What’s a specialty prescription?
Specialty medications are prescribed to treat chronic, complex or rare conditions such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and hepatitis C. They’re typically different from traditional medications because they:
• Have special storage, temperature and handling requirements
• Are given by infusion, injection or taken orally
• Need to be taken on a strict schedule
• Cost more than regular medications
• Require close patient monitoring and ongoing support
We make it easy.
Specialty pharmacy aims to simplify your treatment journey by:
• Ensuring your medication is shipped to you correctly and on time
• Focusing on your specific treatment needs with our Specialty360 Therapy Teams
• Teaching you how to take and store your medication and stay on schedule
• Helping you understand and manage any possible side effects
• Connecting you to financial assistance options when available
How will my prescriptions be refilled?
- We start the process of filling your prescription as soon as you or your doctor sends us your prescription.
- We’ll reach out to your doctor and insurance company for prior authorization—there’s no need for you to do anything.
- We’ll let you know when your prescription is ready and will set up a shipping date and location that’s convenient for you—your home, doctor’s office, work or nearest Walgreens.
