BIRMINGHAM, Ala. and BOSTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Advent International ("Advent"), one of the largest and most experienced global private equity investors, today announced that it has completed a recapitalization of RxBenefits, the employee benefits industry's first and only technology-enabled pharmacy benefits optimizer (PBO), which values the company at approximately $1.1 billion. With this investment Advent joins Great Hill Partners ("Great Hill"), a leading growth-oriented private equity firm, which first invested in the company in 2016. Advent and Great Hill now each own equal stakes in RxBenefits, alongside a significant investment from the current management team.

Founded in 1995, RxBenefits serves as a trusted pharmacy adviser to employee benefits consultants and as the pharmacy benefits solution provider of choice for self-insured employers. The company leverages longstanding partnerships with the leading pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs), a proprietary data management and business intelligence platform and tailored clinical strategies to deliver unmatched pharmaceutical cost savings to self-insured employers and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). The recapitalization will provide RxBenefits with capital to accelerate the build out of its salesforce, broker channels and technology and continue executing on its strong growth strategy, both organically and through M&A.

RxBenefits’ deep relationships with PBMs and high-touch account management service model have enabled it to deliver savings to mid-sized employers and fill a key gap in the market. We are incredibly excited about RxBenefits and believe the company is well-positioned for continued expansion.

We look forward to growing in partnership with Advent and Great Hill as we continue to build out our specialty and clinical programs to deliver additional cost savings to our clients."

"Prescription drug costs have seen significant increases in recent years, creating a compelling market opportunity as small and mid-sized employers seek to manage their pharmacy benefit spend," said John Maldonado, Managing Partner at Advent. "RxBenefits' deep relationships with PBMs and high-touch account management service model have enabled it to deliver savings to mid-sized employers and fill a key gap in the market. We are incredibly excited about RxBenefits and believe the company is well-positioned for continued expansion."
