Specialty medications are often expensive and require special handling and expert knowledge from healthcare providers. Specialty medications are used to treat complex, life-threatening, or rare conditions and usually cannot be dispensed from a community pharmacy. Common characteristics of specialty medications include the following:

• High cost
• Infusion or injection based
• Requires special handling and storage (e.g., refrigeration)
• Used for treatment of complex or rare conditions
• Must be given by a healthcare provider
• Requires strict monitoring by a healthcare provider

Specialty medications often require a prior authorization through your insurance provider. This means the insurance company requires documentation of your condition before it will cover a high-cost medication.

An Allied Health Solutions team member will immediately let you know if there are any issues that may delay fulfillment, such as prior authorizations or quantity limits imposed by your insurance company.

Allied Health Solutions will work with you, your healthcare provider, and your insurance company to complete this process. Our team will work to complete any prior authorizations as quickly as possible.

Once we receive notification from your insurance company, we will inform you and your healthcare provider of the results of this process. Because drug pricing and benefits coverage can change on a daily basis, a final determination of your coverage and co-pay cost cannot be made until your claim is processed.

You may also call the member services phone number on your prescription insurance card to get the most current information from your insurance provider. If you have Medicare Part D drug coverage, the cost of your prescription will change significantly as you meet your deductible and initial co-pay, progress through the “donut hole,” and reach total out-of-pocket expense.

Patient Care Coordinators can assist you in determining and understanding your options.

Our team will contact you if your insurance company denies coverage of your medication. We will inform you and your physician about potential options to cover part or full cost of your medication:

• Patient assistance programs available through manufacturer (e.g., co-pay cards, coupons), financial assistance foundations, and local non-profit organizations associated with the disease state. Our team will help you enroll in financial assistance programs, when available.
• Utilizing a pharmacy within the insurance company’s preferred network.
• Contacting the physician regarding alternative therapies that are covered by the insurance company, if applicable.

Generally, your doctor will contact Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy and fax or e-prescribe a new prescription. You may also drop off a paper prescription at our Morgantown, West Virginia location.

Once we receive a prescription, our team will contact you to gather insurance information and potentially schedule pickup or delivery.

An Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy employee will let you know if our pharmacy is unable to fulfill the prescription. Suggestions and guidance on where the medication may be available will be given upon request.

Your prescription may be substituted with a generic equivalent based on state law, equivalency rating, and in accordance with company policy.

Please ask a pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.

Call us today at 304-285-7216 or toll free at 844-988-7216. Our team will coordinate with your healthcare provider or current specialty pharmacy to transfer your prescription and set up pick up or delivery.

Approximately one week before your next refill is due, one of our team members will contact you via telephone. He or she will also ask you a few questions to see how you are feeling and note any changes to your medications or allergies.

If you need a refill before Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy contacts you, you may contact us by phone at 304-285-7216 or toll free at 844-988-7216, or by email at AHSRx@wvumedicine.org.

Contact Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy as soon as possible at 304-285-7216 or toll free at 844-988-7216 if there are any changes to your prescription insurance.

Our team will communicate with your insurance company to determine if your specialty medication is covered and if a new prior authorization is needed.

Please keep in mind that this process can take as long as 30 days, so it is important to contact us as soon as possible to avoid delays in getting your medication.

If your medication is not covered by your new insurance company, our team will work with your healthcare provider and insurance company to evaluate options, such as alternate medications or financial assistance programs to cover part or full cost of your medication.

If your new insurance requires that you use a pharmacy within its preferred network, our team will coordinate the transfer of your prescription to a preferred pharmacy while keeping you and your provider informed.

The Patient Management Program is included at no cost to you, and you are automatically enrolled as a patient of Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy. You may opt out at any time.

Clinical pharmacists will work with you on any problems, concerns, or questions you may have regarding your medication therapy. Topics discussed may include disease overview, medications, dosing, drug or food interactions, side effects, and coordination of care with your physician, when appropriate.

You may contact a pharmacist by calling 304-285-7216 or toll free at 844-988-7216.

The potential benefits of this program include side-effect management, medication and disease-state education, increased medication compliance, and improved overall health.

Also, when coordination of care with your physician is necessary, your pharmacist will have all the information needed to help make informed decisions regarding what is best for you.

The potential limitations of this program are dependent on you as the patient. You must follow the directions of your physician and pharmacist, comply with your medication instructions, and be willing to discuss the details of your disease, medical history, and current practices with your pharmacist, so he/she can have a full understanding of the situation.

Please let your physician know you are a patient of Allied Health Solutions Specialty Pharmacy and are enrolled in the Patient Management Program. A good relationship between your physician and your pharmacist will benefit everyone involved in your care.
