AmeriHealth Caritas appoints president of exchange business from Blue Cross

US Medicaid provider AmeriHealth Caritas has appointed Loretta Lenko (pictured) as president of its exchange business.

Lenko will oversee AmeriHealth Caritas Next, the company’s exchange business which was announced in October last year, and its expansion into new markets.

She joins AmeriHealth Caritas after nearly 13 years at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the last 10 of which were in leadership roles in the health insurer’s individual business unit.

Her responsibilities included development of the company’s individual health insurance products and working with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s Office of Healthcare Reform.

Before joining Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Lenko held various leadership roles at automotive technology firm Delphi and spent nearly two decades at General Motors.

Paul Tufano, chairman and CEO of AmeriHealth Caritas, said: “Loretta’s experience in the strategic planning and development of healthcare products will be an asset for our company as we expand our presence on the exchange and support members throughout their full life journey, from wellness to resilience.

“Her leadership will help ensure AmeriHealth Caritas Next continues our mission to help people get care, stay well, and build healthy communities.”
