Easy to use
If you have a new prescription for drugs included in the Specialty Drug Care program, a nurse case manager will contact you by phone to introduce you to the program. The nurse case manager is there to make arrangements for you to get your medication and to help you manage your condition.
Choice for dispensing and delivery
You can often pick up your prescription at a specific pharmacy or you can choose the convenience of having your specialty medication shipped to your home, direct to an infusion clinic or doctor’s office.
