Jacksonville-based GuideWell Source announced Jan. 26 that CEO Harvey Dikter will retire later in 2026 after a 21-year career with the company.
GuideWell Source says it is “a leading administrative services company providing full-service, administrative business solutions for health programs.”
GuideWell Source is the corporate services and parent company for First Coast Service Options Inc., Novitas Solutions Inc. and GuideWell Allegiance, which provide administrative services for government-sponsored health care programs.
“We are grateful for Harvey’s exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment to public service through providing best value professional and administrative services to government agencies,” said Amy Ruth, chair of the GuideWell Source board of directors, in a news release. “His vision, integrity and dedication will leave a legacy of excellence that will guide us well into the future.”
GuideWell Source said Dikter, 63, joined the company in 2005 as vice president and general counsel and held a number of operational and organizational positions before being named CEO of First Coast Service Options Inc. and Novitas Solutions Inc. in 2016 and CEO of the family of companies in January 2020.
GuideWell said he led several critical strategic initiatives, including the negotiations for the acquisition of Novitas Solutions, which grew the GuideWell Source companies’ Medicare footprint three-fold by serving as the Medicare Administrative Contractor for 12 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The company said it will announce a succession plan “in the near future.”
GuideWell Source says it has nearly 2,500 employees and provides Medicare administrative services throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico to nearly 12 million beneficiaries and the 600,000 healthcare providers.
