About SmithRx
SmithRx is a forward-thinking Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) based in San Francisco, California. The company operates in the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on the administration of prescription drug plans for self-insured employers and plan sponsors. Unlike traditional PBMs that often profit from inflating drug prices and keeping rebates, SmithRx employs a transparent business model known as "Pass Through Pricing." This means the company only charges an administrative fee and passes 100% of the rebates earned from prescriptions directly to the plan sponsors and their members.
