Pharmacy Services

Corey (Baron) DeLuca earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy in 2011, and has spent the last 11 years practicing as a managed care pharmacist at Highmark, Inc., a health insurance organization serving more than 6 million members and the fourth-largest Blue Cross Blue Shield-affiliated organization in the country. Upon graduating from Pitt, she joined Highmark Inc. as a PGY-1 managed care pharmacy resident and went on to assume various clinical and leadership roles throughout her tenure. Prior to graduation, Corey cultivated an interest and passion for managed care pharmacy working as an intern in the clinical operations department at CVS Caremark, a national Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM).

In her current role as Vice President of Clinical & Specialty Pharmacy Services, Corey is responsible for overseeing the strategic development and implementation of Highmark’s clinical and specialty drug management programs across the
pharmacy and medical benefits including formulary and utilization management, manufacturer relations, specialty pharmacy partnerships and analytics. Her department’s mission is to ensure the safe and appropriate use of medications for Highmark members throughout their healthcare journey and deliver programs that improve medication accessibility and affordability. She is also responsible for directing Highmark’s evidence-based medicine (EBM) drug evaluation and rebate administration programs, which are utilized by other health plan clients nationwide. One recent innovation that Corey is incredibly proud to be part of, along with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and other Blues plans nationwide, is being a founding contributing member to CivicaScript, a non-profit generic drug manufacturer dedicated to bringing lower-cost generic medicines to U.S. consumers.

Corey currently resides in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband and recent new addition to the family, a daughter born in September 2022.
