Rightway is a New York pharmacy benefit manager and care navigation company that announced a $155M Series E led by Francisco Partners in September 2026.
Rightway is a pharmacy benefit management (PBM) and care navigation company based in New York that sells to employers. Its site describes pharmacist-led PBM services and clinician-led care navigation delivered through a mobile and web app.[1],[2],[3],[4]
Rightway says its PBM revenue comes from a single transparent fee. Healthcare Brew reported in September 2025 that Rightway's PBM passes through 100% of rebates to its employer clients. Managed Healthcare Executive reported in January 2024 that the company does not retain rebates or use spread pricing.[2],[5],[6]
Rightway's SureSpend model backs that pricing with guarantees. The Precision Pricing Guarantee sets a maximum on total pharmacy spend, and the Zero-Markup Wrap covers categories commonly excluded from spending guarantees, including GLP-1s and rare high-cost medications, at true net cost with 100% rebate pass-through.[1],[5]
Rightway's care navigation service helps members understand their benefits, handle billing issues and find care, and proactively reaches out to at-risk members, according to the company's site. Rightway also says its pharmacists guide members to the most appropriate medications at the lowest cost.[2],[1]
