Expecting the Unexpected
MP's current position: Director, Government Business and Emerging Markets at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (per his linkedin profile).

They do not state who he would be working with, but recently BCBS lost the local contract to Cigna (article below). With this being the headquarters for the state of Tennessee, I assume he would manage employees in that department statewide, as well as deal with the government business sector. :waitasec:
Breaking News ~ County Switches From BlueCross To Cigna

Happy: My husband works for the State of Tennessee which has thousands of employees all over the state. They are still covered by BCBS, and the program is called TennesseeBluePreferred. Coverage includes a pharmacy benefit. So MP would still have lots and lots of clients in the State, plus other large cities here may still use BCBS for their city or county employees.
It's only the local County government that switched to Cigna. They probably got some kind of deal.
