Specialty drugs represent only 1–2% of prescriptions but drive nearly 50% of total pharmacy spend. As costs for treatments in areas like asthma and autoimmune diseases continue to climb, employers are seeing unsustainable growth in pharmacy benefit expenses. These rising costs make the need for a smarter, more transparent specialty pharmacy model like Rightway’s more urgent than ever.
Traditional PBMs require members to use their own specialty pharmacies, steering them towards medications that increase their profits instead of what’s in the best interest of the member.
Specialty drug costs are rising at triple the rate of traditional prescriptions. Many traditional PBMs obscure pricing and steer spending toward high-cost drugs. Without visibility into true costs, employers lose control over where their pharmacy dollars are going — often paying more for less value.
Traditional PBMs often reimburse their own specialty pharmacies at inflated rates. By requiring members to use exclusive networks they own or profit from, these PBMs generate significant revenue at the employer’s expense. For example, just three major PBMs made $1.6 billion in profit over three years from just two cancer drugs.
Many drugs are unnecessarily labeled “specialty” solely to justify higher pricing.
Only 32% of specialty drugs are consistent across top PBMs, while 45% are unique to a single PBM. This lack of standardization limits employer control, creates pricing variability, and increases pharmacy benefit costs.

Rightway’s specialty pharmacists help members identify the most affordable and clinically effective medications, often recommending alternatives or biosimilars to reduce specialty pharmacy costs. Our approach combines hands-on support, transparent pricing, and high-performing pharmacy partners to cut spend without compromising care.
Affordable specialty medications at industry-low rates. Our specialty medications are priced among the lowest in the market — reducing financial strain on members while maintaining access to the treatments they need.
A high-quality, independent specialty pharmacy network. We partner with a trusted specialty pharmacy network of independent providers who deliver top-tier service and pricing — no vertically integrated incentives, no markup games.
Transparent pricing model, no hidden incentives. Rightway is not affiliated with any pharmacy and doesn’t profit from drug dispensing. As a specialty pharmacy PBM, our only incentive is lowering utilization and cost — not increasing fill rates.
Copay assistance to maximize employee savings. When available, our team helps members access publicly available copay assistance programs, often reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket costs for critical medications.
