Our take
Modern healthcare ecosystems are fragmented, so patients have to organize multiple services to get the care they need. This can be complex, time-consuming and expensive, which is why Rightway provides a unified healthcare organizational system to manage employee healthcare benefits better.
The company’s aim is to simplify access to healthcare, whilst also saving users money through price comparison services. Examples of its offerings are a pharmacy services platform that enables employees to access medication via a smartphone app, and the Advocate platform that helps to close care gaps.
The startup serves companies of all sizes, from small businesses to enterprises like Burger King, Popeyes and RBI. It has hundreds of thousands of users across the US, and has raised considerable funding which will enable it to further develop its platform and strengthen its foothold among employers, health plans, third-party administrators and other potential clients.
