MONTVALE, N.J., Dec. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EmpiRx Health, the industry's only value-based pharmacy benefits manager (PBM), is pleased to announce the appointment of Ziad Rubaie as Chief Growth Officer. Rubaie joins the EmpiRx Health leadership team amid a period of rapid growth and will be building upon the momentum as plan sponsors seek financially sustainable and clinically based health benefits.

"EmpiRx Health is on track to outperform projected client savings guarantees for the seventh year in a row. Ziad's extensive relationships and experience in healthcare will be key to bringing our market-differentiated value-based solution to new clients nationwide and further accelerate our growth," said EmpiRx Health CEO, Karthik Ganesh. "Ziad is a results-oriented leader, and a stellar addition to our leadership team."

Rubaie is a respected leader in the healthcare industry, with more than 27 years of experience leveraging an impressive network of healthcare consultants to build deep strategic partnerships. He comes to EmpiRx Health after three years as the Chief Business Development Officer at Consociate Health, a boutique TPA with a rapidly expanding national footprint.

"The marketplace is hungry for innovative, value-based healthcare benefits solutions," said Rubaie. "The time is now to showcase the EmpiRx Health difference. In my new role, I look forward to further establishing EmpiRx Health's position as an industry changemaker."

The appointment of Rubaie as CGO adds to an exciting year for EmpiRx Health.

This fall, EmpiRx Health released a first-of-its-kind data report titled, "Innovation in Pharmacy Benefits: Mental Health is Health," which found that a rise in prescriptions related to mental health does not equate to a corresponding rise in costs. The report's findings confirm the PBM's category-defining value-based healthcare model can balance cost and access to care.
