Drug Overcharging
Prescription cost containment solutions is one of the many benefits of CEA membership. CEA provides health insurance solutions through an association with HISI, a Pharmacy Benefits Administrator (PBA) that has a proven track record of performance. At no cost to the county, this Pharmacy Benefits Administrator evaluates, negotiates, manages, and monitors self-funded pharmacy benefit programs - focusing on Specialty medication price gouging.

- Provide best in class service
- No disruption of service and no switching out of medications
- Target specialty medication utilization, and help realize significant savings

- Reduce overall specialty drug cost for employers
