Retail Pharmacy vs. Specialty Pharmacy
You might be familiar with retail pharmacies. These are establishments where you can purchase over-the-counter medications such as pain relief, allergy care, and cough suppressants. You can also pick up your usual prescriptions from retail pharmacies.
Specialty pharmacies, on the other hand, deal with specialty medications that cannot be found in retail pharmacies. Specialty pharmacies focus on high-cost products that treat complex disease states.
Employees at specialty pharmacies fulfill completely different duties using a unique skill-set to navigate the complexities between insurance, providers, and the patient. They are patient advocates, helping with co-pay assistance, medication management and therapy compliance, all to improve the patient’s health. Communications with patients can occur a variety of ways including phone calls, mobile-enabled patient assessments, or patient pickup.
Benefits Coordination plus Financial Assistance
We are your financial advocates. We will help you every step of the way from insurance authorizations and co-pays to enrolling you in funding assistance programs. Our reimbursement specialists are experts at navigating through financial paperwork and finding ways to help ensure your medications are available.
Timely Refills plus Prescription Monitoring
Our team of clinical experts will contact you about your medications so you don’t experience a lapse in your treatment which could lead to problems. We will coordinate our efforts with your healthcare provider so you experience the best possible outcomes from your therapy.
Free Medication Delivery plus Supplies
We can send all medications and supplies you need for your therapy to your home free of charge. Our goal is to make sure you have your medication in-hand so you can start it as quickly as possible and avoid any interruptions in therapy. We want to make getting your medicine easy and convenient for you.
