Brown & Brown Summer Series 2023

Navigating High Value, Complex Care and Pharmacy using Data-Driven Recommendations

With Special Guest Transcarent

This educational session will explore employee health plan trends surrounding centers of excellence, direct contracts and pharmacy solutions. We will demonstrate how data is used to drive decision-making on strategy application including considerations each individual, unique employer should question prior to implementation. Multiple criteria, including member engagement strategy, cost, vendor selection and ROI measurements are required for optimal success. If you’re a health plan sponsor, responsible for financial decisions in your workplace, or are interested in providing high-quality, cost-effective care for your members, attendance is a must!

Following the Educational Session please join the Brown & Brown team along with Transcarent on August 3, 2023, for Appleton’s Mile of Music.
