About Mike Monske Pharm. D.
I bring 20+ years of experience across pharmacy operations, business development, managed care, and payer strategy grounded in a foundation as a Chemist, Researcher, and Pharmacist. This scientific and clinical depth gives me a unique perspective on the evolving pharmacy landscape and enables me to translate healthcare complexity into actionable, strategic business solutions.After years helping drive pharmacy business development and acquisition strategy at Albertsons, I joined Publix Pharmacy, where for the past five years I have focused on Managed Care and strengthening win-win partnerships with PBMs and payers. My work centers on negotiating sustainable, performance aligned contracts while ensuring Publix delivers value across quality, access, adherence, and patient experience.In the last year, I have expanded my scope to lead Payer Strategy & Innovation, where I am responsible for identifying, designing, and executing new avenues of growth beyond traditional PBM channels. This includes direct-to-payer and direct-to-employer contracting, value-based arrangements, clinical service expansion, medical billing opportunities, and innovative adherence and gap-closure solutions. I collaborate extensively with internal stakeholders across operations, supply chain, legal, IT, clinical, and analytics to bring these initiatives from concept to execution.Across all roles, I rely heavily on data-driven decision making building metrics, evaluating ROI, analyzing performance, and developing strategic recommendations that support both immediate business needs and long term enterprise goals. I take pride in fostering high performing teams, cultivating strong partnerships, and finding aligned solutions that serve patients, payers, and the pharmacy business.I am passionate about shaping the future of retail pharmacy and look forward to continuing to apply my experience toward building innovative, sustainable models that elevate care delivery and expand the pharmacy’s role in the healthcare ecosystem.
