LucyRx: Redefining Prescription Care from Montgomery County, Maryland
Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, LucyRx was founded in 2023 with a bold mission: to innovate the prescription care industry. CEO and Founder David Blair recognizes that far too many patients across the United States are vulnerable to surprise costs, long delays, and confusing red tape that get in their way of obtaining prescription medication in a timely manner. By working with employers, health plans, and pharmacies across the country, the new company is committed to improving how prescription benefits are managed and helping people get the prescription medication they need quickly and affordably.
In just over a year, LucyRx has experienced remarkable growth. The company already serves more than 3,500 clients and has 1.5 million members nationwide. Supported by a rapidly expanding team of experts in pharmacy, healthcare, and technology, they’ve already reached a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 65, which far exceeds the pharmacy benefits industry average of –12. NPS is an important customer satisfaction benchmark, and their high score not only shows that clients are satisfied, but that they are loyal.
LucyRx’s commitment to innovation has also earned national recognition. CEO David Blair was recently named a PBMI Innovator by Managed Healthcare Executive for helping lead the charge in transforming pharmacy benefits. Further, the company’s suite of solutions is transforming how employers and health systems manage prescription access. Initiatives like the Connected Specialty Care Network, a first-of-its-kind national model for specialty drug access, and the Sustaining Pharmacy Access & Rural Care (SPARC) program, which supports rural pharmacy sustainability, are closing critical gaps in prescription care while improving outcomes and lowering costs for patients.
Growing in Montgomery County, Maryland
For Blair, Montgomery County isn’t just where LucyRx is based—it’s home and LucyRx benefits from one of the nation’s most dynamic healthcare and life sciences communities. “The proximity to world-class research institutions, combined with a highly skilled workforce makes Montgomery County an attractive place for a next-generation healthcare company,” explained Blair. “Our mission is to redefine prescription care, and Montgomery County gives us the talent, resources, and values-driven community to do just that. This is a place where talent, mission, and momentum intersect and we’re proud to be part of it.”
The region’s strong network of healthcare organizations, research institutions, and proximity to federal agencies like the FDA, NIST, and NIH keeps LucyRx connected to the forefront of pharmacy innovation and health benefit reform. The company currently has 300 employees nationwide with its corporate offices in Bethesda, including its leadership team, clinical experts, analysts, and client service teams. LucyRx plans to scale operations nationally, but will remain committed to Montgomery County. “Montgomery County puts us at the heart of healthcare innovation,” said Blair. “As we continue to grow, we’re excited about expanding our presence and building our corporate team here.”
