43% of adults said cost led them to take at least one cost-related step with their prescriptions in the past year. That’s not a small problem.

In KFF’s 2026 Health Tracking Poll, those steps included not filling a prescription, skipping doses, or cutting pills.

Vice President Jeremy Gallus shares how Illuminate Rx is proactively looking for safe, effective, lower-cost medication and pharmacy options to make prescriptions more affordable for members.

"The organizations that will succeed aren't necessarily the ones moving fastest. They're the ones most willing to learn, adapt, and revisit long-standing assumptions."

Every plan sponsor wants pharmacy benefits that deliver outcomes, affordability, and a member experience people can navigate. Chasing the next shiny model doesn't guarantee any of that. Illuminate Rx president Ritu Malhotra, PharmD, makes the case for something more effective: evaluate whether the models, contracts, and practices in place still work, then fix what doesn't.

She's unpacking what that looks like in practice, from renegotiating PBM strategy to redesigning coverage tiers, at her HLTH USA session, "Redesigning the Benefits Blueprint." If you're planning to be at HLTH, stop by and say hi.

Illuminate Rx was built on a clinical‑first foundation designed to identify the root causes of pharmacy spend and support a lower-net-cost approach to benefits management. Learn more: https://rxbene.fit/4fXgYNd
