Transparency + Accessibility + Value
Myers and Stauffer provides meaningful careers where our associates know their work truly makes a difference in the lives of others. AJ Summers, MBA, Senior Manager at our Indianapolis office, shares his perspective about finding the best health outcomes for clients and patients. Read AJs full story and more about his background below.
“There are several reasons I believe our pharmacy rate setting and National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) benchmark work matters, not the least of which is helping state government clients identify and address any ‘bad actors’ in the pharmacy supply chain. Our work involves setting rates and managing reimbursement methodologies that are equitable for both state Medicaid programs and the pharmacies that provide medication to patients. Our work also provides much-needed price transparency to enable the public to know a reasonable price to pay for their medications. These things, in turn, help keep medication costs manageable for our state government clients, which is critical, given the significant portion that it contributes to overall public health care spending. Finally, we assist with policies that incentivize the best health outcomes for patients, and that’s always our ultimate goal.” – AJ Summers, MBA
