WithMe Health , a modern PBM and personalized medication guidance digital health company, has formally joined the Castlight Health ecosystem partners roster.
With this ecosystem partnership established, WithMe becomes one of a select few pharmacy-focused ecosystem partners for Castlight and the only partner that offers pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services as well as medication guidance services. WithMe’s medication guidance services are automatically included as part of its PBM solution or can be added as an overlay to a client’s existing PBM to provide oversight of the PBM and a more engaging member experience.

“Castlight is an ideal partner for WithMe, having established meaningful engagement with their members and serving as the digital front door to a client’s multiple solutions,” says Joe Murad, WithMe Health President & CEO. “Pharmacy is the most frequent touchpoint with the healthcare system, and we hope to deepen Castlight’s member engagement even further around the most common and impactful medication-related interactions.”
Making Pharmacy Spend and Outcomes a Priority
With multiple disease- and condition-specific ecosystem partnerships established, pharmacy is a clear priority for Castlight because of the relevance across the board, from everyday maintenance medications to high-cost specialty medications. Further, patients who need the most support tend to have multiple medications across multiple health needs and often need hands-on support to navigate the complexity of medications, especially when prescribers don’t have visibility into a patient’s cost share for medications or a patient’s full ‘medicine cabinet.’
“We’ve built out our portfolio of best-in-class ecosystem partners with the goal of integrating a broad and comprehensive set of resources for our client’s most pressing needs. It’s clear our clients are making pharmacy management a priority, and we are too,” says Matt Moran, Castlight’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.
