Specialty medications are critical to improving the health and lives of individuals and are also some of the most expensive medications being used today.  Specialty medications are typically more than $250 per prescription, in an injectable or oral form, treat chronic and complex diseases and typically require additional clinical support for better health outcomes. 

We want to make these medications accessible and cost effective for our members.  That’s why we offer the Specialty Pharmacy Program. This program supports the health care provider/patient relationship and provides focused support to help better manage rare and complex conditions by offering:

• Better use of benefits — Members can make the most of their health benefits by getting the right specialty medications from our network providers when they need them.
• Specialty pharmacies and home health care providers — Our network providers have the resources and expertise needed to store and dispense specialty medications and ancillary supplies.
• Expert support — Members get 24/7 telephone access to specially trained pharmacists who can provide answers, patient education materials, proactive refill monitoring, counseling on side effects and more.
• Individualized services — Experienced nurses and pharmacists trained in specialty medications and rare and complex conditions offer personalized therapy support that can lead to better health outcomes.
