23. Alan Murray
2016 Power List
As president and CEO of CareConnect, Alan Murray is the man steering one of the largest health insurance companies in the New York State exchange. Created by Northwell Health, the state’s largest private employer, CareConnect was ranked among the top five state marketplace insurers with the most enrollees. Murray oversees CareConnect’s strategic direction, as well as the insurer’s Medicare and Medicaid lines. If that’s not enough, Murray also serves as senior vice president of Northwell’s Office of Population Health Management, which is charged with coordinating cross-organizational activities. CareConnect members have access to the leading hospitals and doctors in the region, plus 100 urgent care centers across the state. Murray previously worked for UnitedHealthcare, where he was vice president of the New York market. During his time there, he was responsible for cultivating a network of 200-plus hospitals and tens of thousands of physicians. Long Island’s prognosis is always thumbs-up with Murray.
