Pharmacy benefit management with transparent pricing

About SmithRx

SmithRx operates as a Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) that focuses on managing prescription drug plans for self-insured employers and plan sponsors. The company uses a transparent pricing model called "Pass Through Pricing," where it charges only an administrative fee and passes all rebates from prescriptions directly to clients and their members. This model contrasts with traditional PBMs that often inflate drug prices and retain rebates for profit. SmithRx's clients benefit from a technology platform that utilizes real-time data to improve service delivery, ensuring efficient and high-quality pharmacy benefit management. The company also provides a concierge service to enhance support for both members and clients. SmithRx aims to simplify pharmacy benefits while maximizing value for its clients through transparency, advanced technology, and exceptional customer service.
