Terry Cothran
Chief Pharmacy Officer Oklahoma Health Care Authority
During his 30 +-year career, Terry Cothran has had the opportunity to experience many aspects of pharmacy from Retail, Specialty, Managed Care, Academia and Government. Terry is currently Chief Pharmacy Officer for The Oklahoma Health Care Authority with direct oversight of the pharmacy benefits provided to over one million Oklahoma Medicaid members. In his current role he has an obligation to provide the best care possible to the Medicaid members of Oklahoma while being good stewards of the taxpayer’s dollars. This requires providing an efficient and quality product to the state of Oklahoma while operating under a limited budget. He was fortunate to be instrumental in Oklahoma being the first Medicaid state to obtain CMS approval and implement a Value-Based Contract (VBC) with a pharmaceutical manufacturer. He helped implement several other contracts over the years and continues to work with manufacturers to further this work.
