Anew Health is a major US-based pharmacy care management company that specializes in serving individuals with the most complex, chronic medical needs. Established in 2023, Anew Health was formed through the strategic combination of two industry leaders: ExactCare Pharmacy and Tabula Rasa HealthCare (TRHC). This merger created a national powerhouse in the specialized pharmacy sector, leveraging ExactCare's high-touch, home-based pharmacy care model with TRHC's advanced medication risk management technology. The company is licensed to operate in all 50 states and serves over 135,000 people nationwide.
The core mission of Anew Health is to reinvent the role of pharmacy in patient care. The company operates on the principle that for patients with complex conditions and multiple prescriptions (polypharmacy), standard retail pharmacy services are insufficient. These patients are at a high risk of medication non-adherence, adverse drug events, and costly hospitalizations. Anew Health's mission is to proactively manage these risks through a comprehensive, integrated approach that combines clinical expertise, proprietary technology, and personalized logistics. By doing so, they aim to improve the quality of life for patients while delivering significant clinical and financial outcomes for their healthcare partners.
What the Company Actually Does
Anew Health is not a direct-to-consumer pharmacy or a functional medicine clinic. It is a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) organization that partners with other healthcare entities to manage the medication regimens of their most at-risk members and patients. Its primary function is to act as an outsourced, expert pharmacy care team for complex populations.
The company's core activity is providing an end-to-end medication management solution that addresses every facet of a patient's prescription needs. This process begins when a partner organization?such as a health plan, a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), or a home health agency?refers a high-risk individual to Anew Health. From there, Anew Health's clinical team takes over the complete coordination of the patient's medications. This includes working directly with all of the patient's physicians to ensure prescriptions are accurate and aligned, analyzing the entire medication profile for potential risks, and managing the logistics of fulfillment and delivery. The goal is to simplify a dangerously complex daily task for the patient and provide a layer of clinical oversight that prevents medication-related problems before they can occur.
Products and Services
Anew Health's offerings are a tightly integrated suite of clinical services, technology platforms, and specialized pharmacy logistics designed to serve healthcare organizations and their members.
1. Comprehensive Medication Management
This is the cornerstone of the Anew Health model, a service far more extensive than standard prescription fulfillment.
Clinical Pharmacy Services: Upon enrollment, a team of clinical pharmacists conducts a thorough medication reconciliation, reviewing every prescription from every one of a patient's doctors. They perform ongoing monthly medication reviews to ensure safety and efficacy, proactively identifying potential issues.
Proprietary Medication Risk Management (MedWise?): This is a key technological differentiator inherited from Tabula Rasa HealthCare. The MedWise? platform is a science-based software that analyzes a patient's complete medication and biometric profile to identify the risk of multi-drug interactions and adverse drug events (ADEs). This provides clinicians with data-driven insights to optimize medication therapy and mitigate potential harm, a critical service for patients taking numerous drugs.
2. Specialized Pharmacy Fulfillment and Adherence Solutions
This service line focuses on the physical delivery of medications in a way that maximizes safety and adherence.
Multi-Dose Adherence Packaging: Instead of receiving multiple pill bottles, patients get their medications in a consolidated, customized package, often known as the "ExactCare" box. Medications are pre-sorted and organized by date and time of day (e.g., "Monday Morning," "Monday Evening"), making it simple for patients to take the correct pills at the correct time.
Medication Synchronization: The company coordinates with all of a patient's prescribers to align prescription refill dates. This ensures that a patient receives all their ongoing medications in a single, predictable monthly delivery.
Nationwide Home Delivery: All medications are delivered directly to the patient's home or another designated community location, eliminating the need for frequent trips to a pharmacy.
3. Support for Healthcare Partners
Anew Health provides tailored solutions for different segments of the healthcare industry, demonstrating clear value propositions for each.
For Health Plans (Medicare, Medicaid, Dual-Eligible): The service is designed to improve quality measures, such as medication adherence scores (e.g., Proportion of Days Covered - PDC), which are critical for Medicare Star Ratings. By preventing hospital admissions and ER visits, Anew Health helps plans reduce their total cost of care for high-risk members.
For PACE Organizations: As experts in geriatric pharmacy care, they provide a full-service solution that integrates with the PACE model, helping to keep frail seniors living safely in the community.
For Home Health and Kidney Care Providers: They provide medication support that complements the care being delivered in the home, ensuring patients can manage their oral medications safely during and after an episode of care. This is particularly valuable for patients with complex conditions like end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
4. Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM)
Through its Pharmastar brand, Anew Health also offers full-service pharmacy benefit management, leveraging its national network of over 64,000 pharmacies to provide customized network solutions for commercial plans and government programs.
