Scott Long, CPBS, CHVP, CSFS

Scott Long serves as an Executive Advisor and member of the leadership team at Apex Benefits, where he works with employers and organizational leaders to rethink how they manage employee healthcare costs, benefits strategy and risk.

Scott’s work goes beyond traditional benefits consulting. He partners with leadership teams to understand what is actually driving healthcare spend, identify where value is being lost, and build strategies that create greater visibility, accountability and control. His work spans health plan strategy, self-funding, pharmacy benefits, plan design, cost-containment strategies and innovative approaches to healthcare delivery and reimbursement.

A recognized thought leader in employee benefits and healthcare strategy, Scott holds the designations of Certified Pharmacy Benefits Specialist (CPBS), Certified Health Value Professional (CHVP) and Certified Self-Funding Specialist (CSFS). He also completed the Drug Development Product Management Specialization through the University of California San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

He is passionate about helping organizational leaders ask better questions—and move beyond simply accepting the status quo when it comes to healthcare costs.
