Show Notes

Episode 1: Why DisclosedRx Exists with Co-Founder Zack Robinson In our debut episode, we sit down with one of the founders of DisclosedRx, Zack Robinson, to discuss the problem he saw in the pharmacy benefits industry and why he decided to build something different. We dive into the realities of spread pricing, rebate retention, hidden revenue streams, and the lack of visibility that many employers face when managing pharmacy benefits. Zack shares the story behind DisclosedRx, the principles that shaped the company, and why they chose a fiduciary-first approach built on transparency, 100% pass-through pricing, full rebate pass-through, and true NDC-11 claim visibility. Whether you're an employer, consultant, broker, or simply curious about how the PBM world really works, this episode provides an inside look at the challenges facing the industry and one company's attempt to change the status quo. Topics covered: • Why DisclosedRx was founded • What spread pricing really is • The rebate debate • Fiduciary responsibility in pharmacy benefits • NDC-11 transparency and why it matters • What employers should be asking their PBM Where Transparency Takes the Mic. 🎙️ This is Full Disclosure with Chris Estep and Andy Rodriguez.
