Specialty pharmacies provide pharmaceutical or biological products that are part of complex care protocols and may include special handling and delivery instructions, patient medication education and continuous monitoring.
Therapies that require specialty pharmacy medication are often costly. HMSA's pharmacy benefit manager has contracted with specialty pharmacies to provide specialty pharmacy medication and patient education and support. Physicians are encouraged to order specialty prescription drugs by faxing the order to one of the following specialty pharmacies.
