Hello there,
I hope you’ve had the opportunity to unplug and enjoy some time away from the office, email, Teams, WebEx and Zoom!
This month is all about preparing. As we explore ways to get ready for the start of another school year, we share some thoughtful cost saving updates to our student formulary!
Further, we examine monkeypox. While the virus is not nearly at the scale of COVID-19, it’s important for us all to be vigilant. We provide some high-level insights about the virus and how to prepare this school year.
Also, we share an article by our friend Dr. Mary Dorholt, from our specialty pharmacy, Accredo, on how students with specialty conditions can prepare for life on campus and get the resources they need.
Lastly, we share another great story that shows how our payment integrity team was able to save a member school's plan more than $66,000, while also saving a student member $6,000 in out-of-pocket fees!
Have a great rest of the summer!
Sincerely,
