[epicproviders] Effective 01/28/2025: Specialty Medication Care Coordination - Update

[Epic - All Provider Staff]

Effective January 28, 2025:  As part of the Specialty Pharmacy's ongoing care coordination efforts, the Specialty Pharmacy will now review specific medication orders.  While all the specialty medications listed typically require a prior authorization, the goal of this outreach through proactive pharmacy benefits review is to minimize the number of phone calls to clinics from outside pharmacies and/or patients when medications cannot be filled or obtained from that pharmacy. This feature will allow upfront pharmacy benefits review and investigation, ensuring that the medication is going to a patient preferred in-network specialty pharmacy.  This also has the potential for medication financial assistance to be applied sooner, based on patient need and as applicable.
