Recently
negotiated contracts in two areas of health care
in which we did not have contracted arrangements.
That brings us to contracts in seven areas in
health care. We included services for an independent
pharmacy consultant with audit capabilities in
our most recent PBM negotiations.
Through our participation
in the National Labor Alliance, we improved our
contract rates for diagnostic imaging services.
Those funds that used this network saved in excess
of $3 million in 2004. |
