PHARMACY LIAISONS

The single point of contact for a specialty pharmacy patient, liaisons assess needs and provide support with every refill, coordinate drug delivery, address any new insurance and/or copay challenges, and monitor for adherence. When issues arise, they work across the care continuum with other clinical and pharmacy staff, including the clinical pharmacist, the prescriber and the clinic staff, to ensure that concerns are resolved quickly.

These Patient Support Advocates remove administrative burden from your clinical team and provide trusted support to patients regarding prior authorizations, test claims, financial aid and much more.
