Why specialty drugs need their own strategy
Specialty medications account for 50% or more of drug spend, yet they make up only 1 to 2% of total prescriptions. There are often significant costs for both the patient and the employer.
We connect the patient to the manufacturer’s assistance program by verifying eligibility and enrolling them in the relevant programs. We even re-enroll patients when needed, so they keep receiving manufacturer assistance toward the cost of these drugs.
