Sheryl Markowitz

I get called in when plans are in trouble. Over 20 years, I’ve led the mandates most executives avoid — CMS sanctions, Stars crises, underperforming clinical operations, first-of-kind regulatory pilots. I’ve done it at scale: a $16B plan, a $137B enterprise, a PE-backed ISNP with everything on the line. The results speak for themselves: • 2.5 → 5 Stars in 24 months at a PE-backed ISNP • 43 of 44 CMS corrective action plans closed at Healthfirst — first clean audit in plan history • #1-ranked MLTSS program in Virginia, built from launch at Anthem/Elevance • First U.S. Medicare/Medicaid dual demonstration pilot, developed in partnership with Ohio and CMS My approach is simple: clinical depth paired with P&L discipline. I build teams that stick, programs that scale, and infrastructure that outlasts my tenure. Currently available for CCO, COO, or equivalent C-suite roles with a turnaround or transformation mandate — particularly in managed care, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ISNP, or dual-eligible markets. Open to retained search conversations.
