Specialty pharmacies do more than just fill prescriptions for complex conditions. They help manage your specialty medications and empower you through education and support. We partner with Aurora Specialty Pharmacy to offer:
- Prescription insurance benefit assistance: Often, there are high costs associated with medications for complex diseases. We help you get your medication at the lowest possible cost by explaining your benefits, helping you file your claims and assisting with medication authorization. Learn more about insurance and Medicare at Advocate Pharmacy.
- Coordination: We’ll coordinate with your care providers to ensure dosages and any potential drug interactions are reviewed by both your care team and our expert pharmacists and technicians.
- Education: It’s important to understand the educational materials that come with your specialty medications as well as side effects, interactions and dosages. We’ll help you navigate and understand the details of your medication plan.
- Medication delivery: For your convenience, your specialty medications will be mailed right to your front door. Your upcoming refills will also be monitored to make sure you get your next shipment in plenty of time.
