Ryan Kitchell will replace Alex Slabosky as the head of Indiana University Health Plans. Slabosky, who is retiring, oversaw the parent company of the M-Plan HMO, of which Indianapolis-based IU Health owned about 87 percent. More recently, Slabosky had pitched IU Health Plans as a health plan other employers could join or as a provider of services that would help employers with their worker health benefits. Kitchell came to IU Health in 2009 after serving as Gov. Mitch Daniels’ director of the Office of Management and Budget. In addition to running IU Health Plans, Kitchell will continue his management of IU Health’s treasury and real estate departments.
