*The EMD Serono Specialty Digest 14th Edition™ survey was conducted to provide objective data on the management of pharmacy and medical benefit specialty pharmaceuticals by health plans in 2017. The sample included commercial health plan personnel who are responsible for specialty drug-related services and responded to emailed invitations from Artemetrx Specialty Drug Solutions. The survey, which was fielded from November 15, 2017 to December 28, 2017, measured the use of common drug benefit management tools, emerging challenges and opportunities, and assessments of the success of various initiatives.
