The fine folks at FierceHealthcare have compiled a list of the Top 10 health plan CEOs ranked by compensation. The links include details on performance, prior year compensation, and a bit of editorial.
Aetna - Ron Williams $24,300,112
CIGNA - Ed Hanway $12,236,740
WellPoint - Angela Braly $9,844,212
Coventry - Dale Wolf (ret) $9,047,469
Centene - Michael Neidorff $8,774,483
Amerigroup - James Carlson $5,292,546
Humana - Michael McCallister $4,764,309
HealthNet - Jay Gellert $4,425,355
Universal American - Richard Barasch $3,503,702
UnitedHealth Group - Steve Hemsley $3,421,042
Some of these Tpo 10 CEOs saw their compensation drop due to declines in their company stock price or other financial issues (CIGNA, Coventry) while others seem to have been unaffected by deteriorating performance (WellPoint, HealthNet) and settlement of lawsuits.
