This unique model accelerates the timeline to access new payers and mitigates risk, ensuring that health systems can quickly expand their reach without the usual delays.

Understanding that each health system is unique, our team collaborates closely with partners to develop tailored payer access strategies. Using proprietary data tools like TelemetryRx®, we craft personalized roadmaps that address specific market conditions and payer requirements, backed by over 50 years of collective expertise in specialty pharmacy and managed care.
