What Managed Healthcare Executive does

Managed Healthcare Executive (MHE) is a B2B healthcare media brand serving payer decision-makers, pharmacy benefit managers, and managed care professionals. Founded in 1994 and operating as a publication brand within MJH Life Sciences, a privately held healthcare media conglomerate headquartered in Cranbury, New Jersey, MHE produces the flagship monthly MHE Publication alongside Formulary Watch Supplements and Spotlights covering drug formulary decisions. Content spans more than 50 clinical and policy topic verticals including HIV, oncology, diabetes, dermatology, mental health, biosimilars, gene therapy, and digital therapeutics.

The platform distributes content across multiple formats: daily news on the managedhealthcareexecutive.com website, a free weekly newsletter, five podcast series (K-Cast, Conversations with Perry and Friends, Meet the Board, DC Roundtable, Tuning In to the C-Suite), Between the Lines expert panel videos, Population Health Perspectives video series, and short-form Shorts videos. Technology infrastructure includes a Sanity.io content management system and CME/CE course delivery through Thought Industries. MHE maintains 11 strategic alliance partnerships with organizations including the National Pharmaceutical Council, Pharmacy Quality Alliance, Digital Medicine Society, Asembia, and NAMAPA.

Revenue is generated through four streams: pharmaceutical and healthcare industry advertising and sponsored content, subscription and publication sales, conference and event revenue (including the HSE Summit and PBMI National Conference), and CME/CE educational programming. MHE also operates the PBMI Innovators annual recognition program and the PBM Directory, a searchable resource for healthcare plans evaluating pharmacy benefit managers. The brand holds 30+ years of category authority in the managed care and PBM communities.
