NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Truveris, a healthcare technology company that pioneered cloud-based data analytics solutions for the $450 billion prescription benefits industry, today announced that the company has secured $25 million in a new round of funding to accelerate its growth strategies. The Series D round was led by McKesson Ventures, and included Canaan Partners, New Leaf Venture Partners, Tribeca Venture Partners, and New Atlantic Ventures.
“Access to affordable prescription drugs is a critical need facing all Americans,” said Faisal Mushtaq, President and CEO of Truveris. “This strategic investment enables us to rapidly expand the availability of our platform so we can help more organizations reduce costs and improve access to medications. The continuing support from our existing investors underscores their confidence in our strategy, technology, and the team we are building at Truveris.”
“Truveris’ data-driven platform enables employers to create a more symmetrical buying process for prescription drug coverage by demystifying pricing strategies in PBM contracts and driving more transparent competition,” said Tom Rodgers, SVP & Managing Director at McKesson Ventures. “It also helps Biopharma make smarter decisions about where and how it subsidizes patient assistance programs. The net effect of both is a win by improving access and affordability for payers including employers and consumers.”
