Why Walgreens moved to a private exchange

Published 3 Min Read

For Walgreen Co., the decision to move to a private health care exchange — one of the first and largest employers to do so — was not about cost, but rather the personalization of health benefits and health needs.

Employees didn’t care about the move to a private exchange, they cared about what the company would deliver, Thomas Sondergeld, vice president of global benefits and marketing at the retailer, said Thursday at the Private Healthcare Exchanges Conference in Chicago.
