About Erin

Erin brings more than 10 years of managed care experience, specializing in formulary and utilization management, IDN-health plan collaboration, specialty pharmacy strategy, and medical drug management. Prior to joining Precision, Erin led commercial formulary development and specialty pharmacy management for UPMC Health Plan. She supported system-wide formulary initiatives through coordination with provider, health system, pharmacy, and employer stakeholders. She worked closely with system-owned pharmacies to align formulary and utilization management strategies with pharmacy operational processes. She developed and maintained relationships with provider thought-leaders in key therapeutic areas throughout the IDN, including rheumatology, pulmonary arterial hypertension, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C, immunology, and orphan diseases/medical genetics, to drive collaborative management strategies. Additionally, she had responsibility for managing Affordable Care Act (ACA) Exchange formularies for multiple states. She employed a multi-pronged approach to specialty pharmacy strategy that focused on clinical management, operational optimization, unit cost reduction, and member-centric wrap-around programs.

At Precision, Erin supports strategy development and tactical execution for life sciences companies, with a strong focus on specialty medications, orphan drugs, oncology, and cell and gene therapies. Erin has conducted and published research discussing payer, provider, and employer perspectives on the affordability of orphan drugs.
