Matt Eyles, President and CEO of trade association America's Health Insurance Plans, is leaving his position effective October 2, AHIP said Wednesday in a news release. The lobbying group said it will conduct a national search for Eyles' replacement.

Eyles has led AHIP for the past five years — a historically profitable time for health insurers — and his departure surprised some in the industry. He joined AHIP in 2015, previously serving as COO and executive VP for policy and regulatory affairs.

In 2018, Eyles took over for Marilyn Tavenner, who became CEO of AHIP right after serving as the top administrator of Medicare and Medicaid under President Obama. Several insurers, including UnitedHealth Group and Humana, left the group during Tavenner's tenure, although Humana later rejoined under Eyles.
