Tyson Foods ditches traditional PBM to partner with Rightway.

Tyson Foods is rewriting the script on pharmacy benefits, transitioning away from their large, traditional pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) to partner with Rightway. As one of the first Fortune 100 companies to take this bold step, Tyson aims to cut spending on high-cost drugs and enhance the member pharmacy experience. After rigorous evaluation, Tyson bid farewell to its legacy PBM partner and embraced Rightway’s more personalized, transparent, and cost-effective pharmacy benefits model.

"Our partnership with Tyson is a major milestone in our mission to reshape the pharmacy benefits landscape for America's most forward-thinking employers."

Jordan Feldman, Co-Founder and CEO of Rightway

Facing escalating pharmacy costs, Tyson's move underscores a broader trend challenging the industry’s status quo. The three major PBM players, which control nearly 80% of the total market share, claim to save employers money by negotiating big rebates from drugmakers. However, their lack of transparency raises questions about how much of these savings actually benefit employers and patients. Rightway's approach guarantees transparency by passing all drug rebates and savings back to plan sponsors and using concierge pharmacist support to drive prescriptions to their lowest net cost.
