Abarca Health and LucyRx, two independent pharmacy benefit management (PBM) companies, have announced their merger to create a new entity that will serve as an alternative to the three largest PBMs in the U.S. The combined company aims to offer greater transparency and competition in the market, addressing increasing scrutiny and regulatory changes within the PBM industry. This merger is expected to position the new company among the top 10 PBMs by prescription volume, though still significantly smaller than market leaders like CVS Health's Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx.
