Startup health insurer Oscar Insurance Corp. hired Dennis Weaver as chief clinical officer to oversee work with doctors and hospitals and help build tighter partnerships with health systems.

Weaver, a physician who was previously chief medical officer at health and education consultant Advisory Board Co., will start at Oscar on Aug. 14. The role is new, though he will take on some responsibilities previously held by Shaden Marzouk, the chief medical officer who left Oscar late last year.
