Dennis Sponer co-founded ScripNet, a uniquely designed Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) company in 1997. After serving as In-House Counsel for one of Las Vegas’ largest healthcare conglomerates, Dennis devised a payor based technological solution to the challenge of pharmaceutical payment and remittance.
