Session Details: PBMs that manage over $300 billion of pharmacy benefits for plan sponsors have historically been challenged to support plan sponsors’ goals to reduce avoidable drug-impacted medical costs and optimize overall pharmacy costs. Fragmented, antiquated, and inflexible legacy platforms continue to plague PBM infrastructures resulting in the inability of PBMs to support the optimization of drug benefit management and efficiently operate in an increasingly regulated industry. The ability to reduce overall healthcare costs by leveraging innovative, compliant, and holistic PBM solutions is one of the biggest opportunities that exist for plan sponsors.

RxAdvance is now nirvanaHealth.

Since 2013, the RxAdvance team has been dedicated to disrupting the healthcare industry, specifically in pharmacy benefit management. After 3 years of development, we went live with our first client in 2016 and delivered groundbreaking pharmacy benefit management services. Now that we have proven success year-after-year, we have decided to expand our impact beyond just the PBM industry—onto the payer industry. These two industries alone control the majority of the healthcare spend in the United States, including the $900+ billion of waste generated annually. With our expansion into a new portion of the industry, we have outgrown the RxAdvance name, since it does not accurately capture the scope of our healthcare reach and mission. We are excited to announce our new name and brand—nirvanaHealth. The RxAdvance name has served us well for many years and will continue to do so under nirvanaHealth.
