About The Company
Our mission is to reduce the cost and complexity of pharmacy benefits for America’s employers and patients.
Pharmacy benefits are broken. The overly complex monopolies built by big PBMs only serve their bottom lines. SmithRx is a transparent, pass-through pharmacy benefits manager for self-insured employers. We operate independently from insurance companies and pharmacies so that our incentives are 100% aligned with our customers. Our modern technology and innovative cost savings programs connect our members to the lowest cost drugs.
