MedImpact was founded more than three decades ago by a pharmacist and independent drug store owner who saw firsthand how families struggled with the high cost of prescriptions, and how it impacted their lives, financial security, and health. So, he started MedImpact to make prescription benefits understandable and accessible. While we have grown to be one of the leading PBMs in America, we remain as committed to these principles today as we did when it all began.
