Patient Support Program for Specialty Drugs<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For some of the drugs that require prior authorization, we apply our specialty drug Preferred Pharmacy Network (PPN) Program.1<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Once you are approved for a specialty drug, your PPN care coordinator will contact you to provide you with your preferred pharmacy options based on treatment locations in your area, and provide any other support services required<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chances are you may already be using a pharmacy that is in our network. If not, your PPN care coordinator will provide assistance with locating a pharmacy that will be right for you.

    There is potential to save on out-of-pocket expenses being paid for specialty drugs. Free delivery of medication is available, if required, directly to a treatment location or any other address. The dispensing of medication can be coordinated with treatment appointments and adherence support services to help ensure that medication is being taken as prescribed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
