About Jason Lauritsen
Far too many people are suffering through bad experiences at work. I was one of them. After years of frustration, I discovered that it didn’t have to be this way. That is when I realized my calling: to make work human. Over the past twenty years, I’ve experimented with management and leadership from a variety of perspectives. I’ve been both a start-up CEO and F1000 corporate executive. I’ve led small and large teams. And, I’ve spent well over a decade studying, researching, and designing solutions for employee engagement. Whether I’m speaking, training, writing or consulting, my goal is always the same. To help people think differently about work so they can make work better. I use stories of my life experience as an entrepreneur, executive, spouse, father, and human being to make the message relatable and entertaining.

A Discussion Around The Election, Prescription Drugs & Lowering Costs
Business & HR Leaders were bracing for rising benefits costs this year - and that was before the pandemic. Pharmacy benefits typically represent nearly 30% of a company's total healthcare expenses and are predicted to increase by roughly 6% annually through 2025. This week's episode dives into what employers can be doing to manage their costs, how to help employees maximize their drug benefit, and the impact the election may have on prescription drugs.
About OneDigital Pharmacy Consulting
Prescription drugs are not only an integral part of the benefits you offer but ensure your employees receive quality healthcare. In an era of Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) consolidation, skyrocketing specialty drug cost and over-utilization, 10-15% of pharmacy spend is lost due to unfavorable pharmacy contracts. Mismanaged pharmacy benefits can result in excess Rx spend up to 20%.
Through a comprehensive clinical review and thorough customer education, OneDigital’s pharmacy consultants take a unique approach that combines an in-depth claims analysis, emphasizes appropriate utilization and a rigorous provider contracting process to take risk-mitigation to the next level.
