BluePeak Advisors was established in 2010 by a group of government healthcare professionals dedicated to solving the Medicare Part C and D Programs’ unique regulatory and operational challenges. Led by Principals Babette S. Edgar and Sherry Pound, our team of consultants consists of senior level managed care professionals, experienced clinicians and former Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) regulators who have worked at health plans, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and CMS. The team consists of career government healthcare professionals with the experience and expertise to service our clients across the country. BluePeak’s focus lies in PBM and health plan operations, Medicare compliance and STARs, CMS advocacy and support, pharmaceutical manufacturer marketing and payer strategies for reimbursement, clinical programs strategies and integration and data analytics.
