About the event
A Discussion with Leaders from Across the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Indiana business and Human Resource professionals attended an educational summit presented by Apex, “A Prescription for Managing the Impact of High Cost Medications,” on November 13, 2019. Employers understand that a diagnosis of cancer or a debilitating chronic disease among their workforce could result in the need for lifesaving, high-cost medications that can wreak absolute havoc on their organizations’ finances. Attendees wanted to be better informed — and better prepared for managing their risk.
Those in attendance had the opportunity to:
- Hear from employers that have felt the pain of meeting their employees’ needs
- Discuss practical solutions to manage costs of large Rx claims today and in the future
- Ask questions of experts from Eli Lilly and Company, Cigna/Express Scripts, Swiss Re and Apex Benefits
- Take away ideas for providing the best pharmacy benefits to employees at the most affordable costs
Review event recaps, videos and other event-related information below.

Keynote Presented by Apex COO Jim Harenberg
See what Apex COO Jim Harenberg challenged attendees to consider as they search for Rx benefits solutions that balance the needs of their employees with the needs of their companies. Fans of Star Trek will recognize that need for balance as an analogy to, “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.”
