Autoimmune drug costs are rising — and payers are feeling the pressure. With more than 100 different autoimmune conditions, and treatments that can exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, managing specialty spend requires a smarter approach. Data-driven pharmacy management, paired with high-touch pharmacist engagement, can help identify savings opportunities without disrupting care.

What happens after a specialty prescription is filled? That’s where some of the biggest patient and caregiver challenges begin. In the latest episode of Pharmacy Friends, we dig into the gaps that show up post-prescription — and what it takes to close them.

We reimagine pharmacy solutions to deliver the care we would want for our loved ones. That purpose energizes our team and creates endless opportunities to make a difference.

Specialty drugs are costly and complex for payers and patients alike. That’s where Prime’s Advocate+™ Pharmacy Match comes in. This solution connects members with the specialty pharmacy that best fits their needs, based on cost, care capabilities and experience. The result: better coordination between providers and pharmacies and a smoother path to therapy for patients. Linsey Krueger J.D., associate vice president of strategic partnerships, recently shared this — and more — about Prime’s specialty leadership at Asembia’s AXS26 conference.

Published three times a year, the Prime Therapeutics Report is your go-to resource for navigating the complexities of chronic and specialty disease management in managed care.
