About the company

Judi Health is a health technology and benefits administrator that serves employers, unions, health plans, and government entities through three brands: Judi Rx (transparent pass-through PBM with flat fees), Judi Care (medical, dental, and vision benefit administration and care navigation), and Judi Cloud (licenses the platform to plans and TPAs). Its core product is Judi, a Unified Claims Processing platform that brings pharmacy and medical benefits and medical, dental, and vision claims onto a single cloud system with AI-enhanced workflows. This approach replaces fragmented legacy systems by offering end-to-end benefits administration on one platform, differentiating itself with price transparency and a non-opaque fee structure. The goal is to simplify and lower the cost of health benefits administration while scaling across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid markets and expanding access through licensing and care navigation.

Features include a broad retail pharmacy network using cost-plus reimbursement, a specialty pharmacy network including Amazon and Accredo by Evernorth, and integration with third-party solution providers. The offering allows Employers Health's 500-plus clients, covering 2.5 million lives and nearly $6.1 billion in spend, to work collaboratively whilst avoiding restrictions associated with traditional spread models.
