IPC’s pharmacy knowledge and expertise will Evergreen achieve next level in their pharmacy benefits consulting practice, added Brown & Brown’s Evergreen Re / Evergreen Rx CEO Ron Taylor.
IPC president Ken Anderson, Christine Johnston, Kathy Friedman along with their team will continue operations from IPC’s office in O’Fallon, Missouri, US.
