Daniel Loepp
President & CEO
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
Daniel J. Loepp is President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
Mr. Loepp has directed sweeping initiatives and innovations that have led not only to a transformation of health care in Michigan but a historic transformation of BCBSM itself. He played a major role in modernizing the state’s health care delivery system in a process that led to the enactment of new laws that transformed BCBSM to become a nonprofit mutual insurance company in January 2014.
Mr. Loepp has led BCBSM initiatives to transform health care. The company is improving health care quality and slowing cost increases, saving nearly $700 million through several programs that have garnered national attention and served as models implemented across the country.
Under his leadership, the Blues are helping to revitalize and strengthen Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing. In 2011 and 2012, the Blues moved 3,000 BCBSM employees into downtown Detroit and now have more than 6,000 workers in the city’s central business district. In Lansing, BCBSM subsidiary Accident Fund Holdings, Inc. transformed a long abandoned power plant into a national headquarters.
Mr. Loepp has stood by a commitment that BCBSM should be a force for good in Michigan’s core cities. It is reflected in BCBSM’s workforce diversity and inclusion efforts, supplier partnerships, and community initiatives. In his tenure, BCBSM has been named Corporation of the Year in Finance and Insurance Services seven times by the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council. The company has also been named one of America’s Top Organizations for Multi-Cultural Business Opportunities by DiversityBusiness.com and ranked three consecutive years as one of the top 10 Regional Companies for diversity by Diversity Inc Magazine.
Mr. Loepp was honored as a 2013 Michiganian of the Year by the Detroit News. He also received the City Change Maker Award from the Detroit Public Safety Foundation. Mr. Loepp joined the Blues in 2000. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, he served as board chair of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA), an organization that includes all 37 Blues plans and provides health coverage to nearly 100 million Americans. Mr. Loepp continues to serve on the BCBSA board. He also serves on the board of the National Institute for Health Care Management.
A current member of the Detroit Economic Club board of directors, Mr. Loepp was also the 2007-2008 Chair of the Detroit Regional Chamber board and served as Chairman of the chamber’s 2007 Mackinac Policy Conference.
