Managed Care Prescription Drug Benefit Management

Robert was involved in developing the early managed care prescription drug benefit programs at UnitedHealthCare in the 1980s, including mandatory outpatient drug formularies, utilization management strategies, online real-time claims adjudication, and the industry's first brand drug pharmaceutical rebate programs. These management strategies are common today in commercial, Managed Medicaid, Medicare Part D, and Health Insurance Marketplace pharmacy programs to reduce costs and promote appropriate access of covered drugs for insured members.
