WASHINGTON, DC, May 7, 2025 – Transparency-Rx, a trusted, not-for-profit coalition dedicated to changing drug pricing for the better, is excited to announce its newest member, EmpiRx Health. They join a growing list of transparent pharmacy benefit management companies, leading industry experts, and stakeholders in a non-partisan effort to promote real policy changes within the healthcare industry.
“We’re thrilled to welcome EmpiRx Health to our coalition. EmpiRx Health is a transformative PBM whose clinically-driven operating strategy puts the pharmacist at the center of the pharmacy care service model to measurably improve patient health outcomes and reduce prescription drug costs,” said Transparency-Rx’s CEO Joe Shields. “Transparency-Rx is excited to help advance EmpiRx Health’s impact on transforming pharmacy care, working together with its leaders and our growing membership to take on outdated pharmacy benefit and prescription drug policies to create more open markets and affordable drug prices.”
“EmpiRx Health is single-mindedly focused on improving patient health outcomes and delivering transparent, sustainable value for clients,” said Danny Sanchez, Chief Executive Officer of EmpiRx Health. “We believe Transparency-Rx strongly shares those key principles and is playing an important role in helping to shape public policies and create mutually beneficial coalitions that will help to optimize patient health while lowering prescription drug costs.”
EmpiRx Health’s mission is to provide the highest quality pharmacy care services and solutions that enable its clients to keep their members healthy, while substantially reducing prescription drug spending and costs. Through its unique pharmacist-led operating model, EmpiRx Health helps to ensure that pharmacy benefits decisions are always based on clinical appropriateness and what’s best for patient health, not the dictates of benefit plan designs and formularies or rebate-driven financial considerations.
Since September 2023, Transparency-Rx has worked to advance legislative solutions to lower drug costs and change outdated practices harming patients and businesses. These efforts include banning spread pricing, instituting a 100% pass-through model for savings, de-linking PBM revenues from the price of medications, and requiring transparency with patients, insurers, pharmacists, and other stakeholders. Founding members include AffirmedRx, Liviniti, MedOne Pharmacy Benefit Solutions Rx, Navitus Health Solutions, RxPreferred Benefits, and SmithRx.
