Our History
Star-Rx is a pharmacy benefit SOLUTION built to be a transparent/cost-plus program that focuses on “therapeutic equivalent” drugs to achieve a lowest net cost reference price.
This pharmacy solution addresses the issues around conflicts of interest and misalignment by creating a system of accountability and separating the powers between PBM, Specialty Drugs and Rebates.
