DR. I. STEVEN UDVARHELYI
PRESIDENT/CEO OF BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF LOUISIANA
Dr. I. Steven Udvarhelyi took over as president and CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana in 2016. The Baltimore native previously served as executive vice president and chief strategy officer at Independence Blue Cross in Philadelphia, and he will be on the front lines as the new president and Congress launch yet another health insurance overhaul in 2017.
A board-certified internist, Udvarhelyi has almost 25 years of experience in the managed care industry, and is a former member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. He says he enjoys the fact that Baton Rouge is smaller and easier to get around in than Philadelphia—and that he can golf year-round here.
