AffirmedRx

Public-benefit PBM lowering prescription costs

Overview

AffirmedRx provides pharmacy benefit management services by negotiating drug pricing, discounts, and rebates with manufacturers and pharmacies for employers and health plans. The company operates by passing 100% of these negotiated savings directly to its clients, removing the hidden fees and markups typically found in the complex pharmacy ecosystem. Unlike traditional competitors, it is a Public Benefit Corporation committed to total transparency and a pass-through pricing model rather than profiting from spread pricing. Its goal is to simplify the benefits process and ensure patients have access to the safest medications at the lowest possible cost.
