Rushil Desai, president and CEO of Aetna Better Health of Illinois, is stepping down from his role.
“The impactful public-private partnerships we’ve fostered have been instrumental in innovating solutions, expanding reach, and strengthening the overall health ecosystem in Illinois,” Mr. Desai wrote July 31 on LinkedIn. “Protecting and strengthening Medicaid must remain a paramount priority, ensuring access to quality care for all.”
He has been with the company since 2020. Prior to that, he was COO at Centene’s Illinois subsidiary, which was acquired by Aetna in 2020.
