The Fine Balance between Access to Medication & Cost Management
“Today, group insurance plans represent 10 to 12% of the organization’s salary sum and expenses continue to sky-rocket. Finding a balance between access to medications for members and the sound management of costs has never been so complex.
“When we talk about medication management, too often we forget that the patient must always be at the center of our concerns. The plan’s objective is to offer tools and services to our employees so they can remain in good health”, mentions Pierre Marion, Regional Vice-President, Business Development, Medavie Blue Cross.
