Many individuals and families find navigating the complexities of healthcare and pharmacy benefits a daunting and often frustrating experience. Costs are rising, understanding coverage options can feel overwhelming, and accessing the right care at the right price is a significant challenge. This is why Rightway Healthcare was founded: to simplify this journey and empower members to become better healthcare consumers. Our customers, primarily employers and their employees, face the dual burden of escalating healthcare expenses and the difficulty their teams experience in making informed healthcare decisions. We address these challenges head-on by providing a solution that combines advanced technology with dedicated, human-led clinical guidance.

At Rightway, we believe that no one should have to navigate the healthcare system alone. Our platform offers a seamless, member-first approach.

These guides provide on-demand, tailored support, helping members understand their benefits, find high-quality, cost-effective providers, schedule appointments, and even resolve billing issues. For pharmacy needs, RightwayRx, our innovative pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), ensures transparency and alignment, working to secure the best prescription prices and optimal medication utilization. We are committed to transforming the healthcare experience by making it more accessible, understandable, and affordable, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and significant cost savings for both employees and their employers.
