Health benefit coverage and cost sharing
Innovative companies are leveraging the trend toward consumer-driven health care by offering more choices and letting employees choose a specific level of benefits. Innovative enrollment and administration technologies handle the increased complexity that comes from introducing additional choices.

Pharmacy management
Spiking drug costs—combined with increased usage—drive higher prices. We can design a comprehensive pharmaceutical strategy, including tactics that encourage the use of lower-cost drugs.
