County with over 800 employees reengages Apex for savings after switching brokers and being forced to dip into their reserves.

A county government with 100 employees partnered with Apex to implement reference-based reimbursement. Over the next 6 years, they experienced sustained savings on both health care spend and PEPM costs.

The client was experiencing rising and unsustainable healthcare costs while their revenue stream was capped. In 2015, two years prior to hiring Apex, its healthcare spend was $1.66 million. That spend increased to $1.81 million in 2016.

Apex was the first benefits advisory firm to introduce Reference-Based Reimbursement (RBR) pricing methodology to the public and private sectors in Indiana in 2012 and has the largest number of RBR clients among Indiana benefits advisory firms.
