** What We Do
** Lucy Rx is an independent, next-generation pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) transforming how healthcare works. We’re fixing what’s broken in the PBM industry by putting people first and challenging outdated norms. For too long, traditional PBMs have prioritized profit over patients, and we believe that’s just plain wrong.

Lucy Rx offers bold, innovative solutions powered by LucyIQ, our proprietary AI platform, to deliver actionable insights that lower costs, improve care, and simplify prescription management.

While we’re new to the PBM space, Lucy Rx is built on decades of leadership experience and a commitment to meaningful change. We’re a nimble, remote-first team with a bold mission to redefine pharmacy benefits—and we’re just getting started.
