Testimonials
“The thing I value most about AEPC is being in the room with the most knowledgeable professionals in health care. I learn a lot from them and in turn am confident that our members are getting a solid value for their benefit dollars. AEPC follows best practices and they know the pharmacy industry inside and out. We are a self-funded program so we have to do benefits right. AEPC is the right choice for us.”
“I think membership in APEC has been extremely beneficial for Michigan State University. Not only has MSU saved millions of dollars on prescription drugs through this relationship, we also have access to consulting resources such as Remedy Analytics, experts in prescription drug cost analysis and management, which have been invaluable as we battle to contain the cost of prescription drugs and overall health care costs.”
“With AEPC, management and labor come together with a common goal: we all understand that health care matters, and together we will achieve savings and quality services that directly benefit our members. There’s such great value in having one organization – AEPC – handle all the detail work such as RFPs so that it’s done with expertise and is trusted by both the labor and management sides.”
“Being a part of the AEPC purchasing coalition makes all the sense in the world for our Health and Welfare Trust. AEPC provides the opportunity for us to be in control of our benefits program, without incurring the large overhead we would have if we did it on our own. AEPC readily shares their expertise in the field of health benefits so I can stay on top of the latest trends and developments. All of this ensures the best value for our members.”
