About

Monty Rogers, R.Ph.
President

Monty Rogers, R.Ph., founded Pharm Assess, Inc. as a consulting company which promotes business solutions aimed at independent pharmacy owners. He has worked with retail pharmacies, long term care pharmacies, managed care and specialty pharmacy services for over 20 years.

Rogers, R.Ph. owned and operated a Pharmacy Services Administrative Organization (PSAO) company offering third party contract review for approximately 2,000 pharmacies. Simultaneously, his responsibilities also include the ownership and oversight of a regional Prescription Benefit Management (PBM) program that serviced self-funded prescription programs for contracted clients. Through the PBM, he also administered a retail generic program aimed at keeping independent pharmacists competitive with industry programs offered through pharmacy chains and mass merchandisers.  The PSAO and PBM were sold to Wholesale Alliance and Monty has since left that organization to focus on working more closely with retail pharmacy operations and to collaborate within the managed care arena.

Prior to his responsibilities with the PSAO and PBM, Monty served as Vice President of Managed Care/Third Party Programs for a regional pharmacy buying group in Kansas City. During that time, he directed the third party department, servicing over 800 member retail pharmacies. He also oversaw managed care programs (PBM) offered to self-funded and HMO groups.

Monty earned a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. He has served as Adjunct Professor at the University of Kansas – School of Pharmacy and at the University of Missouri – School of Pharmacy (Kansas City) since 1992. He is a member of the Kansas Pharmacist Association, Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, NCPDP and NCPA.
