Notable Quote
- “Our novel approach layers on modern technology to bring transparency, efficiency, and flexibility to specialty benefit management. For too long, the opaque and archaic structure of the traditional specialty drug supply chain has contributed to inefficiencies and misaligned incentives that have ballooned healthcare costs. When you bring marketplace principles to healthcare, you unlock competition on price and differentiation on experience. That’s no different in specialty drugs, which is why we’re offering a comprehensive solution that can be tailored to each payer’s unique needs.” — Mark Thierer, Co-founder and CEO at Waltz Health
