How to Remove Friction From the Specialty Medication Journey
Your specialty medications can transform patient outcomes—if patients receive them.
Between prescription and first dose, patients face significant roadblocks that cause abandonment:
93% of providers say prior authorizations delay care
59% of patients don’t know copay assistance exists
85% of specialty medications require specific pharmacies—but prescriptions are often sent to the wrong ones
The cost of these delays? Abandoned prescriptions. Patients who never start therapy. Lost adherence.
