Andrew Dreyfus, the outgoing CEO of Blue Cross, shares his thoughts about the future of health care as he prepares to step down.
Andrew Dreyfus, the chief executive of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, is stepping down after 12 years on the job. He says he is leaving the state’s biggest health insurer to teach, mentor, write and advise young companies.Dreyfus, who is 64, pushed to change the way health insurers pay for care, with rewards for doctors and hospitals that provide high-quality care, not just those that provide the most tests and procedures.
"I'm so excited that we're now incorporating health equity measures into our payment arrangements with physicians and hospitals." "We know that people still face barriers to care. Our health care system is imperfect and fails too often. But I feel really good about the progress we've made in Massachusetts.
"The move into virtual care is going to stay with us in mental health care. Before COVID, [Blue Cross] would pay for just a few thousand virtual mental health visits. Now, we've paid for almost 8 million virtual mental health visits this year. It's just a revolution.
