Stacie Heiden

EVP of Government Markets and Enterprise Analytics

A strategic and passionate leader, Stacie Heiden exemplifies the qualities that North Dakotans are known for: honesty, perseverance and compassion.

As a native North Dakotan who grew up on a family farm and started her career in a multi-state rural health system, Stacie understands rural North Dakota and the challenges of health care. After serving as CFO for a North Dakota-based health system and a medical imaging organization covering the U.S. and Canada, Stacie enjoys tackling the complexity of health insurance to simplify health care coverage, create better access to health care and improve the well-being of her fellow North Dakotans and members outside of the state.

Stacie leads BCBSND’s work in government health care markets. Her leadership helped BCBSND become the State of North Dakota’s Medicaid Expansion partner beginning in 2022 and serve as a market leader in Medicare plans for North Dakotans, including NextBlue of North Dakota, which is among the fastest-growing Medicare Advantage plans in the state.

Stacie also oversees the Enterprise Data and Analytics Solutions division, where she is leading the transformation to a data-driven organization focused on better health outcomes and affordability insights for employer groups, providers and other key stakeholders.

Stacie is a graduate of North Dakota State University with a bachelor's degree in accounting, a Certified Public Accountant (inactive), and a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE).

Stacie and her family live in Fargo, where she enjoys dog walks, gardening, connecting with friends and family at their nearby lake home and serving as a board member of United Way of Cass-Clay.
