Paul Markovich Biography

Paul Markovich is president and CEO of Blue Shield of California, a 4.8 million member nonprofit health plan with more than $24 billion in annual revenue that serves the state’s commercial, individual and government markets. Markovich has launched and led numerous initiatives to drive innovation and help reimagine health care, including funding support for a statewide provider directory to make it easier for Californians to find physicians and facilities in their plan; supporting development of a statewide health information network for patients’ records, enabling more seamless and holistic care; and investing in a partnership with the California Medical Association to help physicians pilot new care delivery models and leverage technology.

In December 2019, Markovich became chair of the board of Altais, a subsidiary company created under his leadership to invest in physician practices and equip them with the tools and technology they need for a sustainably affordable, high-quality healthcare system.

His mission-driven executive approach is known for leading enterprise-wide efforts to transform health care, facilitating growth, and managing operational risk.

A 25-year Blue Shield veteran, Markovich previously served as COO, responsible for healthcare services, network management, e-business, marketing, product development, and customer operations. He was senior vice president of the large group and CalPERS business units. He led the company’s product development unit, introducing numerous products and services such as the first California Health Maintenance Organization to allow self-referrals to specialists and initiating online access to member benefits.

Markovich spent 2000-2002 as an entrepreneur, co-founding a consumer-driven health plan. He then joined Definity Health, another consumer-driven plan, before returning to Blue Shield.

He serves on the board of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, the national umbrella organization across the country. Markovich also serves on the board of America’s Health Insurance Plans.

Markovich is a North Dakota native and Rhodes Scholar with a master’s degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University. He is a graduate of Colorado College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Political Economy and played Division I hockey.
