Sarah Iselin, BCBS MA CEO on the HealthBiz Podcast
Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Sarah Iselin is a great asset for Massachusetts. I admired her work when she ran the Department of Healthcare Finance and Policy and then the BCBS Foundation, and was grateful for her rescue of Massachusetts' implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
After a decade-long sojourn to Florida and California she's come back to Massachusetts just in time to address some big challenges. Among the topics we discussed:
The Steward Healthcare bankruptcy
Access to care -especially behavioral health
The health care cost crisis
Women's health
Value based care and the Alternative Quality Contract
I also enjoyed learning about how Sarah was inspired by her parents to enter public service and her early dates as an art student.
