Petersburg, United States Civica Rx Full time

About Civica Rx:

Civica Rx is a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization established in 2018 by health systems and philanthropies to reduce chronic generic drug shortages and related high prices in the United States.

An experienced team of health care and pharmaceutical industry leaders leads the organization.

Today, more than 55 health systems have joined Civica Rx, representing over 1,500 hospitals and over 30 percent of all U.S. hospital beds.

Civica Rx has also supplied the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of essential medicines.

The #1 Policy for the Civica Rx team has been "Do What Is in the Best Interest of Patients."

Civica Rx has expanded its mission beyond the hospital setting to include lowering the cost of medications at the pharmacy counter.

It has launched a sister organization, CivicaScript, to enter the retail pharmacy market partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield entities and others with the goal of reducing select high cost generic drugs where market forces are not working to control drug costs.

More recently, Civica Rx announced plans to develop, manufacture and deliver affordable biosimilar insulin.

The consistent availability of affordable insulin will benefit people who ration their care or who have been forced to choose between this life-sustaining medicine and living expenses.

Those who are uninsured or underinsured often pay the most out of pocket for their medications.

Long- and short-acting insulins will be produced and available in both vials and pre-filled pens – at no more than $30 per vial and no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.
