LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SlateRx today announced that Joey Dizenhouse, FSA, MAAA, has been appointed as the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Dizenhouse brings over 25 years of leadership in the healthcare and pharmacy benefit sectors.
SlateRx aims to revolutionize the pharmacy benefit space and joins this market in partnership with HealthTrust, a leading healthcare performance improvement company. Dizenhouse comes to SlateRx from HealthTrust, serving as Senior Vice President and Head of its Insurance, Human Capital, and Pharmacy Group, managing over $15 billion in annual pharmacy spend.

“I am honored to lead an organization so committed to transparency and innovation in pharmacy benefits,” said Dizenhouse. “And there has never been a time when this has been more critical: Plan sponsors should be able to rely on a pharmacy benefit experience designed to truly protect those who receive care and those who pay for that care. I am excited to direct the course for SlateRx and its talented, growing team.”
