Dear Public Education Health Trust Member,

We are excited to announce that effective July 1, 2025, Rightway will be the new pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) for the Public Education Health Trust (PEHT). This partnership brings a more personalized pharmacy experience to our members, with access to the Rightway pharmacy team 24/7 for support with medication coverage, specialty drugs, mail orders, and any transition-related questions.

Enclosed with this letter, you’ll find your new PEHT insurance ID card, which reflects the updated Rightway PBM information. Please present this new card the next time you fill a prescription, whether at a retail pharmacy or for home delivery, as it contains important processing details. Pharmacy accounts not updated may reject at the time of an attempted fill.

We are working to make this transition as seamless as possible:

  • Active prescriptions and current prior authorizations will automatically transfer from OptumRX to Rightway before July 1.
  • Formulary medications and existing prior authorizations will be grandfathered through December 31, 2025.
  • If a new prior authorization is needed or if your medication is excluded from the Rightway formulary after December 31, Rightway will send you and your provider a letter with the next steps for alternatives.

To get started, visit JoinRightway.com, scan the QR code below, or call 833-419-6546. You can also download the Rightway app for easy access to services. Rightway also offers convenient home delivery through Walgreens Mail Service and specialty medications through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy.

If you have any further questions, please contact the PEHT office at 907-274-7526 or 888-685-7526, or visit the pharmacy section of our website at pehtak.com/forms.
