Lansing — State Budget Director John Roberts is leaving Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration in February for a new job at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to help the health insurance giant grow its Medicare business beyond the state’s borders.
Roberts announced his departure last week, but did not disclose the private sector job he was taking.
Andy Hetzel, vice president of communications at Blue Cross, confirmed Wednesday that Roberts will join the insurer’s Emerging Markets Division as vice president of administration to focus on growing the company’s Medicare Advantage plans through insurers in other states.
“We’re still developing the Medicare side of the business right now, but there’s huge growth potential there and we’re very excited about it,” Hetzel said.
