SmithRx, a modern pharmacy benefits manager (PBM), today announced a new partnership with UnitedAg, a member-owned agricultural trade association and health plan Trust. This collaboration will provide UnitedAg's 1,200+ agricultural entities comprising over 55,000 members with a fiduciary-aligned, transparent, and more affordable pharmacy benefits solution.
