Optum Rx Differentiated Pharmacy Benefit Solutions

Optum Rx is helping reduce out-of-pocket costs for consumers, addressing the high cost of specialty drugs through integrated cost management and simplifying the pharmacy experience for our clients, care providers and consumers.

 

How We Support Clients and Consumers

Our pharmacy care services business delivers convenience, savings and better outcomes to consumers through our specialty pharmacy, infusion services, rare disease services, community pharmacies and home delivery.

Our integrated pharmacy platform helps people achieve better health and lowers overall costs of care through:

Pharmacy Services

Integrated pharmacy services, which include our home delivery and multidose packaging solutions, specialty and infusion services and our community pharmacies.

Direct-to-Consumer Offerings

Direct-to-consumer offerings, built to provide a range of tailored health products and services, all in one place — simply and affordably, whether a person has traditional benefits or not, to help consumers navigate the healthcare system.

Pharmacy Benefit Solutions

Our pharmacy benefit solutions drive affordability for clients and consumers through direct negotiations with pharma and pharmacies and improve health outcomes for consumers. While our role in negotiating with pharma is essential to lowering healthcare costs, our role in helping patients navigate their benefits, and providers caring for patients, are critical focus areas for us. Our pharmacy benefit business provides best-in-class client transparency, clinical policy and analytics.

 

Our Commitment to Community and Independent Pharmacies

Optum Rx is taking action to support community and independent pharmacies to drive better health outcomes and identify unmet needs for the patients they serve.
