AI Amplified: AI & Prescription Price Transparency, w/Miriam Paramore, Founder and CEO of RxUtility

S1E11: AI and Prescription Price Transparency, with Miriam Paramore, Founder and CEO of RxUtility On this episode, host Dr. Heather Bassett welcomes Miriam Paramore, founder and CEO of RxUtility, discussing a problem most patients don't realize exists: prescription drug prices are opaque, highly variable across pharmacies, and can fluctuate multiple times in a single day — leaving patients to discover the real cost only when they reach the counter. Miriam explains how RxUtility functions as a utility layer across health systems, payers, pharmacists, and digital health partners, aggregating insurance copays, manufacturer coupons, cash prices, and direct-to-consumer options into a single, actionable view at the point of prescribing and pickup. Miriam shares how she built RxUtility from inception with a small team by leaning on AI in place of traditional legal, financial, and operational roles — and what that taught her about the real-world limits and potential of agentic AI in healthcare. Dr. Bassett and Miriam also discuss Mimi™, RxUtility's generative AI orchestrator managing real-time pricing data across 20,000 drugs and 60,000 pharmacies, and their shared belief that AI should enhance clinical efficiency to bring more human connection to patient care.
