Strategic, supportive solutions.

Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy has been a leading national provider of injectable medications and specialty biotech therapies since 1999. Our program helps clients manage these costly medications while providing individualized patient services that include:

• Central and retail fill model
• Refill scheduling and coordination
• Assistance with complex administration methods
• Side-effect management
• Disease-specific bilingual educational materials
• Medication adherence assistance
• 24-hour pharmacist availability
• Insurance benefit coordination

We have also focused on expanding our specialty pharmacy services. In 2005, Walgreens acquired Schraft’s A Specialty Pharmacy LLC, one of the nation’s leading providers of advanced fertility medications and services. And in 2006, Walgreens acquired Medmark Specialty Pharmacy Solutions, a national specialty pharmacy company with expertise in managed care program development and implementation.

Our unique program provides distribution of specialty medications virtually anywhere in the United States and Puerto Rico. And because many of these medications are infused, Walgreens can also provide infusion services in the patient’s home through our accredited home care company. There’s no need to go outside Walgreens for additional services.
