This supplement to The American Journal of Managed Care discusses recent research and proprietary analytic tools employers can use to design a benefit plan that is fiscally responsible, yet does not saddle their sickest employees with burdensome out-of-pocket

expenses or restrict members’ access to essential therapies, such as biotechnology-derived treatments. This supplement also includes commentary from several industry leaders regarding their time-tested approaches to developing effective benefit strategies.
