- Leading healthcare company Rightway announced recently that it has raised $100 million in Series C. These are the details.
Rightway — a leading healthcare technology and services company transforming care navigation and pharmacy benefits — announced recently that it has raised $100 million in Series C financing at a valuation of $1.1 billion. This round of funding was led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Tiger Global Management, and other existing investors.
Rightway’s growth to serve over 500k members across 850 clients and a 250% increase in headcount has positioned the company to bring a new level of transformation to the ailing healthcare landscape. And the investment will be used to rapidly expand Rightway’s footprint in the employer market and accelerate its advancement across health plans, third-party administrators and other strategic channels.
This funding round will also advance the build of RightwayRx, Plus Rightway’s new-to-the-world PBM that is rearchitecting the broken pharmacy benefits model by realigning stakeholders across the supply chain, enabling risk- and condition-based engagement, and driving optimal medication utilization through proprietary clinical protocols.
Since being founded in 2017, Rightway has used a combination of dedicated, clinical guidance and member-centric technology to help members get the highest quality care at the best price. And to date, Rightway has delivered industry-leading engagement and customer satisfaction that has driven double-digit decreases in total cost of care for clients. Plus Rightway is committed to empowering and advocating for each member, simplifying the healthcare experience while driving better outcomes and lower costs.
Last year, Rightway launched RightwayRx, a PBM solution that eliminates legacy tactics and misaligned incentives, transforming the model into one that is fair and transparent. In combining this model with best-in-class member engagement and expert guidance, Rightway is delivering the only solution that puts the member at the center to sustainably reduce pharmacy spend. And RightwayRx has been able to deliver its clients an average of 20% reduction in year 1 pharmacy cost savings while simultaneously lowering member out-of-pocket costs.
