New Pharmacy Director Added as Alliance Expands Scope

Neal Roberts, PharmD, has joined Alliance as our new Pharmacy Director. Most recently, Dr. Roberts was the Pharmacy Clinical Coordinator for the Northwest Community Care Network, where he monitored the clinical pharmacy services for 140,000 Medicaid members within the northwest NC counties. In a prior role, he developed and managed the pharmacy benefit for a health plan serving over 30,000 individuals.

Dr. Roberts’ primary responsibility at Alliance will be directing the company’s pharmacy benefit and collaborating with our Tailored Plan pharmacy benefit manager, Navitus Health Solutions. According to Mehul Mankad, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Alliance, “Pharmacy benefits management forms the third vital component of our Tailored Plan strategy – with mental health benefits and physical health benefits as the two other critical elements. We are delighted to have Dr. Roberts join the Alliance team.”
