Brad orchestrated the sale of PRM in 2008 and later bought back the workers’ compensation TPA division when the purchaser no longer wanted to be in the work comp TPA business.

When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became a reality, Brad was the first team member to obtain his NAHU PPACA certification so Tartan would be prepared for their client’s needs. An unusual step for a CEO, but “It needed done and I had the most flexibility to devote time to the program.”

Brad developed the Tartan Companies concept which includes the “old” PRM workers’ compensation TPA division now known as Tartan Benefit Services, the Tartan Insurance Agency and Tartan Risk Solutions. He attributes the success of the Tartan Companies to his management team and the caliber of employees overall.

Brad and his wife Debbie have been married for 38 years, have two sons, 2 daughter-in-laws, four grandsons and a home on a 130 acre horse farm in Enon Valley, Pa. According to Brad his priorities are God, family, Tartan, golf and vacationing on a remote island… with his family of course.
