Passport Health Plan announced today the appointment of John Burich as Vice President of Strategy and Business
Development. Mr. Burich is highly accomplished with over thirty years of experience in health and human services working with a variety of public and private sector organizations. He most recently served as Vice President of Business Development for Magellan, a publically-traded company that provides behavioral health, specialty care management and
pharmacy benefits to managed care companies, state Medicaid and federal agencies. John’s focus will be on leading Passport’s growth agenda focused in several key areas including the managed Medicaid market.
